History
The origins of the 180th Dragoon Combat Group are not known, however there is speculation that the command was originally the 238th Striker Regiment that may have turned mercenary in 2784 although this remains unconfirmed.[1]
It is the heaviest unit in the Brigade, designed for assault combat. The main mission for the last 300 years was to act as an anchor for the other regiment and fought in many campaigns. During the FedCom Civil War they fought against the 11th Avalon Hussars on Brockway and acted later as a relief force for the allied forces on Panpour. On Panpour the unit hammered two entire March Militias into the ground. DeMaestri's Sluggers regiment of the Fighting Urukhai were nearly destroyed while they acted on their own goals and the pro Katherine forces made short work of them.
