This signaled to then commanding officer ''Tai-sa'' Yanyouan that they were being called to front lines to face the Clans. The unit was sent to [[Cyrenaica]] where they meet forces from [[Clan Nova Cat]] in February of [[3052]]. The battle was lost at the start of engagement with the Nova Cat forces. The Nova Cats didn't provide a ''batchall'' or follow ''zellbrigen'', which confused the Shin Legion commanders. ''Tai-sa'' Yanyouan ordered his troops to engage in a fighting withdrawal. In their fighting retreat from the planet, the Legion's infantry was able to destroy [[Trinary]] full of Nova Cat [[OmniMech]]s. They left the world when the Combine assigned two armored regiments to the planet.<ref>''Invading Clans (sourcebook)'', p. 121</ref>

Unit Description

The lead Regiment of the Shin Legion, which was originally a house unit in service to the Capellan Confederation.

Motto

Welcome to interesting times.

Insigna

Original Insigna

The Unit's original Insigna had consisted of a Bhudda on a Golden Disk.

Post 3061 Insigna

Insigna of Buddha on Red Disk, shunting Gold Disk so not suggest that it has unit the Chancellor's favor.[1]

History

Formation

In Service of Draconis Combine

The Shin Legion, along with its sister units had fled from the Confederation for the Draconis Combine after the Fourth Succession War, fearing Chancellor Romano Liao's purges. This became a self-fulfilling prophecy when Romano Liao ordered the unit destroyed. The Third Shin Legion was destroyed, the Second got away clear, and the First only survived the exodus because their AeroSpace wing sacrificed themselves to delay the Holdfast Guards and Maskirovka-hired mercenaries that were attacking them.[2]

Seen as a foreign unit in the Draconis Combine, the 1st Legion worked hard for its new home. They frequently demonstrated a near-suicidal determination to complete their orders.

Ronin Wars

During the Ronin Wars the Kanrei sent the First Shin Legion to Kandis, which was under attack by mercenary units in the employ of the Duke of Tamar. There the First Shin Legion faced off against the Dragonslayers and Meriadoc's Marauders. Within four hours the Dragonslayers had surrendered. The Marauders refused to surrender, and the First and 2nd Shin Legion destroyed them. After that, the Shin Legions relocated to Skandia until the Draconis Combine recalled them.[3]

Clan Invasion

In late 3051 during the Clan Invasion, the unit had received Star League era BattleMechs. This signaled to then commanding officer Tai-sa Yanyouan that they were being called to front lines to face the Clans. The unit was sent to Cyrenaica where they meet forces from Clan Nova Cat in February of 3052. The battle was lost at the start of engagement with the Nova Cat forces. The Nova Cats didn't provide a batchall or follow zellbrigen, which confused the Shin Legion commanders. Tai-sa Yanyouan ordered his troops to engage in a fighting withdrawal. In their fighting retreat from the planet, the Legion's infantry was able to destroy Trinary full of Nova Cat OmniMechs. They left the world when the Combine assigned two armored regiments to the planet.[4]

During Operation Bulldog the First Shin Legion faced the Clans on Cyrenaica and Caripare in the first wave. They spent the rest of the offensive as Cyrenaica's garrison.[5]

Rebuilding

The Draconis Combine High Command called the unit to Luthien where they discovered that their sister unit, the 2nd Shin Legion had been destroyed in battle for the planet. The Legion absorbed few survivors from the the unit.

The unit drafted new personnel to the unit over course of its rebuilding period. The unit's new commander, Tai-sa Nguyen, order screening of new canditates for the Legion. This was effort to preserve the unit's cultural integrity.

By 3057, Coordinator Theodore Kurita gifted the unit with two companies of the Combine's latest OmniMechs and other advanced equipment. This left the unit indebted to their host nation[6].

However, over the years despite their dedication. The unit has not been granted permission by the Coordinator to allow them to add the emblem of Draconis Combine on their units. This request sent regularly to him up to 3061.

The Tai-sa Nguyen then received invitation from the Chancellor Sun Tzu Liao. Which invited the Legion to return to the Confederation[1]. With chance to return from exile, Nguyen accepted with the endorsement of rest of the Legion. Prior to returning to Confederation, the unit gifted the old 2nd Shin Legion's DropShips to the Combine as pay its debt to the Combine for its reconstruction.

Returning to the Service of the Capellan Confederation

Upon accepting an invitation from Sun-Tzu Liao the First returned to Capellan service in 3061, renaming themselves simply as the Shin Legion. The unit when it arrived in the Confederation, the unit traded lance of its Kurita OmniMechs for lance of Men Shen Medium OmniMechs.

A flight from the 24th Luthien Light Wing defected with the Legion to the Confederation, becoming the Red Sun Flight. However, its defection to the Legion caused its loyalty rating to go down Questionable. [1] By 3067 the unit had gained 2nd flight of Aerospace Fighters and mixed battalion of Battle Armor attached to its parent command.[7]
