History[edit]
First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War[edit]
During the First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War, which began in 3062 with a suicidal attack by three regiments of the Alshain Avengers against Alshain.[1] A part of Omicron Galaxy, the Sixth Bear Regulars dropped on Nykvarn,[2] hitting the 5th Sun Zhang Academy Cadre. The first battle destroyed one battalion of the Fifth completely, and their losses continued to mount.[3] The Sixth concentrated assault BattleMechs against the Fifth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre, inflicting heavy damage until the campaign bogged down when the Fifth went to ground and started fighting a guerrilla war against the Ghost Bears.[2] Eventually the Fifth had to withdraw to Brocchi's Cluster to rebuild.[4]
The Jihad[edit]
Following the liberation of Terra the Sixth were incorporated into Sigma Galaxy[5] from Omicron Galaxy[6] to compensate Sigma for the loss of the Seventh Bear Regulars; the Sixth had trouble adjusting to life in Sigma, however, viewing the Galaxy as being a vehicle galaxy.[5]
Dark Age[edit]
The Sixth's tenure in Sigma Galaxy would be relatively short; the Ghost Bear's Theta Galaxy had taken substantial damage during the Jihad, and the Dominion Council decided to disband a number of second-line Galaxies to assist in rebuilding various elements of the touman. Sigma Galaxy was one of the Galaxies chosen to be disbanded, with three complete Clusters[7] - the Sixth Bear Regulars, Tenth Phalanx and Twelfth Provisional Garrison Cluster - transferring into Theta Galaxy.[8]
As a part of Theta Galaxy the Sixth was relocated to the heart of the Ghost Bear Dominion as it rebuilt from the Jihad and the mass defections to the Republic of the Sphere that had prompted the transfer of so many units from other Galaxies into it.[7]
At some point following the Rime Otter's debut in 3146, the Sixth engaged the Crater Cobras when the latter raided Soverzene. Despite taking heavy damage the Sixth's sole Rime Otter continued fighting day after day, proving the 'Mech's value in its intended role as a protector of its Starmates.[9]
