==Unit Description==
As part of the Sian Dragoons, the '''Sixth 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 '''Sixth Sian Dragoons''' was a BattleMech exclusive [[Regiment]] serving the [[Capellan Confederation]] during [[Age of War]] and later reactivated during the late [[Star League era]].
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
In [[twenty-sixth century]], the regiment was part of a floating defense unit, which was safeguarding the Confederation's border with the [[Free Worlds League]] with the [[Fifth Sian Dragoons]]. As part of the floating defense unit, one of its most notable actions was in [[2529]], where the Sixth blunted the attack on [[Shiro III]] by elements of the [[Free Worlds Guards]]. During its time on the border, the Sixth repulsed no less than six raids by elements of the [[Fusiliers of Oriente]] on [[Grand Base]], where the unit's nickname "Grand Base Grenadiers" stems from. The regiment was demobilized with formation of the [[Star League]] in [[2570]], but later reactivated with repeal of the [[Council Edict 2650]] in the [[twenty-eighth century]].<ref name=FR2765CCAFp13/>
