History[edit]

Formation[edit]

The Third Ghost Regiment was formed in 3040.[1] The oyabun responsible for staffing the unit committed suicide after misunderstanding one of Theodore's wishes. When he died, most of the Third's loyalty to the DCMS died as well. Each battalion of the Third Ghost was drawn from a different yakuza clan, and they tended to think of themselves as separate units instead of a single regiment.[1]

Ronin War[edit]


War of 3039[edit]

On July 15 3039 the Third and Fourth Ghost Regiments landed on Breed and engaged the defending FedCom forces (Second Robinson Rangers and 1st NAIS Cadre) in a mobile campaign. The DCMS made the FedCom defenders believe that the invading force was much larger than the incoming two regiments. After the landing, the fight continued for three weeks without a clear winner. The Fourth Ghost got new orders to continue their raids deeper into enemy territory and the Second Robinson Rangers were recalled to Robinson to increase the defense for an anticipated attack which never occurred.[2]

Clan Invasion[edit]


Operation Bulldog[edit]


Dominion War[edit]

During the Dominion War, the Third Ghost launched an attack on Marawi, where they were destroyed by the 17th Provisional Garrison Cluster and the 30th Provisional Garrison Cluster.[3]

Officers[edit]

Tactics[edit]

The Third Ghost is the most traditional of all the Ghost Regiments. They tend to favor stand-up fights rather than the integrated attacks preferred by Theodore Kurita. They also tend to operate as separate battalions rather than a single regiment; this is a holdover from their origins.[1]
