History
Command of the Fourth Dieron Regulars
The CO of the Second Battalion of the Murchison Heavy Armor, the Armor Regiment of the Fourth Dieron Regulars, Nixon was promoted to lead the Fourth as a whole following the death of its former commander during combat with the Third Federated Suns Armored Cavalry in the early 3140s. This appointment by Tai-shu Kambei Okamoto, caused some tension within the Fourth, since Nixon was not a MechWarrior.[2]
By December 3145, Nixon and the Fourth Dieron Regulars, was based on Small World as of 3145.[1]
Death
During Operation ERUPTIO in 3149, when Addicks was raided by the Republic of the Sphere, Tai-sa Nixon was killed during a head hunter strike by Knight John Schneider and the XI Hastati Sentinels.[3][4]
Notes
There is a conflict in the sources regarding the world on which Gerald Nixon died. In Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 19, the death is noted as occurring during the Battle of Dieron, whereas in Shattered Fortress it is noted as having happened on Addicks. In this article, as Shattered Fortress provides a fuller account, Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 19 has been treated as being in error.[3][4]
