15th Dracon Regiment
Sarna News
The remnants of the original SLDF's 15th Dracon Regiment, the 15th Dracon was one of the oldest mercenary units serving with the Capellan Confederation, accepting sponsorship and becoming a line unit prior to their destruction in 3069.
History
One of the older mercenary units in Capellan pay, the 15th Dracon came over to the Confederation following the departure of Aleksandr Kerensky. The Dracon has been involved in many of the heaviest actions of the latter half of the Succession Wars. Among the unit’s most memorable actions have been fierce firefights with elements of the Marik Oriente Hussars on Talitha in 2901; the raid on Irian in 2920; the capture of an entire battalion of Free Worlds Guards on Park Place in 2940; and the deep-space strike against the Marik world of Lancaster in 2950. The Fifteenth's victories was not without cost, having started as a standard size regiment, attrition reduced it down to two understrength battlions by the end of the Third Succession War, but continued to give a good account of itself.
Like many long term units, the Dracons accepted Capellan sponsorship in the early 3060's, however the unit was ultimately destroyed on Overton fighting the First Federated Suns Lancers RCT in early 3069.
Officers
As of 3025, the unit CO was Colonel Samuel Shimosa, also known as "Sir Samuel" for his policy of regularly contributing a percentage of captured booty to local planetary officials for civil improvements, an effort to leave something behind so the Dracons will be remembered by succeeding generations by the worlds he once helped defend.
As of 3063 the Commanding Officer was Sang-shao Rei Tsuba.
