History[edit]

Star League[edit]

During the Star League era the Sixth Galedon Regulars shared a common structure with the other regiments of the Galedon Regulars, due to the threat posed by the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns. This common structure saw the Sixth assigned a group of conventional regiments for support - five armor regiments and five infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a reinforced aerospace fighter wing. Second only to the Sword of Light regiments in priority, the various Galedon Regular regiments had excellent levels of supplies, and a high level of access to new BattleMechs and equipment.[1]

Tactics[edit]

Star League Era[edit]

Due to the high number of Sun Zhang Military Academy and Galedon Military Academy recruits within the Galedon Regulars, the Regulars often displayed fanatical loyalty and courage. However, the elitism displayed by these same recruits led to poor coordination between the Regulars and the attached convention forces, who were often used as cannon fodder.[1]

Composition History[edit]

Sixth Galedon Regulars (Regiment/Elite/Reliable)[1]

- At this point in time the Sixth was based on Galedon.[1]

2786 - 2821[edit]

- At this point in time the Sixth was a heavy-weight regiment stationed on Galedon V and was operating at full strength.[4]In 2821 the unit was stationed on Marduk and had been reduced to just below half-strength.[4]

- At this point in time the Sixth was a heavy-weight regiment stationed on Marduk and had rebuilt to almost full strength.[2]

Notes[edit]

Based on their absence from deployment tables in House Kurita (The Draconis Combine), the Sixth were presumably destroyed during the Third Succession War.[2][3]
