History

The Twelfth Donegal Guards were stationed on Venaria in 2765.[1]


During the Fourth Succession War the Twelfth landed on Stanzach. They captured the world, but during the Draconis Combine counterattack they were hard pressed by the 9th Pesht Regulars and 13th Rasalhague Regulars. The 8th Donegal Guards reinforced the Twelfth, which kept Stanzach in Lyran hands. Shortly thereafter, the Twelfth and Eighth were reinforced by the First Tyr Regiment.[2] The Twelfth continued to fight alongside the Tyr and Eighth Guards regiments against the DCMS forces for several months, and eventually drove the Combine forces off-world.[3]

The Twelfth were a BattleMech unit in the LCAF. After his graduation from the Nagelring, Victor Steiner-Davion was assigned to the Twelfth.[4] The unit was destroyed in 3050 on Trell I by Clan Jade Falcon.[5]

Officers

The Twelfth Donegal Guards were commanded by Colonel Tyron Winters in 2765. He had been in command for two years, and had a poor working relationship with the soldiers under his command.[1]

In 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Steven Zaks.[6]

The acting commander in 3050 was Leftenant General Jeremy Hawksworth.[7][5]
