The Eighth Alshain Regulars were formed at the end of the Ronin War, alongside the creation of the Alshain Military District.[5]

History[edit]

War of 3039[edit]

In July 3039 the Eighth Alshain Regulars and the Eleventh Legion of Vega landed on Alrakis, a system that had been taken by the LCAF earlier in the year. They timed their assault to a local festival that had the local LCAF troops drunk, and Draconis Combine sympathizers in the militia disrupted the LCAF's response. This allowed the DCMS troops to land unopposed.[6] They fought against the Twenty-third Arcturan Guards, who left the world on August 13.[7]

Clan Invasion[edit]

As of 3050, the Regulars were stationed on Buckminster.[8] By the autumn of 3051, the unit had been moved to garrison Thessalonika, in order to meet the threat of the Clan Invasion. They were stationed there when Clan Ghost Bear attacked, that same season. They lost the battle, but tied up Delta Galaxy for over a week with the help of the Twelfth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre. Roughly two-thirds of the unit was able to get off Thessalonika, along with some elements from the Twelfth.[1]

Operation Bulldog[edit]

Following the Truce of Tukayyid, the unit was the only remaining regiment of the Alshain Regulars; they were renamed the Eighth Alshain Avengers.[1] They were stationed on Pilkhua in early 3059.[9]

The unit was a part of a task force which liberated Yamarovka. The allied regiments (First Davion Guards and Second Kell Hounds) fought alongside the 8th against the Jaguar's Eleventh Garrison Cluster.

Dominion War[edit]

In 3062, the unit participated in an unauthorized strike on Alshain, triggering the Combine-Ghost Bear War. Survivors of the conflict with the Ghost Bears were executed, and the unit was removed from the DCMS rosters.[2] In 3085, the unit's history was used as a warning to dissuade commanders from starting fights on the Combine's border with the Ghost Bear Dominion.[10][11]

Officers[edit]

Tai-sa Mikail Breshnov 3058 - 3062 Assumed[1]

Tactics[edit]

The Eighth learned quickly that the Clans could be hurt through protracted battles. Since Thessalonika, they spent their time honing their tactics to exploit this weakness.[1]

They used their air forces for scouting missions and every convoy was escorted for self-defense.
