War of 3039[edit]
The 5th Ghost, along with the 6th Ghost, attacked the world of Biham after it was invaded by the 8th Crucis Lancers and Laurel's Legion. They launched a series of raids in company sized units across the world, and the 8th Lancers were unable to counter them. Finally the 5th and 6th Ghost regiments surrounded the 8th Lancers at Biham's capital city and drove them offworld.[2]
Clan Invasion[edit]
Posted to Nowhere in 3059, the 5th Ghost was able to create an intelligence network that reached deep into Clan Smoke Jaguar territory. The 5th focused their training on destroying any attacking Clan units instead of defending the world.[1]

Dominion War[edit]
After the 12th Dieron Regulars were crushed by a Clan Ghost Bear attack on Kiesen the Fifth stalled the Ghost Bear forces with guerrilla warfare tactics.[3]
Jihad[edit]
During the Jihad the Fifth Ghost was stationed on Gram near the Word of Blake Protectorate. The Blakists attacked Garm three times over the next years, inflicting casualties each time. The most damaging attack was the final one, where the Word used Pocket WarShips to conduct orbital bombardments. This attack cost the Fifth half a battalion and destroyed Garm's spaceport.[4]
Republic Era[edit]
The Fifth Ghost's standing at their station won them considerable respect from the DCMS, but this respect hasn't translated into a higher place on the supply rolls. The Fifth Ghost is rebuilding, and as of 3085 finds itself on Harrow's Sun. Several raids from the Federated Suns slowed the rebuilding process, as has the relative lack of yakuza gangs who could supply recruits.[5]
Dark Age[edit]
The Fifth Ghost took part in the Draconis Combine's invasion of the Federated Suns. They fought well on Robinson.[6] However later the Fifth would lose half their regiments when their DropShips were shot down by the Rochester planetary militia. This was due to the Fifth's aerospace decided to attack ground targets rather the assist the dropships as ordered. For this the CO had his aerospace regiment's CO publicly executed, letting the rest of his troops seek no such behavior in the future.[7]
In 3144, the Fifth was assigned to garrison the former Davion world of Franklin. The regiment spent a of number years fighting armed resistance forces who would elude them years until June 3147 when First Davion Guards reinforcements raided the planet for supplies and linked up with the resistance as part of Operation PERCEVAL. Heavy artillery fire from the First Guards Antlions pinned down the bulk of the Fifth Ghost until they unleashed their complement of Crickets, dashing through the AFFS lines towards the ponderous support ’Mechs. Though far too lightly armed to actually destroy the Antlions, the nimble Crickets pilots led by Tai-i Achara Adeyemi instead forced the Antlions to focuse on them rather than firing their artillery. This restored freedom of movement to the rest of the Fifth Ghost forces, though the Guards disengaged shortly afterwards.[8]
Officers[edit]

| Tai-sa | Wu Ts'ao | 3059 | |

| Tai-sa | Kyösti Rennoll | 3085[10] | |
| Tai-sa | Toshio Hayashi | 3144-3147[11][12] | |
Tactics[edit]
