The Ninth Sword of Light was formed to replace the destroyed Second Sword of Light BattleMech regiment.
History
Once the pride of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery, the Second Sword of Light's support for the Black Dragon Society staged coup on Luthien in 3074 fragmented the regiment between Black Dragon and Loyalist troops. By the end of the fighting on Luthien in early 3075, over 90% of the Second has been destroyed, with only a handful of Loyalist troops left and all traitorous survivors executed.
Rather than rebuild the dishonored Second, Coordinator Hohiro Kurita took the unprecedented move of permanently striking the Second from the rosters of the DCMS, forming in its place the Ninth Sword of Light around its loyal survivors. Due to the ongoing pressure of the Jihad preventing it being raised as a fully functional combat ready unit, by 3076 the Ninth had been given the more ceremonial role of serving as the Coordinator's honor guard during his travels across the fractured Draconis Combine. [1]
After the conclusion of the Jihad, the Ninth was given as a gift by Hohiro Kurita to The Republic of the Sphere. Elements of this unit were re-organized into the elite Amaterasu.
