===Formation===
 
The unit was raised privately by Colonel Lloyd McGavin from retired [[DCMS]] [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]].<ref>''MechWarrior, First Edition'', p. 123: "Military Forces"</ref>
 
 
The unit was stationed on world of [[Matamoras]] in [[3050]]. Like its sister regiment the '''Second Night Stalkers''' only allowed retired MechWarriors at the company level or higher.<ref>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 38</ref> Some new ''[[Chu-i]]''s would be assigned to the Night Stalkers as a sort of "finishing school" where they would benefit from the wisdom of the older officers.
 
 
===Third Succession War===
 
In [[3025]] the unit was stationed on [[Matamoras]].<ref name=HKDCp134/>
 
 
===Fourth Succession War===
 
{{Sectionstub}}
 
 
===Ronin War===
 
During the [[Ronin War]] the [[Third Drakøns]] were assigned to attack [[Orestes]], [[Warlord]] [[Vasily Cherenkoff]]'s rally point for '''Johiro's Regiment''', the [[22nd Rasalhague Regulars|Twenty-second Rasalhague Regulars]], and the [[1st Altenmarkt Militia|Altenmarkt Militia]] to launch attempts to reclaim breakaway worlds. The Third arrived and tied all three regiments up, aided by the [[Legion of the Rising Sun]] and the [[Dismal Disinherited]] [[mercenary unit]]s on loan from the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].
 
 
With mercenaries attacking the Rasalhague Regulars and Night Stalkers, the Drakøns rolled over the Altenmarkt militia and captured vital supplies, before gaining air superiority over the planet. Despite protests from the [[LCAF]] military advisers assigned to the Third, after it became apparent to ''[[Överste]]'' Jorges Ulbrecht that Johiro's Regiment was attempting to protect the largely Combine citizens of Kiertenbach, the ''Överste'' made contact with ''[[Tai-sa]]'' Johiro and struck a deal to help evacuate the citizenry if the regiment would stand down. After watching for any treachery, the Night Stalkers stood down and surrendered to Republic forces in mid-August.
 
 
===War of 3039===
 
{{Sectionstub}}
 
 
===Clan Invasion===
 
Since the Night Stalkers regiments refused to let themselves be used as cannon fodder, they were assigned to difficult tasks. Where the First Night Stalkers were wiped out during the Ronin War, the Second was shamed and sent to Matamoras as a punishment. This system quickly became vitally important during the [[Clan Invasion]]. The Night Stalkers used their years of experience to keep the attacking Clans off balance.
 
 
===Operation Bulldog===
 
During [[Operation Bulldog]], the Second Night Stalkers defeated [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]s [[19th Striker (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Nineteenth Striker Cluster]] forces that attacked the Combine world of [[Matamoras]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 113</ref><ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 10</ref> The Night Stalkers and [[1st Free Worlds Guards]] pinned the Jaguars in place while ''[[Ryuken-yon]]'' dropped directly on the Jaguar positions.<ref>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 138</ref>
 
 
===Dominion War===
 
The Second held the world of [[Darius]] during the Dominion War.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 113</ref>
 
 
===Federated Suns Incursion===
 
{{Sectionstub}}
 
  
===Jihad===
 
The Second was decimated by a Word of Blake assault on [[Cebalrai]].  The survivors sided with a Black Dragon society uprising on [[Ningxia]], and were wiped out by the ''[[Ryuken-roku]]''.<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 18</ref>
