The unit was from elements of the [[9th Sword of Light]], which was gifted to the Republic when that nation formed. The RAF High Command took a unique approach with the Ninth Sword of light troops: Unlike most of the forces that joined the Republic, the Ninth was split into individual company sized units. These three units were not immediately integrated into other Republic formations, but instead left intact to form the core of a special rapid response group. By 3085 however only the Amaterasu company remained intact. The other two companies were either integrated into a Republic unit or destroyed.<ref name=fm85-184>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 184</ref>

Template:InfoBoxStateUnit

The Amaterasu were formed by the Republic of the Sphere in 3081.

History

The unit was from elements of the 9th Sword of Light, which was gifted to the Republic when that nation formed. The RAF High Command took a unique approach with the Ninth Sword of light troops: Unlike most of the forces that joined the Republic, the Ninth was split into individual company sized units. These three units were not immediately integrated into other Republic formations, but instead left intact to form the core of a special rapid response group. By 3085 however only the Amaterasu company remained intact. The other two companies were either integrated into a Republic unit or destroyed.[1]

In 3085 the Amaterasu were stationed on Altair in Prefecture X of the Republic of the Sphere, where they served as a training force to sharpen the skills of the Triarii Protectors.[1][2]

In 3133, the Amaterasu are unusual due to being composed entirely of women.

Vega

In March 3133, a detachment of the Amaterasu under Tai-sa Ngaire McAllister was sent to attack Vega in an attempt to bring the world back under the banner of the Draconis Combine. Unfortunately, the Vega Republic Standing Guard put up an unexpectedly stiff resistance and forced the invaders into retreat.[3]

Tactics

The Amaterasu see themselves as honorable warriors who uphold the code of bushido. Therefore they do not attack retreating or crippled opponents, and they prefer one-on-one duels.[3]
