History
The Eighth Alshain Regulars were formed at the end of the Ronin War, alongside the creation of the Alshain Military District.[3]
Clan Invasion
As of 3050, the Regulars were stationed on Buckminster.[4] By the autumn of 3051, the unit had been moved to garrison Thessalonika, in order to meet the threat of the Clan Invasion. They were stationed there when Clan Ghost Bear attacked, that same season. They lost the battle, but tied up Delta Galaxy for over a week with the help of the Twelfth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre. Roughly two-thirds of the unit was able to get off Thessalonika, along with some elements from the 12th.[5]
Operation Bulldog
Following the Truce of Tukayyid, the unit was the only remaining regiment of the Alshain Regulars; they where renamed the Eighth Alshain Avengers.[5] They were stationed on Pilkhua in early 3059.[6].
The unit was a part of a task force which liberated Yamarovka. The allied regiments (1st Davion Guards and 2nd Kell Hounds) fought alongside the 8th against the Jaguar's 11th Garrison Cluster.
Dominion War
In 3062, the unit participated in an unauthorized strike on Alshain, triggering the Combine-Ghost Bear War. Survivors of the conflict with the Ghost Bears were executed, and the unit was removed from the DCMS rosters.[7] In 3085, the unit was used only as a warning to dissuade commanders from starting fights on the Combine's borders with the Raven Alliance and Ghost Bear Dominion.[8][9]

They used their air forces for scouting missions and every convoy was escorted for self-defense.
