History

The unit was stationed on the world of Reisling's Planet in 3025. The First participated in the Galtor campaign in 3025 against Davion forces. They fought from August 29th to September 10th.[1] There, they destroyed the Raman Draconis March Militia and inflicted severe casualties on the Bremond Draconis March Militia.[2]

4th Succession War


War of 3039


Ronin Wars


Clan Invasion


Operation Bulldog

Volunteers from the unit formed the The Swarm Provisional Company as part of Operation Bird Dog.[3] The 1st Amphigean also raided the world of Byesville, losing only a lance to enemy forces.[4]

Dominion War

The First Amphigean took the world of Dyev in the Lyons Thumb.[4]

Federated Suns Incursion

In 3066 the First Amphigean defeated the 1st Ceti Hussars on Kesai IV, bringing the planet into the Draconis Combine.[4]

Jihad

Faced off against the Word of Blake on Atria in the early 3070's. They rotated to Dromini VI in 3073 and faced the Blakists a month later. The First Amphigean destroyed half the Blakist's DropShips with artillery fire, and continued to sting the invaders for months. Shortly before Operation SCOUR started, the High Command reinforced the First with infantry and armor assets.[5]

Officers

In 3025, the commanding officer was General Olivet Satterthwaite.[6][7]

In 3050 the commanding officer was Tai-sa Ishajii Michaels.[8]

As of 3059 to 3067 the commanding officer was commanded by Tai-sa Calvin Trueffeau.[9][10]

As of 3085 the commanding officer was Tai-sa Kenta Kato.[11]

Tactics

The First Amphigean LAG uses their high speed to engage an enemy force and then withdraws, encouraging their opponent to follow them. Enemies who do follow the retreating Amphigeans are typically ambushed by other Amphigean forces stationed nearby. After 3055 the First Amphigean used the same tactics, but Tai-sas Trueffeau and Two-Feathers would split the unit into two units. Against enemies who assumed they were facing the entire unit, this tactic of splitting up allowed the Amphigeans to hit the enemy in the flank or rear.
