−	As part of the Sian Dragoons, the '''Third Sian Dragoons''' were a part of the largest [[BattleMech]] [[brigade]] in the history of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] - both during the [[Age of War]], and then again in the closing decades of the [[Star League era]] as the [[CCAF]] began rapidly expanding and reactivating regiments - and a regiment that could trace its origins back to when the first ''[[WAM-B]]'' BattleMechs were issued to support the tanks of the [[Sian Lancers]].<ref name=FR2765CCAFp13/>	+	The '''Third Sian Dragoons''' were frequently used by the Strategios as a rapid strike force that would find a weakness in an enemy line and break through, allowing other Sian Dragoons regiments (like the [[2nd Sian Dragoons|Second]]) to drive the enemy from the field. In [[2765]] they were stationed on [[Aquagea]].<ref name=fr2765ccafp/>

−	The Third Sian Dragoons were based on [[Aquagea]] throughout the [[First Succession War]],<ref>''First Succession War'', p. 136</ref> and were still on the planet in [[2836]] when that world was attacked as part of the [[Free Worlds League|Free Worlds League's]] [[Operation ATTRACT]]. Fighting valiantly, the Third managed to hold out against the [[2nd Defenders of Andurien|Second Defenders of Andurien]] and [[2nd Free Worlds Guards|Second Free Worlds Guards]] for nearly three months before retreating off-world. The Dragoons' commander swore to return to Aquagea and would do so two years later during the [[ComStar War]]<ref>''Second Succession War'', pp. 41–42</ref>
