History

Third Succession War

In 3025 the unit was stationed on Misery.[3]

Dark Age

After the Jihad and Dark Age, the rebuilt Gamma Regiment was the first to return to mercenary contract work.[4]

In 3150, the regiment was stationed on planet Parma. It had a reputation for poor discipline, which allowed the Kuritans to find or forge excuses to arrest about ten of them. The new Dragoons liaison officer, Tai-sa Reiko Akamine, refused to release them to Dragoons' custody, to put pressure on the unit.[5]

The ongoing tensions and the arrival of a Clan Wolf representative trying to recruit the Dragoons for the battle on Terra, Star Captain Marotta Kerensky, caused a rift inside the Dragoons. The Battle of Parma (3150) was a real Dragoons civil war, led by Nicholas Crews, Gamma's leader, with some Dragoons of both sides killed. At the end of the battle, a compromise made all survivors agree to terminate the contract with the Combine and join Clan Wolf.[6]

Second Disbandment

Gamma fought, along most of the Dragoons, at the Battle of Terra, sustaining heavy losses: the Black Cats battalion had a single survivor... and the new Dragoons leader, Colonel Henry Kincaid was forced to deactivate it, though survivors and equipment of it were used to rebuild other units. The Black Cats' DropShips were used by the reborn Zeta Battalion.[7]
