History
The Eleventh Atrean Dragoons were effectively destroyed on Bolan in 2541 but kept on FWLM rolls for political reasons. Rebuilt by Erin Chu, a former mercenary in time for the First Succession War.[1]
During Anton Marik's Revolt the 11th was stationed on Matheran.[2] At that time they were inexperienced and equipped with medium-weight 'Mechs. Since they were loyal to the Captain-General, Anton Marik had to dispatch a force to deal with them. He sent the 12th Atrean Dragoons to Matheran, confident that the 11th would be destroyed quickly. Unfortunately several officers, including all three battalion commanders, resigned rather than support Anton. This lack of experience allowed the 11th to string out the 12th's efforts to destroy them. The 12th would be on Matheran for six months, slowly grinding the 11th down to half strength. The timely arrival of Smithson's Chinese Bandits lifted the pressure on the 11th Dragoons and forced the 12th on the defensive.[3]
Though the 12th was nearly destroyed after another month of fighting, the 11th wasn't able to deliver the death blow. Instead Duke Anton sent Wolf's Dragoons Beta and Gamma regiments to reinforce the 12th Atrean Dragoons. The Wolf's Dragoons units were led by a newly created unit called the Black Widow Company.[4] Smithson's Chinese Bandits saw the writing on the wall and began to withdraw, advising the 11th Dragoons to do the same. The 11th initially refused, but soon discovered that they were trapped between two larger and more experienced forces. During their retreat, the 11th Dragoons survivors ran into the Black Widow Company and couldn't get past them. When they received reports that Beta regiment was on the way, the 11th Dragoons surrendered to Captain Natasha Kerensky.[5]
Twenty years later during the Andurien Secession, the 11th Dragoons and 8th Orloff Grenadiers attacked a single battalion of the 3rd Defenders of Andurien on Sadurni. Despite being warned that the 3rd Defenders were very skilled, the 11th and 8th took serious damage. The 3rd Defenders, realizing they couldn't win a stand-up fight, broke into lance sized units that came together to attack the Loyalist forces. This might have gone on forever, but the 8th Grenadiers fought back without regard for collateral damage. At the end of February, 3038, the 3rd Defenders withdrew to Andurien.[6]
The Eleventh Dragoons later dropped on Andurien, and supported the 1st Regulan Hussars as they destroyed a battalion of the 3rd Defenders of Andurien.[7] Later the Eleventh Dragoons surrounded a rebel neighborhood on Atreus and began reducing it. To their surprise a grey haired woman appeared in the middle of their formation. She announced that she was Dame Catherine Humphreys and surrendered to the Eleventh Dragoons, who had surrounded her refuge.[8]
During the FedCom Civil War the 11th Atrean Dragoons were called to Rochelle, leading them to think that combat was imminent. Instead, the LCCC had them oversee shipments of humanitarian aid into the Isle of Skye. Persistent rumors that had the 11th Dragoons raiding worlds in the Skye region were investigated by SAFE.[9]
