History

Formation

Ronin Wars

War of 3039

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.[1]

Clan Invasion

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.[2]

Operation Bulldog

Dominion War

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]

Federated Suns Incursion

Jihad

After the Jihad the Ghost Regiments were officially disbanded.

Officers

Should Tai-sa Wu Ts'ao ever lose control, then Tai-sa Richard Schaffer stand ready to take the lead of the entire battle group.

In 3067 the 5th Ghost was commanded by Tai-sa Paul Koin.[4]

Tactics

The unit trains hard to improve their defensive skills, because a new invasion or a simply border raid is every time possible
