History[edit]
Star League Era[edit]
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 group of conventional regiments for support - five armor regiments and five infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a reinforced aerospace fighter 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 BattleMechs and equipment.[1]
Third Succession War[edit]
The Twenty-first briefly participated in the Galtor campaign during 3025. They were only on the world for two weeks[4] and sustained heavy losses when they dropped into the base camp of the Lone Wolves mercenary unit.[5] The 21st would rotate off world shortly after this so Warlord Yoriyoshi could save face,[6] and stationed again in Marlowe's Rift.[7]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
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.[8][9]

Operation Bulldog[edit]
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 so the world wouldn't be garrisoned by only mercenary troops.[10]

Jihad[edit]
The Twenty-first were on Galedon V, alongside a sister regiment, the Twelfth Galedon Regulars, when the 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.[2][3][11]
Officers[edit]

Tactics[edit]
The Twenty-first is best in open-field engagements where their superior mobility can be used to its best advantage.[13] They try to avoid long battles, either pushing a full assault or a fighting retreat.
