Jihad
Ryuken-roku garrisoned Ningxia the capital world of Ningxia Prefecture, for two years. The Black Dragon Society directed the remains of the 2nd Night Stalkers regiment, a unit sympathetic to the Black Dragon cause, to the world. Though they were a veteran unit, the Night Stalkers only lasted three months against Ryuken-roku. Shortly after this, Ryuken-roku was reassigned to New Samarkand to garrison the world and protect the Coordinator. The Coordinator loaned them to the Coalition for Operation SCOUR, where Ryuken-roku participated in the liberation of Genoa and discovered the Word of Blake bait and switch on Northwind.[2]
In mid-February 3078 Ryuken-roku were fighting alongside Devlin Stone on Terra Firma, only to discover that the capital city was a maze of booby-trapped buildings; mercenary forces were brought in to help the Ryuken-roku clear the city block by block, but the fierce campaign against the Blakists and the Terra Firma Protectorate Militia forces saw the city effectively razed.[3] On New Home, Ryuken-roku was the key in destroying the 47th Shadow Division, but they lost most of their equipment and warriors.[4] Survivors and equipment were transferred to rebuild other Ryuken units, but the High Command has promised to rebuild the unit as soon as the supply situation allows.[2]
The Dark Age
After the end of the Jihad the survivors of the Ryuken-roku were transferred back from the Ryuken-ni and Ryuken-san regiments to became the core of the regiment as it rebuilt using replacement personnel - although the personnel available were raw recruits. Despite the lack of experienced replacements, the rebuilding Ryuken-roku continued to train hard, and had rebuilt to a strength of nearly two battalions by 3085.[5]
In the 3140s elements of Ryuken-roku raided Rowe, facing elements of the 2nd New Ivaarsen Chasseurs.[6]
