Overview

The Twelfth Heavy Assault Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army before entering service as a mercenary unit following the Star League Civil War.

History

Star League

In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XXI Corps, First Army, to District 1 of the Lyran Commonwealth Military Region.[1] The Twelfth survived the New Vandenberg Uprising and the Hegemony Campaign and signed on as a mercenary unit with House Steiner by 2784.[1][2]

Mercenary

The Regiment was stationed on Alkalurops in 2786.[3] In 2791 they supported the 2nd Lyran Guards in their assault on Radostov, destroying the 14th Bolan Defenders in the fighting. Still in support of the Second they captured the planet of Herzberg in 2801 and Finsterwalde in 2803 alongside the 11th Arcturan Guards. Supporting the Eleventh they recaptured Radostov in 2808.[4] The Twelfth then settled into a garrison posting on the planet and was still in place in 2821.[3]

Regaining twenty-percent of their strength during the lull between the First and Second Succession War, by 2830 the Twelfth Heavy Assault Regiment had been redeployed to garrison Zollikofen. By the end of Second Succession War just over thirty years later though, the unit had suffered heavy losses, battered down to a third of their regimental strength. Licking their wounds, as of 2864 the Twelfth Heavy Assault Regiment remained stationed on Zollikofen.[5]
