History
The Lone Star Regiment was formed in 2825 on the planet Somerset from former Star League Defense Force and Rim Worlds military personnel, as well as surviving units from an Lyran Alliance attack on the Draconis Combine. After 200 years of service the Lone Star Regiment ended their service to the Draconis Combine in response to the Coordinator's "Death to Mercenaries" order. For the next 20 years the regiment clashed with raiders from the Capellan Combine while under the employ of the Federated Suns.
Starting in 3050 the Lone Star Regiment was employed by the Taurian Defense Force; it was during this period that they battled the Redfield Renegades. While the unit sustained significant losses as a result of this conflict they also gained control of an additional DropShip.[1]
In 3067 distrust amongst the unit regarding the existing commanding officer resulted in him being replacemed with the son of a previous unit commander. Acting in the employ of the Word of Blake the Lone Star Regiment supported operations on Epsilon Eridani. Fresh with equipment upgrades and other assets from their contract with the Word of Blake, the regiment then went on to assist the Taurians in their attempt to regain control of the Pleiades Cluster.
On the 21st of July 3072 while still deployed in the Pleiades Cluster the Lone Star Regiment was shattered by Hansen's Roughriders.[2][3]
