History[edit]

The Lone Star Regiment was formed in 2825 on the planet Somerset from former Star League Defense Force and Rim Worlds military personnel, as well as surviving units from a Lyran Commonwealth attack on the Draconis Combine.

In 2830 the unit was stationed on Chaville with an operational readiness of 40 percent and under DCMS contract, and in 2864 and still under DCMS contract, the unit was stationed on Deneb Algedi with an operational readiness of 28 percent.[1]

In 3025 the unit was stationed on Volders.[2]

After 200 years of service the Lone Star Regiment ended their service to the Draconis Combine in response to the Coordinator's "Death to Mercenaries" order. For the next 20 years the regiment clashed with raiders from the Capellan Confederation while in the employ of the Federated Suns.[3]

Starting in 3050 the Lone Star Regiment was employed by the Taurian Defense Force. In 3067 they were working on Epsilon Eridani when a lostech prospector found a crashed SLDF DropShip on the planet, sparking a race to the treasure. Around 20/21 May of that year, an accidental weapons discharge quickly escalated the tense situation into a shooting war between the Lone Star Regiment and another mercenary unit on planet, the Redfield Renegades.[4][5]

In 3067 distrust amongst the unit regarding the existing commanding officer resulted in him being replaced with the son of a previous unit commander. Acting in the employ of the Word of Blake, the Lone Star Regiment supported operations on Epsilon Eridani.[6] While battling another mercenary unit on Epsilon Eridani, Redfield's Renegades, the Lone Star Regiment and the Renegades made a significant discovery; the fighting near the Shamus Mountains had unearthed an old Star League Defense Force depot hidden within the mountains. Still intact within the Depot was a functioning Colossus-class DropShip in pristine condition. Both mercenary units immediately laid claim to the DropShip, and with neither willing to compromise a grueling combat was initiated that saw both units taking heavy casualties. Ultimately, the Lone Star Regiment were the victors and recovered both the DropShip and the battlefield salvage as prizes.[7][5]

Fresh with equipment upgrades and other assets from their contract with the Word of Blake, the regiment then went on to assist the Taurians in their attempt to regain control of the Pleiades Cluster.[6]

On 21 July 3072 while still deployed in the Pleiades Cluster the Lone Star Regiment was shattered by Hansen's Roughriders.[8][9]
