History
The 12th Vegan Rangers' Gamma Regiment and its sister unit, Delta, were formed sometime around the turn of the 31st century by the reigning Duchess of Verde, Sarah Nelson, out of the salvage gathered by the wildly successful Alpha and Beta Regiments.[3]
Fourth Succession War
During the events of Operation RAT, Gamma Regiment, led by Colonel Vella Delacroix, joined with Delta Regiment and assisted the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in capturing several worlds from the Capellan Confederation. In Wave One, they secured Poznan by liberating the planet's majority of ethnic Hispanic citizens from the oppressive rule of the elite minority, who were mostly of Chinese extraction. By convincing the citizens to take up arms, Colonel Delacroix created a planetary militia that was willing to secure the planet and eager to join the fold of the Federated Suns when the time came. In Wave Two, Gamma Regiment's forces easily secured Buchlau from the hands of the meager planetary militia, then proceeded to capture [[[Shipka]] in Wave Four. To their great fortune, they secured a valuable cache of JumpShip parts that was hidden on that world. As their string of proven successes grew, AFFS command sought to use their talents in different places. In Wave Five, one of Gamma's battalions was detached to fight alongside other AFFS units on Zaurak, while the other two joined with Delta Regiment to attack the planet of Wei, held by the formidable Sung's Cuirassiers.[4]
AFFS command made no effort to conceal the difficulty of the invasion of Wei, or the likelihood that the enemy would resort to desperate measures in their defense when they offered the job to the Rangers. Colonel Mitch Nelson, leading the detachment of Rangers slated for Wei, was undeterred, taking the job for triple the pay and the promise that any Rangers affected by any potential chemical or biological weapons encountered would receive the best medical care the Federated Suns had to offer.
