Jihad

In 3077 the 2nd Dieron Regulars was one of two units to fight alongside Clan Ghost Bear forces on Dieron. Their air wing, the Dragon-kin, was decimated on the way to the planet but the ground units landed with few casualties. That changed when the 2nd Dieron encountered the Word of Blake's 19th Division. The 19th used a Luthien Armor Works facility as their headquarters, and the 2nd Dieron took serious losses breaching the facility's defenses. The Blakists had the last word however, killing most of the 2nd Dieron Regulars command structure when they detonated several nuclear warheads and destroyed the LAW facility.[1]

The survivors also saw some combat on Styx in 3077.[2] Later they joined Operation SCOUR and participated in the assault on Cairo.[3] During the combat drop, Blakist surface-to-air fire destroyed about half the unit. After the Jihad ended, they returned to Dieron.[4]
