−	Upon its formation the Ninth Federated Commonwealth RCT was recruited from both the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and [[Federated Suns]] in an attempt to build loyalty to the [[Federated Commonwealth]] as a whole. One of its first missions was to hunt down the pirate [[Paula Trevaline]] in the [[Periphery]]. In the assault on [[Tortuga Prime]], capital of [[Tortuga Dominions]], the unit lost nine hundred infantry, a battalion of [[Combat Vehicle|Armor]], a wing of [[aerospace fighter]]s (including two [[DropShip|DropShips]]), and two companies of [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]], but were successful in their mission, easily crushing the local pirate bands and bringing "Lady Death" to [[New Syrtis]] for trial.

Having trained for operations in fierce weather<ref>''Lethal Heritage'', p. 279</ref>, the Ninth was ordered to move through the Diabolis (Twycross' heavy storms) and hit the Falcons in the flank while the [[10th Lyran Guards]] and [[Kell Hounds]] pinned them in place.<ref>''The Battle for Twycross'', p. 49</ref> The presence of the Falcon Guards altered the plan. Soon after the unit withdrew and would undergo rebuilding of some of its units. The Ninth remained on Twycross with the Tenth Lyran Guards when [[Clan Steel Viper]] struck in November [[3051]]. Intent on succeeding where the Falcons had failed, the Vipers' elite [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Gamma Galaxy]] undertook a series of risky combat drops under cover of the Diaboilis, catching the FedCom defenders by complete surprise who assumed the Vipers would favor clear weather that favored their superior long-range weapons. While the Tenth Lyran faced the [[423rd Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|423rd]] and [[428th Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|428th Assault]] [[Clusters]] on the Plain of Curtains, the [[94th Battle (Clan Steel Viper)|94th Battle Cluster]] struck the Ninth in Schreuder Heights. Outmatched, the Ninth FedCom were driven back to the spaceport at Camora, force off-world within hours of the Steel Viper's landing.<ref name=IC-88>"Invading Clans'', p. 88 "Clan Steel Viper - Occupation Zone (As of April 2055) - Fifth Wave - Twycross (FC)"</ref> ===Truce of Tukayyid=== After the Battle of Tukayyid, the Ninth Federated Commonwealth RCT was reassigned to the [[Sarna March]] of the [[Federated Commonwealth]]. The unit was ready to reinforce the [[3rd Donegal Guards]], who were at the time guarding the [[Tao 'Mechworks]] on [[Styk]].<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 88, says the 9th F-C RCT was "within jump radius" but deployment tables don't list 9th F-C.</ref> ===Secession=== The Ninth Federated Commonwealth RCT would remain within the Lyran half of the Federated Commonwealth until the secession of the [[Lyran Alliance]]. The unit was renamed by order of [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] and became either the 1st or the 2nd Alliance Guard. The unit's loyalties seemed questionable and it became a repository for personnel of questionable loyalty. Within two years the unit was broken up and their equipment and the more loyal personnel were used to form the core of the new [[Alliance Jaegers]].<ref name=FMLA>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 48</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 9th FedCom RCT''' |- | [[Colonel]]||Johnstadt||[[3039]]<ref>''Marauder (short story)''</ref> |- | [[Hauptmann General]]||[[Alvin Kimmel]]||[[3042]] - [[3050]]<ref name=HG>''Hollow Glory''</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History == ===3050=== '''9th F-C RCT ''' (Regiment/Green/Reliable) <ref name = 20yup26/> :* CO: Hauptmann General Alvin Kimmel <ref name = 20yup26/> :Note: At this point in time the command was stationed on [[Kimball II]]. <ref name = 20yup26>''20 Year Update'', p. 26</ref> ===3054=== The unit consisted of: * 9th FedCom [[Regiment]] * 9th FedCom Armor Brigade * 9th FedCom Infantry Brigade ==Notes== The parade colors of the Ninth, when it was a member of the FedCom Corps, were navy blue with gold banding on the arms and legs of 'Mechs. Gold was also used to highlight panels on the upper torsos of 'Mechs and turrets of armor units, resulting in a checkerboard pattern. After being renamed, the color scheme was changed to a brown and tan paint scheme and replaces the black edging with green edging for the short time the unit was in service. ==Reference== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[20 Year Update]]'' * ''[[The Battle for Twycross]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Lyran Alliance]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Periphery]]'' * ''[[Hollow Glory]]'' (short story) * ''[[Invading Clans (sourcebook)|Invading Clans]]'' * ''[[Lethal Heritage]]'' * ''[[Marauder (short story)|Marauder]]'' (short story) * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[Touring the Stars: Tortuga Prime]]'' [[Category:Federated Commonwealth Commands|FedCom RCT, 09th]]
