History

Founded during the First Succession War along with five sister training battalions,[1][2] the Third Sakhara was a mixed regiment formed from the students and staff of the Sakhara Academy. The Third soon distinguished itself; fighting alongside its sister commands, the Third fought off three separate attacks by the Third Sword of Light and three other veteran BattleMech regiments. This became known as the Days of Jousting at Dragons, and established Sakhara Academy's reputation.[2]

The Third was a casualty of the Second Succession War.[3]
