History[edit]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
Tai-Sho Goshi Tengwan commanded the Second Sword of Light During the Lyran invasion of Buckminster in the first wave of Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG. His skilled defense of Buckminster City prevented the world from falling, ultimately forcing the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces off the world.[1]
Ronin War[edit]
When Tai-shu Marcus Kurita refused to accept the establishment of the Free Rasalhague Republic in March 3034, he went rogue and traveled to the Predlitz system along with the Eighth Benjamin Regulars and Twelfth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre. The First Tyr had been sent to bring Kurita to justice and had encircled his remaining forces when Tai-Sho Goshi Tengwan and the Second Sword of Light arrived. They where there on behalf of Gunji-no-Kanrei Theodore Kurita and had been on a heavy burn since arriving at the jump point a few days earlier. He reiterated that these ronin had disgraced the Dragon and would feel the Second's full wrath. After the fighting, the Eighth Benjamin Regulars surrendered to Tengwan, and he provided proof to the First Tyr that Marcus Kurita was dead.[2]
Attack on Chandler[edit]
While the Clan Ghost Bear strike force was deployed on Chandler to find Tengwan, the DCMS opposition was found refueling at a fuel depot. Both the Bears and Combine forces made no hesitation to attack each other on the planet. Upon refueling, Tengwan was caught off-guard by the attack when the Ghost Bears attacked his DropShip, forcing him out its door. Although the Draconis forces fought valiantly, they were no match against the Ghost Bear strike force and Tengwan was captured by the Clan.[3]
Fate[edit]
| “ | "The insignia on the lead ‘Mech is definitely Rentoshi’s. He leads the forces on Wolcott, now. Why are you looking for him, anyway?" | ” |
- —Tengwan after his interrogation by the Ghost Bears
After Tengwan was captured on Chandler by Clan Ghost Bear, he was interrogated by the Clan about their attackers. His answer led the Bears to Wolcott, where they would find Ano Rentoshi and his Hatamoto-Chi.
It is unclear if the Ghost Bears returned Tengwan back to the Draconis Combine or kept him as a bondsman.
