History[edit]

Formation during Clan Invasion[edit]

The Third Night Stalkers regiment was raised after Theodore Kurita's Phoenix Programs fell short of the need for new units. Retired warriors were offered one more chance to fight, and officers were transferred in from the Second. As of 3059, the unit was stationed on Xinyang.[1]

Operation Bulldog[edit]

After defeating Clan Nova Cat forces on Sawyer, the Third Night Stalkers and 6th Ghost regiment attacked Clan Smoke Jaguar forces on Schwartz.[2][3]

FedCom Civil War[edit]

During the FedCom Civil War, the Third was deployed to the Lyons Thumb as part of the peacekeeping force. A battalion of the Third was stationed on Yorii when mercenaries disguised as Lyran troops hit the world. The Stalkers drove them off-world.[4]

Dominion War[edit]


Federated Suns Incursion[edit]


Jihad[edit]

The regiment was destroyed by Word of Blake forces on Yorii and Lyons.

On Yorii, several bomb blasts (determined to be large "dirty bombs") were detected in the heart of Neo-Tokyo, devastating hundreds of city blocks, destroying several power nodes, and severing two major highway arterials over the Shokaku Ocean. As emergency crews responded to the massive disaster, waves of unidentified aerofighters dropped several bombs on the 60-million-acre fishing rights belonging to Kishi Amalgamated, releasing a chemical agent that begun to systematically destroy the fertile gorii-tuna awaiting harvesting there. As the Night Stalkers began to muster, the incoming DropShips unleashed a devastating missile attack on the island base, destroying it with multiple nuclear blasts and sending a tsunami across the Minamoto Sea that devastated the coastal croplands near Neo-Tokyo. It is unknown at this time if any Night Stalker units survived the bombardment. The death toll is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, though the greater damage is to the massive fisheries that cover almost seventy percent of the planet's oceans.[5]

Its surviving members were held in Blakist reeducation camps. Few survived.[6] The Third was officially listed as destroyed in 3085.[7] The three survivors of the unit were transferred into the Otomo to honor their years of resistance against the Blakists, even while in prison.[8]
