In the late 3060s it would be adapted and remade into a combat formation of the [[Rasalhague Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Rasalhague Galaxy]] to defend [[Clan Ghost Bear]]'s [[Ghost Bear Dominion]], and later the [[Rasalhague Dominion]]. ==History== === Clan Invasion === During the [[Clan Invasion]] the Gunzburg Eagles were stationed on [[Gunzburg]]. Many soldiers were eager to fight and avenge their fallen comrades. In the end, their leader, [[Tor Miraborg]], was confronted with the option to fight and gain glory or to save the lives of his men. Miraborg chose to hand over the planet to [[Clan Wolf]] and accepted the reality of his situation.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 67 </ref> === The Jihad === During the [[Jihad]], the Gunzburg Eagles were one of those units that sat in a shifting middle ground, between the former [[KungsArmé]] and the [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|Clan Ghost Bear ''touman'']].

[[Thun]] was one of the worlds contested during the scramble for new possessions – both [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and the [[Rasalhague Dominion]] moved to take the world, with the [[8th Falcon Velites (Clan Jade Falcon)|8th Falcon Velites]] attempting to capture Thun from the Gunzburg Eagles. Unfortunately for the 8th, the Eagles avoided direct combat while conducting repeated air strikes until the 8th had no choice but to retreat.<ref name="FM:3145p156">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 156 - "Epsilon Galaxy"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- ! colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | Commanding Officers of the Gunzburg Eagles |- | ''[[Överste]]'' | [[Franklin Mathiesne]] | [[3050]]<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 51</ref> |- ! colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | Commanding Officers of the Gunzburg Eagles (Clan Ghost Bear) |- | [[Star Colonel]] | [[Ǿyvind (Gunzburg Eagles)|Ǿyvind]] | [[3085]]<ref name=FM3085p127>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 127: "Clan Military Forces"</ref> |- | [[Star Colonel]] | [[Henrik Wergeland]] | [[3145]]<ref name=FM3145>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 172</ref> |- |} ===Other Officers=== * [[Kapten]] [[Tyra Miraborg]] was an officer in the Gunzburg Eagles in 3050.<ref>''Lethal Heritage'', p. 45</ref> ==Tactics== The Gunzburg Eagles rely on the heavy armor and firepower carried by their assault 'Mechs instead of using maneuver or combined arms.<ref name=cmkp71>''Combat Manual: Kurita'', p. 71</ref> ==Composition== === 3079 === '''Gunzburg Eagles''' (Regular/Reliable)<ref name="FR:Cp11"/> : Note: At this point in time the Eagles were stationed on [[Tukayyid]] and operating at close to full strength, but only two-fifths of the regiment was equipped with [[OmniMech]]s. ===3085=== '''Gunzburg Eagles''' (Regular/Reliable)<ref name=FM3085p127/> * CO: Star Colonel [[Ǿyvind (Gunzburg Eagles)|Ǿyvind]] : Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Balsta]] with an operational strength of 95 percent.<ref name=FM3085p127/> ==Notes== * Rules for the Gunzburg Eagles can be found in ''[[Combat Manual: Kurita]]''.<ref name=cmkp71/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[20 Year Update]]'' * ''[[Combat Manual: Kurita]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Report: Clans]]'' * ''[[Lethal Heritage]]'' (novel) * ''[[Wolf Clan Sourcebook]]'' [[Category: Free Rasalhague Republic Commands]] [[Category: Rasalhague Dominion Commands]]
