The task force invading the planet consisted of the [[8th Donegal Guards]] supported by two mercenary commands, 1st [[Dragonslayers]] and the infamous [[Gray Death Legion]]. Official reports suggest that the planet should be undefended despite rumors of two unknown formation were on planet. The First Ghost were tasked with the defense of vital spaceports. That was also the target of the Gray Death Legion how landed as second unit of the task force on the world. The mercenaries staged simultaneous strikes at the two spaceports. The first combat drops were uncontested but the second where difficult for the Steiner force. The First Ghost started 3 assault on that position in short order but were always beaten. The other half of the mercenaries travel over 150 km from their landing point to their beleaguered comrades. Unexpected by the 1st the flanking raids were devastating. The Legion chased the Ghost and barely three companies could retreat off planet.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 29–31</ref> Elements of the First Ghost who were left behind on Altais continued to hamper [[AFFC]] efforts by performing acts of sabotage and other disruptive acts.<ref>''Eight Nine Three'' in ''The Corps'', p. 42</ref> ===Clan Invasion=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Operation Bulldog=== Volunteers from the unit formed the ''Swift Spirits'' Provisional Company as part of [[Operation Bird Dog]].<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 8</ref> ===Dominion War=== The First Ghost was deployed to [[Fellanin II]] to dissuade Federated Suns from attacking. They were recalled to the Clan border as soon as the Ghost Bears attacked but didn't arrive until the war had ended. They returned to the Proserpina Prefecture, retaking Proserpina with the [[1st Sword of Light]], [[12th Dieron Regulars]] and the [[46th Dieron Regulars]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 114</ref> They suffered heavy casualties in the process, and were rotated to Fellanin II to provide them with time to rebuild.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 116</ref> ===Federated Suns Incursion=== In [[3066]], the First Ghost was among the Draconis forces active in the defense of [[Proserpina]].<ref>''Marsh Owl''</ref> ===Jihad=== In [[3068]] this unit captured [[David]] after crushing the [[David Militia]].<ref name=CombineAssault>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [21/09/3068]: "Combine Forces Assault March Worlds Without Provocation"''</ref> During the [[Jihad]] the First Ghost was ordered off of Fellanin II and relocated to [[Kuzuu]]. There they spent the next three years hunting down [[Black Dragon Society]] operatives. They were still on Kuzuu in [[3079]].<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 15</ref> The First Ghost were used as garrison troops during [[Operation SCOUR]]. They relocated to [[Nykvarn]] in [[3085]]. Two of their battalions at this time were at full strength, but the third lacked several warriors. As they were so far from their supporting ''oyabun'' and clan, they began negotiating with local ''yakuza'' groups from the former [[Dieron Military District]] to find new soldiers.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 46</ref> ===Republic Era=== In 3100 the First Ghost was assigned to assault [[Jarett]] as part of the [[Second Combine-Ghost Bear War]].

Together with the ''[[Ryuken-go]]'' the First Ghost managed to damage the [[XI Principes Guards|Eleventh Principes]], but later withdrew farther into the Combine when more RAF forces arrived.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 66</ref> Together with the ''Ryuken-go'' the First Ghost were subsequently dispatched to [[Robinson]], arriving to reinforce the [[Seventh Sword of Light]] as it was holding its ground against the RAF's Second Army Group. The First Ghost then attempted to be the hammer to the Seventh Sword's anvil against the Eleventh Principes, but the Ghosts were in turn driven off by the [[XII Principes Guards|Twelfth Principes]] and [[XII Triarii Protectors|Twelfth Triarii]].<ref name=SFp77>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 77</ref> Elements of the First were redeployed alongside the ''Ryuken-go'' to reinforce the [[Seventh Sword of Light]] stationed at [[Robinson#Planetary_Locations|Bueller]] and being savaged by two lances of fearsome ''[[Marauder IIC]]''s drawn from the [[XI Principes Guards|Eleventh]] and [[XII Principes Guards|Twelfth Principes]]. Though the combined Ghost and ''Ryuken'' forces were able to defeat half the attacking ''Marauder IIC''s, it came at the cost of fifteen Seventh Sword 'Mechs, and the remaining RAF forces held the line long enough for additional Republic forces to arrive and smash the Combine flanks.<ref name=rg5p10>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 6'', p. 10: "Marauder IIC"</ref> After the Seventh Sword's defeat, the First Ghost was forced to retreat off-world as best it could.<ref name=SFp77/> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the First Ghost''' |- | ''[[Tai-sa]]''||[[Bryan Kasigi]]||[[3059]] - [[3067]]<ref name=FMDC113/><ref name=FMU116>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 116: "DCMS Deployment Table"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Goro Kobayashi]]||[[3085]]<ref name=FM3085p51>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 51: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> |- | ''Tai-sa''||[[Seijun Noketsuna]]||[[3145]]<ref name=FM3145p64>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 64: "DCMS Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== The First Ghost has taken Theodore's new fighting methods to an extreme. They expertly integrated all types of combat units at all levels, and used their forces to bring their maximum power to bear on an enemy's weak points. They are also experts at urban combat and close range fighting.
