History

Operation Bulldog

  • Asgard - when Star League forces, which included the Third Benjamin Regulars and the Davion Heavy Guards, landed they faced the Fourth Jaguar Dragoons as well as the Epsilon Galaxy Command Keshik. In the resulting campaign the Fourth Jaguar Dragoons were driven back by the DCMS forces, leading to the Epsilon Galaxy Command Keshik retreating into the path of a company from the Davion Heavy Guards.[1] The large Elemental contingent within the Command Keshik led to them quickly gaining the advantage over the Davion Heavy Guards, but the tables turned when a company from the Second Battalion of the Third Benjamin Regulars plunged into the battle. The Benjamin Regulars forces included two Komodo-class BattleMechs that cut a swathe through the Elemental force, turning the tide of battle and wiping out the Keshik.[1] [2] [3]
