Jihad
After assembling on Ko, Ryuken-yon travelled to Imbros III in an effort to retake the system. They were ambushed by a fleet of Word of Blake ships. The Blakists destroyed ten JumpShips and captured three others. The few survivors were captured and sent to prison camps on Dieron. With such staggering losses, the High Command decided not to rebuild the unit and reassigned the survivors to other Ryuken regiments.[3]
Officers
When they were formed in 3026, they were commanded by Chu-sa Chuichi Hokare.[4] Tai-sa Shodaru is the CO of these unit and is highly decorated with the Bushido Blade and The Warders of the Dragon.[5]
Tactics
The Ryuken-yon began their night fighting experience in the Battle of Misery.[6]
The unit prefers to fight at night. During such operations the forces attacks from 3 sides. The last open direction is a covered trap. Every opposing unit will be slaughtered by precise strikes from TAG guided missiles from missile carrier. Normally 12 Mechs defend this support unit.[5]
