History

Formation


4th Succession War

During the war the Sixteenth engaged the Wolf's Dragoons on Glenmora.

The Sixteenth fought well during the Third and Fourth Succession Wars, but was relegated to garrison duty in 3033 after offending the Warlord of Galedon. During the Ronin Wars, the unit's commander threatened to side with the rebellious Warlord of Dieron unless his unit was given a better assignment. This action hurt the unit's reputation and priority listing for new equipment.[1]

Ronin Wars


War of 3039


Clan Invasion


Operation Bulldog


Dominion War


Jihad

Based on Senorbi during the Jihad the Sixteenth Galedon Regulars took heavy losses from Black Dragon Society sympathizers and yakuza forces. Between the terror attacks of the yakuza and the influence of the Black Dragons, the Sixteenth found more than half it's equipment and warriors destroyed. At the close of the Jihad they remained on Senorbi.[2]

Officers

In 3025 Tai-sa Francisco Bevier led the Sixteenth during the Fourth Succession War, but damaged the unit's reputation during the ronin wars. The current commander, Tai-sa William Tohiro, has had his hands full keeping morale up and salvaging the unit's reputation.[citation needed]

As of 3059 to 3067 the commanding officer is Tai-sa William Tohiro.[1][3]

As of 3085 the commanding officer is Tai-sa Ailill Coenen.[4]

Tactics

The Sixteenth relies on reconnaissance from its detachment of VTOL craft. This aids them in the urban combat that is their specialty, as VTOLs perform admirably in such terrain, while aerospace fighters do not fight as efficiently in it.[1]
