	==History==		==History==
−	In [[2764]], the Twenty-first was a part of the [[3rd Regimental Combat Team (Star League)|Third Regimental Combat Team]] within [[XI Corps (Star League)|XI Corps]], one of several Corps that formed the SLDF [[16th Army (Star League)|Sixteenth Army]]. The Twenty-first was assigned to District 3 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]], and then transferred to an undisclosed district within the [[Periphery]] by [[2765]] as a part of the SLDF response to the [[New Vandenberg Uprising|Periphery Uprising]].<ref name=SL149>''The Star League'', p. 149: "Sixteenth Army"</ref> The Twenty-first survived the Periphery Uprising and the [[Hegemony Campaign]].<ref name=SL149/>	+	In [[2764]] the Twenty-First was a part of the [[3rd Regimental Combat Team (Star League)|3rd Regimental Combat Team]] within [[XI Corps (Star League)|XI Corps]], one of several Corps that formed the SLDF [[16th Army (Star League)|Sixteenth Army]].

	As part of the Third Region of the Draconis Combine Military Region, the Twenty-first Striker was a unit that was frequently called on to end pirate raiding. As such, they became known for their battlefield diplomacy. They were able to convince multiple pirates and raiders to surrender to them rather than the [[DCMS]]. As a result the number of actual pirate raids (as opposed to state-sponsored raiding masquerading as pirates) dropped to nearly nothing in [[2765]].<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 190</ref>		As part of the Third Region of the Draconis Combine Military Region, the Twenty-first Striker was a unit that was frequently called on to end pirate raiding.

−	===Jihad===
−	The Twenty-first was stationed on the Draconis planet [[Dieron]] along with the [[19th Cavalry Regiment|Nineteenth Cavalry Regiment]] when the [[Word of Blake Jihad]] began. Both regiments were nearly annihilated in the fight, but some survived, and even helped to rescue the Coordinator's son [[Hohiro Kurita (31st c.)|Hohiro Kurita]].<ref>''Strong as Steel'' in ''No Greater Honor'', p. 268</ref>
−
−	===Dark Age Era===
−	The few known survivors of the Twenty-first and Nineteenth, after the end of the Jihad, sought refuge in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. There they joined a reborn Eridani Light Horse, led by Lieutenant-General [[Wilfred Eichler]]; the unit was annihilated in the [[Hesperus#Seventeenth Battle|Battle of Hesperus II]] in 3145.<ref>''Strong as Steel'' in ''No Greater Honor'', p. 269</ref>

{{Update Needed|[[Mercenary's Handbook]], [[The Hunters]]}} {{infoBoxStateUnit | image = [[Image:21st Striker Regiment.png|180px|Insignia of the Eridani Light Horse - 21st Striker Regiment]] | nickname = *Four Horsemen <br/> * Winston’s Moonrakers (3025) <ref name=HD147/> | parent formation = [[3rd Regimental Combat Team (Star League)|3rd Regimental Combat Team]] | formed = unknown | year = 2764 | unitname = 21st Striker Regiment }} The '''21st Striker Regiment''' was a part of the [[Star League Defense Force]] Regular Army. After the [[Star League]] era the Twenty-First formed part of the famed [[Eridani Light Horse]] [[Mercenary unit]]. ==History== In [[2764]] the Twenty-First was a part of the [[3rd Regimental Combat Team (Star League)|3rd Regimental Combat Team]] within [[XI Corps (Star League)|XI Corps]], one of several Corps that formed the SLDF [[16th Army (Star League)|Sixteenth Army]]. The Twenty-First was assigned to District 3 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]], and then transferred to an undisclosed district within the [[Periphery]] by [[2765]] as a part of the SLDF response to the [[New Vandenberg Uprising|Periphery Uprising]].<ref name=SL149>''The Star League'', p. 149, "Sixteenth Army"</ref> The 21st survived the Periphery Uprising and the [[Hegemony Campaign]].<ref name=SL149/> As part of the Third Region of the Draconis Combine Military Region, the Twenty-first Striker was a unit that was frequently called on to end pirate raiding. As such, they became known for their battlefield diplomacy. They were able to convince multiple pirates and raiders to surrender to them rather than the [[DCMS]]. As a result the number of actual pirate raids (as opposed to state-sponsored raiding masquerading as pirates) dropped to nearly nothing in [[2765]].<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 190</ref> ==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 21st Striker Regiment (SLDF)''' |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 21st Striker Regiment (Mercenary)''' |- | [[Colonel]]||[[Charles Winston]]||[[3025]] - [[3035]]<ref name=MHp73> ''Mercenary's Handbook'' p.73</ref> |- | Colonel||[[Jamal Fallehy]]||[[3039]]<ref name=FMCSp90>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 90, "Edwin Amis profile"</ref> |- | Colonel||[[Edwin Amis]]||3039 - [[3060]]<ref name=FMCSp90/><ref name=MWobraidp22> ''Objective Raids'', p. 22</ref> |- | Colonel||[[Eveline Eicher]]||3060 - [[3061]] |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History== ===2771=== '''21st Striker Regiment''' === 2786 - 2821=== '''21st Striker''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name= FSSp138>’’ First Succession War’’, p. 138</ref> : Note: At this point in time the medium-weight unit was stationed on [[Trondheim]].
