===Ronin Wars===
 +
During the [[Ronin Wars]] the [[3rd 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.

===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 Wars, 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.

History

Formation

The unit was raised privately by Colonel Lloyd McGavin from retired DCMS MechWarriors.[1]

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.[2] Some new Chu-is would be assigned to the Night Stalkers as a sort of "finishing school" where they would benefit from the wisdom of the older officers.

3rd Succession War

In 3025 the unit was stationed on Matamoras.[3]

4th Succession War


Ronin Wars

During the Ronin Wars the 3rd Drakøns were assigned to attack Orestes, Warlord Vasily Cherenkoff's rally point for Johiro's Regiment, the Twenty-second Rasalhague Regulars, and the 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 units 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


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 Wars, 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 Jaguars Nineteenth Striker Cluster forces that attacked the Combine world of Matamoras.[4][5] The Night Stalkers and 1st Free Worlds Guards pinned the Jaguars in place while Ryuken-yon dropped directly on the Jaguar positions.[6]

Dominion War

The Second held the world of Darius during the Dominion War.[7]

Federated Suns Incursion


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.[8]
