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. This resulted in the Battle of Parma (3150) between the Dragoons and a faction of mutineers led by Nicholas Crews, Gamma's leader, with casualties and deaths on both sides. At the end of the battle, the survivors compromised and agreed to terminate the contract with the Combine and join Clan Wolf.[6]
Second Disbandment
Along with most of the Dragoons, Gamma fought 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 their surviving equipment was used to rebuild other units. The Black Cats' DropShips were used by the reborn Zeta Battalion.[7]
