History[edit]

The Third St. Ives Sentinels was created in secret sometime before Operation CELESTIAL REWARD as one of the Hidden Lion regiments formed by Chancellor Daoshen Liao using stockpiled equipment.[1] This new Sentinels unit uses the Augmented Regiment formations commonly found in the CCAF by 3145.[2] They are a second-line regiment of the St. Ives Commonality.[3]

In 3145, the 3rd St. Ives Sentinels raided various Federated Suns planets on their way to their garrison post on Remshield. Their care in avoiding civilian infrastructure allowed them to raid virtually unopposed by the local militia.[1]

On 25 March 3146, the Third St. Ives Sentinels and 3rd Capellan Chargers invaded Cammal. They tricked the 5th Avalon Hussars LCT into a false sense of security by deploying only part of the Capellan Chargers and allowing themselves to be surrounded. Once fixed in place, the rest of the Capellans combat dropped on the Hussars and caused a rout. The Davion unit abandoned the planet by mid-April.[4]

The second wave started in the last week of April with the regiment attacking Lee by itself. While avoiding combat with the 1st Brockton Training Battalion, Sao-shao Jordanna Sung was killed. This ended any hesitation and resulted in over two-thirds of the Davion unit destroyed.[4]
