History

Formation

Originally formed by Takashi Kurita as a secret bodyguard against potential betrayal by his son Theodore.[citation needed]

Clan Invasion

Battle of Luthien

The Dragon's Claws fought in the Battle of Luthien[1]. At the end of this conflict, the unit was renamed the Izanagi Warriors, and placed on the official DCMS roster.

Operation Bulldog

In 3059, the Warriors were deployed to take the Clan Nova Cat worlds of Teniente and Juazeiro under the command of Shin Yodama. They undertook simple token Trials of Possession for these worlds, essentially absorbing the Nova Cats into the new SLDF. They aggressively attacked the Clan Smoke Jaguar's occupied world of Outer Volta. After Bulldog was complete, they returned to Luthien to resume their protection of the Coordinator.[2]

Dominion War


Federated Suns Incursion


Jihad

Battle of Luthien

In December in 3067, forces loyal to the Black Dragon Society invaded Luthien. The coup devastated the Izanagi Warriors and its sister unit, the Otomo. The two units' survivors joined the 1st Genyosha in fighting the traitors, operating under the control of Sho-sho Sajori Mitsotisa. They performed as raiders, noted for their precision and later salvage operations. After the liberation of Luthien in December 3074, the unit was scheduled to be rebuilt around the survivors.[3]

After the Jihad ended, Hohiro Kurita found a new purpose for the Izanagi Warriors. By hand-selecting warriors who have shown unswerving loyalty to the Combine, the Coordinator is using the posting as a living award equivalent to the honor shown a Knight of New Samarkand. The rebuilding Izanagi Warriors were based on New Samarkand.[4]

Officers

Tactics

The Izanagi Warriors have no signature tactics. All its MechWarriors are expected to be adept at combat inside or outside of a 'Mech.
