History
Formation
Built from survivors of the destroyed Fourth Grenadiers and new troops. Has a reputation for being lucky.[1]
The Sixth was sent to Irian in March 2842 as part of a task force to relive the planet's defenders, who were under Lyran assault. There, they managed to lure the heavier and more experienced Seventh Donegal Guards into a trap.[1]
Anton's Revolt
The Sixth Orloff Grenadiers attacked Tiber in 3015. There they faced off against the Ducal Guard, loyal to Anton Marik. The Sixth and 8th Orloff Grenadiers combined their forces and destroyed the rebel unit. This victory didn't come easily however; The Orloff Grenadiers lost nearly half their strength.[2] Shortly thereafter, the Sixth and Eighth Grenadiers recaptured Sophie's World from the rebels, and then landed on Emris IV where they destroyed the 18th Marik Militia and the Fifth Ducal Guard.[3]
Fourth Succession War
During Operation Dagger, the Sixth defeated the mercenary 1st Knights of St. Cameron on the Lyran world of Poulsbo.[1]
3030's through 3050's
The Sixth Orloff Grenadiers didn't participate in the Andurien Secession or Operation Guerrero. Instead during this time they defended Cerillos (their baseworld) against attacks from the 42nd Avalon Hussars and troops from the Circinus Federation. In 3058 the Sixth was ordered to discourage further adventurism by the Federation. They landed on Circinus like the wrath of a vengeful diety, inflicting massive losses on the McIntyre House Guard before returning to their baseworld.[1]
Operation Bulldog
The Sixth didn't participate in Operation Bulldog. In the late 3060's the unit was targeted by many pirate raids and retaliatory strikes by the Circinus Federation. As of 3067, they hadn't taken any action to dissuade these attacks and were having difficulty responding to them.[4]
Jihad
In 3070, the Sixth was scheduled to assist the 1st Free Worlds Guards during their assault on Syrma. Unfortunately they never arrived, and the First was forced to withdraw.[5] During the Jihad the Sixth Orloff Grenadiers were shattered by mercenaries employed by the Word of Blake.[6]
Officers
In 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Hosan Chilung.[7]
As of 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Patricia Loge.[1]
Tactics
In any engagement the entire unit splits into three smaller combined arms units (each composed of a battalion of 'Mechs, mechanized infantry, and light armor) and uses this to maximize confusion.[1]
