203RD REGIMENT
The 203rd Steppe Lions have their origins as a Dong Wusian infantry division. Following the annexation of Dong Wu by the Jade Empire in 2865 the unit was reconstituted as the 2nd Dong Wu Marine Regiment.
Their first major combat action with the Jade Empire was during the Sarnath Campaign, where they served as a reserve force during the initial invasion, and subsequently as a garrison force and then 'advisory' force to the local CPA military. A battalion of the 203rd was involved in Operation Tethannis later in the year as part of a UNA task force hunting down the pirate leader Olga Kressler. A company of the 5th battalion under Captain Dulguun Odkhuu was able to board the Deliverance, Kressler's flagship, but the vessel FTL jumped out of system. The UNA were able to catch up to Kressler at Tethannis Prime and defeat Kressler, rescuing the stranded company. PERSONNEL
