Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The Seventeenth Benjamin Regulars are a heavy BattleMech Regiment in the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery.
Contents
History
Formation
The unit was home based on Benjamin outside the city of Deber City.[1] While the Seventeenth never adhered strictly to the samurai code of other units, it only implemented Theodore Kurita's reforms slowly, refusing to stoop to dishonorable tactics.[2]
4th Succession War
The Seventeenth participated in the Galtor campaign during 3025. After routing the 33rd Avalon Hussars several times, they took serious losses outside New Wuhan City when a battalion of the 12th Vegan Rangers performed a daring nighttime drop and ambushed them from behind. This allowed the 33rd to smash into the Seventeenth, and the two units began grinding the Seventeenth between them. The Seventeenth was able to withdraw from the field, but the inability of the Benjamin Regulars to destroy the Davion defenders led to Warlord Yorioshi being relieved of his command.[3]
