History
Formation
The Seventh Ghost regiment was mostly composed of undesirables, reformed criminals, and yakuza. The commanders of the Seventh worked very hard to make their warriors look to their future instead of their past. One key to this success was the commander's judgment of the warriors based solely on their performance in the regiment.[1]

War of 3039
The Seventh Ghost were sent together with the Eighth Ghost as relief force to aid the beleaguered Second Shin Legion on Sadalbari. The Legion was close to total destruction, because they faced the combined might of two Davion RCTs the Fifth Davion Guards and Third FedCom RCT. The fresh troops surprised the FedCom invaders with a combat drop on the Third FedCom's position. The continued pressure were to much for the Third and the Fifth suffer also horrendous losses. With no reinforcement in jump range the FedCom troops retreated.[2]

Dominion War
Located on Matsuida after Operation Bulldog, the Seventh Ghost sent two battalions to the Ghost Bear front while leaving the third behind to garrison the planet.[3] While those two battalions were away, the Federated Suns hit Matsuida, destroying the Seventh Ghost's third battalion. The AFFS forces were forced off-world by the returning two battalions of the Seventh Ghost and several other DCMS units.[3]
During the FedCom Civil War the Seventeenth Avalon Hussars landed on Matsuida. There they were led on a merry chase by a battalion of the Seventh Ghost. After nearly two months of cat and mouse, the Seventeenth Hussars were able to destroy the battalion of the Seventh Ghost.[4]
Federated Suns Incursion
The Seventh Ghost took the world of Harrow's Sun for the Combine.[5]
Jihad
The Seventh Ghost were tasked to raid Benet in September 3068, but were intercepted by the First New Ivaarsen Chasseurs well outside the planetary gravity well, chewing up much of the their air cover. Contested the entire way in, the Seventh Ghost managed to capture Martine and the Browning ammunition plant but were been mired by the Chaussers continuous hit-and-fade defense. The Sevent Ghost forces finally left the planet considering the raid a success.[6]
They were then ordered garrison Marduk in the early years of the Jihad. Federated Suns forces raided the planet several times, and the Seventh requested permission to retaliate. Unfortunately a Black Dragon Society sympathizer rerouted the Seventh's requests and so the Seventh simply held their post for several years. After the First Ghost left Fellanin II a rebellion broke out. In 3075 Tai-shu Isoroku Kurita personally ordered the Seventh to destroy the rebellion. Unfortunately the Black Dragon Society–controlled Sabre Cat was orbiting the world and destroyed two of the Seventh's DropShips. Despite this the Seventh was successful in purging the Black Dragons from Fellanin II. They remain on the world in 3079.[7]
Republic Era
In 3085 the Seventh Ghost was reassigned to Capra. There they faced multiple raids from the Federated Suns and Clan Snow Raven. To make up the losses they've sustained in these raids, the Seventh has lowered their acceptance standards. This does let them put more soldiers in the field, but these poorly trained and equipped troops frequently don't survive combat. This vicious cycle makes rebuilding the unit extremely difficult.[8]
Dark Age
During the Draconis Combine invasion of the Draconis March, the Seventh Ghost Regiment landed on Sakhara V. They faced the Sakhara Academy Training Battalion and lost all their infantry and a third of their 'Mech forces. After the Ghost's commander died of a heart attack, Executive Officer Takeji Yoshizawa stepped into the command role using VTOLs to flank the cadet force. The green Academy battalion members were routed, with only a company able to withdraw to the Academy grounds. The next day, that company was destroyed.[9]
