History[edit]

Star League[edit]

In 2765, the Nineteenth Rasalhague Regulars were stationed on Kiruna and was considered a "Medium" regiment. They remained on Kiruna until the First Succession War.[1][2]

Succession Wars[edit]

First Succession War[edit]

The Nineteenth Rasalhague Regulars participated in the fighting along the Lyran Commonwealth border. They survived the horrors of the First Succession War and returned to their post on Kiruna at the end of the war. They had suffered 61% losses during the fighting.[3]

Second Succession War[edit]

The Nineteenth Rasalhague Regulars also participated in the fighting of the Second Succession War. One notable action was the attack on Harvest in June 2841. The defending Lyran troops, Thirty-first York Regulars, held positions away from the cities and important agricultural industries. These positions protected the planet's infrastructure, but left the defenders scattered. The Nineteenth Rasalhague Regulars attack proved so successful, that the unit's commander called for reinforcements to turn the raid into planetary conquest. With the arrival of the Fifth Arkab Legion and the Third Proserpina Hussars, Harvest fell to the Combine.[4]

At sometime during the conflict, the Nineteenth Rasalhague Regulars were destroyed.[5]
