History

Gamma Regiment and its sister unit, Delta, were formed some time around the turn of the 31st century by the reigning Duchess of Verde, Sarah Nelson, out of the salvage gathered by the wildly successful Alpha and Beta Regiments.[3]

Fourth Succession War

During the events of Operation RAT, Gamma Regiment joined with Delta Regiment and assisted the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in capturing several worlds from the Capellan Confederation. In Wave One, they secured Poznan by liberating the planet's majority of ethnic Hispanic citizens from the oppressive rule of the elite minority, who were mostly of Chinese extraction. By convincing the citizens to take up arms, they created a planetary militia that was willing to secure the planet and eager to join the fold of the Federated Suns when the time came. In Wave Two, Gamma Regiment's forces secured Buchlau, then proceeded to capture Kansu and Shipka in Waves Three and Four. They secured a critical cache of JumpShip parts during these campaigns. Thanks to their string of successes, one of Gamma's battalions was detached to fight alongside other AFFS units on Zaurak, while the other two joined with Delta Regiment to attack the planet of Wei, held by the formidable Sung's Cuirassiers.
