History
Third Succession War
In 3025 the unit was stationed on Misery.[3]
Dark Age
After the Jihad and Dark Age found the rebuilt Gamma Regiment being the first to return to mercenary contract work.[4]
On 3150, the regiment was stationed on planet Parma. It had a reputation of members undisciplined, which allowed some kuritans to find or forge excuses to arrests about ten of these. The new Dragoons liaison officer, Tai-Sa Reiko Akamine refused to release them to Dragoons' custody, to put pressure on the unit.[5] The ongoing tensions and the arrival of a Clan Wolf representative, Star Captain Marotta Kerensky trying to recruit the Dragoons for fight in Terra caused a rift inside the Dragoons. The Battle of Parma (3150) was a real Dragoons' civil war, led by Nicholas Crews, Gamma's leader, with some Dragoons of both sides killed. At the end of the battle, a compromise made all survivors to agree to terminate the contract with the Combine and join Clan Wolf.[6]
Second Disbandment
Gamma fought, along most of the Dragoons, at the Battle of Terra, sustaining heavy losses: the Black Cats battalion had a single survivor... and the new Dragoons leader, Colonel Henry Kincaid was forced to deactivate it, though survivors and equipment of it were used to rebuild other units. The Black Cats' DropShips were used by the reborn Zeta Battalion.[7]
