History
The Eighth Alshain Regulars were formed at the end of the Ronin War, alongside the creation of the Alshain Military District.[1]
Clan Invasion
The DCMS command was the garrison force on Thessalonika when Clan Ghost Bear attacked that world in the autumn of 3051. They lost the battle, but tied up Delta Galaxy for 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 12th.[2]
Avengers
Following the Truce of Tukayyid, the unit was renamed the 8th Alshain Avengers.[2] They were stationed on Pilkhua in early 3059.[3] In 3062, the unit participated in an unauthorized strike on Alshain, triggering the Combine-Ghost Bear War.
Officers
- As of 3050, the Eight's commanding officer was Tai-sa Tasha Geer.
- As of 3059, the Eight's commanding officer was Tai-sa Mikail Breshnov.
Tactics
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.[2]
