History[edit]

The Twelve Vegan Rangers' Alpha Regiment traces its history back to the original unit that helped Duke Lawrence Nelson reclaim his homeworld. They have fought in some of the most important campaigns of the Succession Wars.

Third Succession War[edit]

At the end of the Third Succession War they fought on Galtor III as the main force of the AFFS forces defending the planet.[1] The unit suffered 45% casualties during the operation,[2] and after the campaign It was sent to Verde for rest and refit.[3]

Fourth Succession War[edit]

During the Fourth Succession War the Twelfth assisted the Davion Light Guards during their assault on St. Andre.[1]

War of 3039[edit]


Clan Invasion[edit]


FedCom Civil War[edit]

During the FedCom Civil War Alpha Regiment inflicted heavy casualties on the 3rd FedCom RCT before jumping to Algol to assist the other Vegan Ranger regiments. They destroyed the defending Tikonov Republican Guards on that world, and then redeployed to Addicks to force the 10th Ghost and 12th Ghost off-world.[1]

Jihad[edit]


Officers[edit]

Traditionally the commander of Alpha Regiment commands the entire 12th Vegan Rangers brigade.

Rank Name Command
Commanding Officers of Alpha Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)
Duke Lawrence Helmund Nelson 2829
General Margrave Sheridan Douglass 3024 - 3048[4][5]
General Tom Stancel 3048 - 3067[5][1]
General Miller al-Nahib 3085 - 3116
General Della al-Nahib 3116 - 3145

Tactics[edit]

Alpha Regiment specializes in urban assault and defense, but are also adept all-rounders as befits their elite status. The Rangers of Alpha take precautions to minimize collateral damage and civilian casualties when fighting in cities, choosing to fight their engagements in industrial zones, spaceports, or empty highways when possible. During the FedCom Civil War, they adapted to the technique of using rapid hot drops to surprise and flank their enemies.[1]

Support[edit]

The techs can repair all damage that can occur.
