History

The unit was officially founded by Victor Steiner-Davion on December 23rd 3062, when he declared Archer Christifori's rebels the 1st Thorin Regiment. The unit was founded from the Thorin FTM and various (sometimes criminal) groups of civilians.

The first task of the 1st Thorin Regiment was to defeat the 15th Arcturan Guards. They successfuly drove them off Thorin and Muphrid in early 3063.

The novel Measure of a Hero states, that the 1st Thorin Regiment stood on Thorin on February 9th 3063. However, the novel Call of Duty states, that by February 11th, the 1st Thorin Regiment had integrated the Muphrid FTM and conquered Syrma, Milton and Alcor. The fighting on Alcor lasted from mid-January to February 11th.

By salvaging the remains of the defeated militias, the 1st Thorin regiment all in all has grown to a reinforced Regiment. But by leaving garrison troops on each planet, their strength was at two reinforced combined-arms Battalions in February 3063.
