== History ==
 
As part of the Sian Dragoons, the '''Fifth Sian Dragoons''' were a part of the largest [[BattleMech]] [[brigade]] in the history of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] - both during the [[Age of War]], and then again in the closing decades of the [[Star League era]] as the [[CCAF]] began rapidly expanding and reactivating regiments - and a regiment that could trace its origins back to when the first ''[[WAM-B]]'' BattleMechs were issued to support the tanks of the [[Sian Lancers]].<ref name=FR2765CCAFp13/>
 
  
=== Early History ===

==History==
The Fifth Sian Dragoons were responsible for repelling the [[Free Worlds Guards]] raid on [[Shiro III]] in [[2529]]. This meshed well with their status as a free-floating defense regiment. They were stationed on [[Holloway]] in [[2765]].<ref name=FR2765CCAFp13/>

The unit was destroyed during the [[Second Succession War]].<ref name=2SWp96/>

As one of the units rebuilt as part of the Hidden Lion program, the Fifth Sian Dragoons were instrumental in misleading the [[RAF]] and [[AFFS]] regarding their strength. They took part in the second battle of [[Tikonov]], and forced the [[3rd Federated Suns Lancers]] to retreat from New Moscow by using a three day long artillery bombardment. They then used a group of [[ConstructionMech]]s and combat engineers to rapidly bridge the Ulan River. This bridge allowed a quick attack on New Moscow. They had a full battalion of artillery and ConstructionMechs assigned to them in the Dark Age. The ConstructionMechs were used to create combat fortifications during Operation CELESTIAL REWARD.<ref name=fm3145p36>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 36</ref> They were stationed on [[Yangtze]] in 3145.<ref name=fm3145p47/>

The Fifth landed on [[Keid]] in early December 3145. They found no Republic Armed Forces units on the world, only a planetary militia that had no affiliation with the Republic Standing Guard.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 75</ref> They remained on Keid, and in early 3150 were guarding a large amount of supplies for a push into the Republic of the Sphere. During the planning phase, the Fifth and multiple other CCAF units, suffered damage from sabotage. In the space of three weeks, five regiments were hit and left with damaged 'Mechs, vehicles, DropShips, and aerospace fighters in addition to destroyed ammunition depots.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 79</ref>
