Sword of Light
The Sword of Light represent the elite of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldierys BattleMech arm. In order to join, one must have five years of flawless service in another regiment and pass a series of mental, physical, spiritual, and political tests. Non-combat staff are tested in the same manner. Sword of Light regiments receive top priority for supplies, and even have their own dedicated JumpShips and DropShips. One oddity of these regiments is that each one consists of four battalions instead of three. The Sword of Light regiments are not tied to a specific area of deployment, but travel the realm to assist where needed.
