History

The Amaris Dragoons where one of the premier forces of the Rim Worlds Republic


Units of the Amaris Dragoons

The 3rd Amaris Dragoons put down the revolt on Somerset, following the enactment of the Universal Loyalty Act.[1]
The 4th Amaris Dragoons engaged the Rim Republican Army's rebellion during the Reunification War.[2] It was the first unit to arrive in the Terran Hegemony after Richard Cameron asked Stefan Amaris's help in garrisoning the Hegemony.[3]. The unit employed a nuclear device to destroy the Black Watch Highlanders, a portion of the First Lord's bodyguard unit, during the takeover of Terra.[4][5]
In 2573, the control center of the 8th was located on Apollo, in the Efrimal Long prison.[6]
The 99th Dragoons were made famous for counter-insurgency tactics. The 99th would publicly announce their targets before attacking, tracking any people evacuating the target area. Before engaging the enemy, the Dragoons would first demolish the locations to which the evacuees fled.[8] The unit's paint scheme is a matte black.[9]
The 141st was noted for using nuclear weapons and in wiping out three quarters of Caph surface.[10]
The 832nd Amaris Dragoons was stationed on the Rim Worlds Republic capitol planet of Apollo during the Amaris Crisis. One of its officers, Major Phillip Drummond, defected to the SLDF, during its attack on the planet. [11]
