During the [[Star League era]] the '''Sixth Pesht Regulars''' shared a common structure with the other regiments of the Pesht Regulars, although the exact competition of each regiment and supporting formations would vary depending upon the role being performed. Lacking a border with a hostile major power, the Regulars usually suffered from lower holdings of combat expendables, including armor, because of the low chances of them seeing combat. However, as guardians of [[Luthien]], the capital of the [[Draconis Combine]], the Regulars were well-trained in performing drills, marches and parades, providing examples to encourage greater loyalty amongst the citizens of the Combine. The Regulars were evidently successful at this, as the [[Pesht Military District]] continued to generate far more recruits for the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] than it did the [[Star League Defense Force]].<ref name="FR2765DCMSp13"/>

The second and markedly less savory role performed by the Regulars was that of suppressing civilian rebellions; acting in support of other formations, particularly the [[Sword of Light]] [[brigade]], the Regulars took on responsibility for garrisoning and policing pacified areas, freeing other, higher-readiness formations for other actions. The Regulars would also be redeployed to other Military Districts on a temporary basis to cover garrison postings where other combat units had been deployed forward. In the closing years of the [[Star League]], the Sixth Pesht Regulars and her sister regiments were frequently understrength, as a result of higher-quality personnel being moved on to other district brigades and even Sword of Light regiments, with replacement personnel being supplied slowly by the Bureau of Substitution.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp13"/>

The unit was considered unremarkable, and because of this fact, the unit was transferred to [[Qandahar]] in its eponymous [[Pesht Regulars|Prefecture]]. It was replaced on its prior assignment on the border of the [[Clan Occupation Zones|Smoke Jaguar Occupation Zone]] by a [[Ghost Regiments|Ghost Regiment]]. The unit was used as to cover the underprotected [[Periphery]] border. During this time, the unit suffered a drop in morale because of the move and conflicts between the Regiment commander and Third Battalion's commanding officer.<ref name=FMDC71>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 71: "6th Pesht Regulars Unit Profile"</ref>
