==History==
=== Star League Era ===
During the [[Star League era]] the '''Twenty-first Galedon Regulars''' shared a common structure with the other regiments of the Galedon Regulars, due to the threat posed by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. This common structure saw the Twenty-First assigned a swathe of conventional regiments for support - five armor regiments and five infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a reinforced [[aerospace fighter]] [[Wing (Formation)|wing]]. Second only to the [[Sword of Light]] regiments in priority, the various Galedon Regulars regiments had excellent levels of supplies, and a high level of access to new [[BattleMech]]s and equipment.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp12"/>

===Third Succession War===
The Twenty-first briefly participated in the [[Galtor III|Galtor]] campaign during [[3025]]. They were only on the world for two weeks<ref name=HTPG7>''Historical Turning Points: Galtor'', p. 7, "Galedon Regulars"</ref> and sustained heavy losses when they dropped into the base camp of the [[Lone Wolves]] mercenary unit.<ref name=galtor17>''The Galtor Campaign'', p. 17</ref> The 21st would rotate off world shortly after this so [[Warlord]] [[Syovo Yorioshi|Yoriyoshi]] could save face,<ref name=galtor19>''The Galtor Campaign'', p. 19</ref> and stationed again in [[Marlowe's Rift]].<ref name=TGCp54>''The Galtor Campaign'', p. 54 "21st Galedon Regulars"</ref>

===Fourth Succession War===
The Twenty-first was one of several regiments deployed to [[Misery]] to destroy [[Wolf's Dragoons]]. Like all the units involved they took heavy losses on that world. In three weeks of fighting they lost 40% of their force.<ref name=HTPM14>''Historical Turning Points: Misery'', p. 14</ref><ref>''Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)'', pp. 37-38</ref>

===Operation Bulldog===
Two battalions of the Twenty-first Galedon Regulars moved up to garrison [[New Samarkand]] when the [[Fifth Galedon Regulars]] were redeployed as part of [[Operation Bulldog]]. The remaining battalion stayed behind on [[Hachiman (planet)|Hachiman]] so the world wouldn't be garrisoned by only mercenary troops.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 108</ref>

===Jihad===
The Twenty-first were on [[Galedon V]], alongside a sister regiment, the [[Twelfth Galedon Regulars]], when the [[Clan Snow Raven|Snow Ravens]] launched their destructive bombardment of the planet in retaliation for what they considered to be DCMS attacks. The bombardment resulted in an [[Age of War]]-era chemical weapon stored in a secret [[ISF]] facility being dispersed into the population. After the Snow Raven bombardment in mid-June [[3069]], Galedon was placed under quarantine, and reports from the planet had both the Twelfth and Twenty-first actively enforcing martial law as evacuees tried to escape what became known as the [[Curse of Galedon]]. Both regiments either died during the period in which the curse was active, or during the extensive thermonuclear bombardment conducted by the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] to sterilize Galedon in February [[3070]].<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47, "The Jihad In Review"</ref><ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48, "The Jihad In Review"</ref><ref name="FR:DCMSp10">''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 10, "Galedon Regulars"</ref>

==Tactics==
The Twenty-first is best in open-field engagements where their superior mobility can be used to its best advantage.<ref name=HTPM9>''Historical Turning Points: Misery'', p. 9</ref> They try to avoid long battles, either pushing a full assault or a fighting retreat.
