[[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=== 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"/> ===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.
