845th REGIMENT
The 845th Golden Eagle Regiment was originally founded as the militia Einherjar band. Named for the glorious dead who earned a place in the Neusattran afterlife, Valholl, by dying with a weapon in their hand, the Einherjar were one of the ad-hoc bands of partisans who formed to fight the Vong in 2429 AT, the Einherjar were the first to be contacted by the Dinosaur Shogunate and provided modern weapons, training, logistical support and Shogunate reinforcements.
Following the defeat of the Vong and the annexation of Neusattar, the Einherjar were formally incorporated into the military as a full regiment. They were sent to recapture various remote installations during the Treksylvania Campaign. During the Trathiran Revolt, like many of their fellow Neusattrans, the 845th Regiment returned to Neusattar and enforced a blockade. The planet remained neutral during the conflict and took no part in the war until the fall of the Politburo, when many Neusattran units returned to assist the Exiles in retaking the Laptev System. During the Qart-Hadastim War the regiment was stationed aboard warships in the Laptev System, and fought boarding actions during the Second Battle over Laptev. During the Barlat War, the regiment was present at Taial where it carried out investigations into the Goods Exchange Bombing and subsequently fired an MSPDD weapon, levelling the city of Amren. The regiment fought in the Keystone System Campaign against the forces of the Merger, suffering moderate losses assaulting Merger facilities on the ground. The regiment's experience fighting the Merger proved to be instrumental during the Battle of Long Isle, where the 2nd Battalion repelled a Merger attack on the fledgling colony. Despite suffering heavy casualties, the 2nd Battalion was successful and was able to restore Imperial control of the colony. A detachment of the 4th Battalion of the 845 th, whilst serving as the marine complement aboard the Disir Dressed In Black of the 82nd Fleet, suffered heavy casualties at the Skirmish of Tee-Ex. Ambushed by reptilian aliens, more than 65% of the marines were killed or injured as enemy boarders assaulted the landing elevator of the Disir and boarded its lower levels. Captain Poling and her surviving marine were reinforced by Corundan infantry and counter-attacked, clearing the Disir and enabling it to dust-off. During the Botas Reforms of 2486 AT, the regiment was renamed the Golden Eagle regiment after the Sattran Golden Eagle, a large mountain-dwelling bird of prey which predates other birds and small-to-medium sized mammals. Their regimental parade colours are gold and brown, and they wear hardlight eagle wing sashimono which double as parachutes and glider wings. |
