Where did the 25th Arcturan Guards RCT die?
« on: 06 February 2019, 13:41:40 »
The 25th Arcturan Guards RCT seemed to survive the FCCW intact and ended up stationed on the Falcon border it seems on Mkuranga but no indication they were still there in '69 when they were destroyed.  But I also cannot find what Falcon force they ended up fighting.  With a mech regiment, 3 aero wings, 5 armor regiments (Gurti?), and 5 infantry regiments it would take quite a sizeable Falcon force to hammer what could be concentrated to face invaders even if the whole force could not be assembled in one place.  I mean take it by 2/3s and you have 2 mech battalions, 3 armor regiments and 3 infantry regiments- it will take more than a cluster of Falcons IMO.

They weren't destroyed. The unit remained active throughout the Jihad and were involved in the battle of Terra

They were destroyed on Tharkad fighting the Wolves and Falcons in 3143. Is that what you're thinking of? Deadborder's correct, they were intact all the way through the Jihad and beyond.

Quote from: FR:LAAF, p10
The Jade Falcons wiped out the last of the Guards, the Twenty-fifth, in 3069, yet despite the chaos of the early Jihad, the regiment was rebuilt and returned to the Falcon front two years later, stopping an assault by Delta Galaxy cold.

Yup, but I could not find out where or which Falcon unit wrecked them in '69.  And if RoosterBoy is not giving an answer . . .
