He later ordered that the '''Ryuken''' were to be split into several companies and each was to expand to regimental size. The '''Ryuken-san''' was one of the units formed. ==History== ===Formation=== A notoriously tight-lipped unit, the '''Ryuken-san''' rarely commented one way or the other about the acceptability of a military mission, nor did they communicate reliably with the upper chain of command (suggested as a result of their experiences on [[Misery]]). The unit sought to perform the mission exactly as directed, with no attempts at casual interpretation of the orders nor a supporting deportment that implied a responsibility towards allied units, if not so directed. This attitude was apparently incorporated at the indoctrination phase for newer members, and documented in one well-known incident when the unit failed to report an enemy's apparent lack of expected numbers, resulting in a coordinated retreat by the regiment, and heavy casualties for their fellow Draconian unit.<ref name=FMDC128>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 128: "Ryuken-san Unit Profile"</ref> ===Fourth Succession War=== {{Sectionstub}} ===War of 3039=== The Ryuken-san started the War of 3039 on [[Dieron]] with ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Noritake Kansa]] as the commanding officer.<ref name="3039DT">''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 139: "Deployment Table</ref><ref name=H3039-61C>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 61–62: "Caph (June)"</ref> [[Michi Noketsuna]], [[Warlord]] of the [[Dieron Military District]], ordered the Ryuken-san and [[Ryuken-ni]] to raid the [[Terran Corridor]] worlds of [[New Earth]], [[Procyon]], [[Caph]], and [[Saffel]] in an attempt to deter further [[Lyran]] and [[House Davion|Davion]] thrusts into the district.<ref name=H3039-61TC>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 61: "Terran Corridor Operations"</ref> ====Procyon==== In early May, the Ryuken arrived at the first target world of [[New Earth]] where the Ryuken-san moved on to the second target world of [[Procyon]] as soon as their [[JumpShips]] recharged. The Ryuken-san found only militia until the [[5th Lyran Regulars]] landed on May 18th. The Ryuken-san outclassed their opponents and destroyed an entire enemy battalion. The [[Ryuken-ni]] rendezvoused with the Ryuken-san at [[Procyon]] and the Ryuken-san broke off their attack to move on to [[Caph]].<ref name=H3039-63P>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 63: "Procyon (May)"</ref><ref name=3039DT/> ====Caph==== The June [[Battle of Caph (3039)|raid]] on the third target world of [[Caph]] proved devastating to the Ryuken-san. Intelligence had placed the [[3rd Crucis Lancers]] on the planet. Unknown to the [[Draconis Combine]], additional forces of the [[Davion Assault Guards]], the [[33rd Avalon Hussars]], three understrength [[Wolf's Dragoons]] regiments, and Wolf's Dragoons' [[Zeta Battalion]]. The Ryuken attacked the military base outside of the city of Aswan. The 3rd Crucis Lancers were initially overwhelmed until reinforcements from the Assault Guards and Wolf's Dragoons arrived. The Ryuken made a daring strike against the Hussars' base that then allowed the Ryuken to pull off the planet with heavy to severe losses.<ref name=H3039-61C/><ref name=3039DT/> ====Saffel==== The fourth target world of [[Saffel]] was found to be nearly undefended when the Ryuken arrived. They took command of the world and were ordered to claim it for the [[Draconis Combine]] by [[Warlord]] [[Michi Noketsuna]].<ref name=H3039-63S>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 63: "Saffel (June)"</ref> The Ryuken-san remained there for the rest of the war until they were redeployed to [[Niles (DC)|Niles]] sometime in [[3040]].<ref name=3039DT/> ===Ronin War=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Clan Invasion=== After the [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|Battle of Luthien]], the Ryuken-San, along with the rest of the Ryuken Brigade, were ordered to the world of [[Wolcott]], which by that point was a Combine-held oasis deep behind enemy lines.

Their actions pinned [[Clan Ghost Bear]] forces in place until the conclusion of the war.<ref name=fmu115/> ===Federated Suns Incursion=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Jihad=== ''Ryuken-san'' was hit by a [[Black Dragon Society]] uprising in [[3068]]. For the next two years they fought against the Society's sympathizers, eventually destroying them completely. Ordered to [[Proserpina]], the Ryuken-san finally arrived there in [[3073]] after suffering a series of misjumps, JumpShip problems, and damage from possible sabotage. These mishaps cost the Ryuken-san approximately a third of their strength.<ref name="frdcms-16">''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 16</ref> Assigned to [[General]] [[Belle Lee]]'s assault on Sydney,<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 96</ref> the ''Ryuken-san'' (like every other unit assigned to the Sydney attack) suffered serious losses at the hands of the [[7th Division (Word of Blake)|7th Division]] and [[26th Division (Word of Blake)|26th Division]].<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 105</ref> By the time they returned to their duty station on Proserpina, they were down to one third of their pre-Jihad strength.<ref name="frdcms-16"/> The regiment saw the DCMS High Command's acceptance of their petition to rebuild as a sign that stains on their honor from their Jihad misadventures were forgiven. At the same time, they supported ''[[Ryuken-ni]]'' in their petition to rebuild, which strained ''Ryuken-san''&#39;s relationship with the High Command.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 47</ref> They were stationed on [[Kesai IV]] in [[3145]].<ref name=FM3085p50/> ===Dark Age=== In [[3145]] Ryuken-san raided [[Sylvan]].

Rather than send their entire force, they dispatched a battalion to deal with the cadets.
