1ST REGIMENT
The 1st Dragon Regiment is the specialist regiment tasked with guarding the Jade Throne and Council of Regents.
Based in the Jade Palace in Imperial City, they are easily distinguishable by their white and jade-green armour and the Imperial crest lacquered on their breastplates. The 1st Regiment fights as a light infantry unit, and specialises in close-quarters and urban warfare as well as surveillance, crowd control, close protection and hostage negotiation and rescue. HISTORYThe regiment fought as cavalry during the Kuntrian War, forming part of the massive cavalry charge led by Shogun Tadamichi Kuribayashi which turned the tide of battle and led to the Kuntrian defeat.
The regiment fought during the Trathiran Revolt. A squadron of the 1st was among the famous Katsumoto's Sixty who died defending the Jade Palace in order to allow Jade Empress Takara to escape. The rest of the regiment accompanied her during her Exile. During the Botas Reforms of 2486 AT, the regiment was renamed the Dragon regiment, one of the few regiments to be modelled after a fictional species. Their parade colours are jade green, gold and ivory. PERSONNEL
