[[Coordinator]] [[Takiro Kurita]] reorganized the brigade into five reinforced [[regiment]]s, reinventing them as the "soul of the [[DCMS]]". It is unclear if the '''Sixth Sword of Light''' was still an active regiment after the [[Age of War]] and prior to Takiro's reforms, but the Sixth was an inactive command throughout the remainder of the Star League era.<ref name="FR2765:DCMSp8">''Field Report 2765: DCMS'', p. 8, "Sword of Light"</ref> − ===First Succession War===+ [[Coordinator]] [[Minoru Kurita (Coordinator)|Minoru Kurita]] was personally leading the '''Sixth''' to in an attempt to secure [[Kentares IV]] at the time of his assassination. This triggered what would later become known as the [[Kentares Massacre]]. − The Sixth Sword of Light was reactivated as a medium-weight, elite and fanatical regiment during the [[First Succession War]].<ref name="FSWp137">''First Succession War'', p. 137, "Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery (DCMS)"</ref> During the First Succession War, Coordinator [[Minoru Kurita (28th c.)|Minoru Kurita]] personally led the Sixth in an offensive to take [[Kentares IV]] from elements of the [[7th Crucis Lancers|Seventh Crucis Lancers]]. During the attack Minoru was assassinated by a Lancers sniper, the trigger event for what would later become known as the [[Kentares Massacre]]. − By the end of the First Succession War the Sixth had been disbanded.<ref name="FSWp137"/>+ ==Officers== − − ===Third Succession War=== − ====Operation FREEDOM==== − The Lyran [[Operation FREEDOM]] began in February [[2913]] and initially went well, as DCMS commanders were shocked the supposedly inferior Lyran soldiers could launch such an offensive. Personally commanding the [[3rd Royal Guards|Third Royal Guards]], [[Eric Steiner]] led the attack on the planet [[Freedom]], outmaneuvering the Sixth Sword of Light and trapping two battalions of the regiment in a valley facing [[artillery]] and [[aerospace fighter|air support]] fire. After wearing the stunned Kuritans down, Eric personally led his [[BattleMech]] forces into the valley, completely destroying the two Sixth Sword of Light Battalions<ref name=HSLC71>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'' p. 71</ref>. − ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable" − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 6th Sword of Light''' − |- − | ''[[Tai-sa]]''||[[Evan Watanabe]]||[[2796]]<ref name=SoLaD>''Swords of Light and Darkness''</ref> − |- − |} ==Tactics== ==Tactics== − Unknown. − − ==Composition History== − ===2796=== − '''Sixth Sword of Light'''<ref name=SoLaD/> − *2nd Battalion − *3rd Battalion<ref name=SoLaD/> − **Beta Company<ref name=SoLaD/> − **Gamma Company<ref name=SoLaD/> − − '''Seventeenth Pesht Infantry'''<ref name=SoLaD/> − ===2786=== − '''6th Sword of Light ''' (Regiment/Elite/Fanatical) <ref name= FSSp137 >''First Succession War'', p. 137</ref> − : Note: In 2821 the medium-weight command was disbanded <ref name= FSSp137/> − <div class="gamerules"> − ==Rules== + ==Composition== − === First Succession War === − * Between [[2786]] and [[2807]], the composition of randomly-generated lances from the Sixth Sword of Light are determined using a single roll on the Random Unit Assignment Tables per lance, with all of the lance 'Mechs being the resulting type.
