Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The Ninth Benjamin Regulars were a medium BattleMech regiment in the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery.

History

Formation


The Ninth Benjamin Regulars, like most Benjamin Regulars, had a very poor relationship with the supply officers of the DCMS. As a result the Ninth's 'Mechs and tanks were often less-effective than they would appear.[1]

During the fighting on Mallory's World, the Ninth's most noteworthy battle was with the 1st Robinson Rangers outside of Harrison's Ferry. There the Ninth fought the First for several hours before receiving a retreat order. The Robinson Rangers never let up, however, pursuing the Ninth all the way to their drop zones. They returned to their baseworld, Proserpina, to rebuild.[2]

The Ninth Benjamin Regulars were stationed on Proserpina, near the Federated Suns border. The DCMS left the unit there to protect the border as other units were rotated to the Clan front.

Federated Suns Incursion

The unit was destroyed in 3062 when the command defended Proserpina against superior odds (1st Robinson Rangers + 8th Crucis Lancers + Robinson Battle Academy Cadre. [3]

Officers

Tactics

The Ninth is adept at city defense, pairing lances at critical spots around a city. Its attached armor and infantry operate independently, leading opposing forces into traps.
