History
The Thirteenth Donegal Guards were formed some time between 2750 and the start of the First Succession War.[1] [2]. The light-weight unit, considered both green and questionable in loyalty, did not survive the conflict. The unit was reformed for the Second Succession War. It participated in the 2832 attack on Megrez. The unit got a reputation for luck, which gave it its nickname.[3]
At the start of 3050, the unit was based on Meacham. [4]
During the Clan war it successfully raided the Clan Jade Falcon world of La Grave in 3053.[3]
FedCom Civil War
The fighting on Dalkeith smashed the Thirteenth, and it was merged with the Fifth Alliance Guards for the rest of the civil war. [5]
As of 1st August 3067, the Thirteenth was on Dalkeith and down to 15% strength.[5]
Jihad
The Thirteenth was dramatically understrength, and Word of Blake forces totally destroyed the unit in the Jihad.[6]
