15TH REGIMENT
The 15th Kajiyan Tigers Regiment is an infantry regiment in service with the Jade Marine Corps. Originally a force belonging to a minor regional lord from Kajiya, it fought at the Battle of Hasunomichi against the Shogunate. Following the defeat of the Mido-Dasani alliance, the eastern clans swore fealty to the Shogunate and the Tigers were folded into the Shogunate military.
Structured as the 15th Kajiya Regiment over the following years, it was involved in the Osean War and the Krahkozian Crisis. It fought during the Kuntrian War, repelling the first interstellar assault on the planet of Laptev. During the Vong War, they fought to liberate the planet of Neusattar from alien occupation. As a veteran unit, they were then dispatched to Holy Trek where they assisted in the Treksylvanian Campaign. During the Trathiran Revolt the 15th was stationed on the island of Ko in Ingen District, and crushed attempted uprisings there. Lacking reinforcements or leadership, the regiment held the island until the Restoration and the defeat of the Trathiran Revolt. The dependable regiment was kept close to the capitol in the following years, until the Barlat War. Towards the end of the conflict it was deployed as part the Marine complement for the joint fleet that Jade Admiral Botas led to the Battle over Sera, which resulted in a resounding victory for the Axis and bought about the end of the war. The regiment was part of the Axis Intervention Force during the San Alejandran Civil War and remained as part of the garrison of Aeterna City on Laptev. During the Botas Reforms of 2486 AT, the regiment was renamed the Kajiyan Tiger regiment in honour of the Kajiyan Tiger, a large carnivore that inhabits the coastal marshes and hills of eastern Ingen District. Its regimental parade colours are orange tigerstripe. The 15th was deployed as reinforcements to the Battle of Cass City following setbacks there. They advanced using arms blanche against the Merger forces and were able to capture the Great Marchander Guild of Commerce headquarters, killing Bailiwick Zboril, the regional commander. PERSONNEL
