History
The Twenty-second Skye Rangers were stationed on Tsukude in 2765.[1]
Succession Wars
In 3013 the Twenty-second tried to defend diamond storehouse from a raid by the Ninth Rasalhague Regulars. They were unsuccessful, and the Regulars made off with large amounts of diamonds for use in 'Mech armor.[2]
Falcon Incursion
The Twenty-second Skye Rangers were never a strong unit. The unit was stationed on Engandine after the War of 3039 removed most of the Lyran defenders in the region and pirates attacked the world.[3] The AFFC and later Lyran Alliance used the unit as a sink unit and assigned their malcontents to the regiment. Defending Engadine in 3058, they were expected to fold early when the Jade Falcons attacked, but instead they fought well, holding the Falcons off for six days. They were poised to push the Second Falcon Jaegers off the world when the Seventh Falcon Regulars dropped behind them. Though eventually defeated the Falcons were so impressed that they took the survivors as bondsmen.[4] After the withdrawal from Coventry these bondsmen were released and returned to the Alliance.
To rebuild the unit, the LAAF High Command decided to merge the survivors of the Tenth Skye Rangers with the survivors of the Twenty-second. This allowed the regiment to rebuild quickly, but integration issues troubled the unit.[5]
FedCom Civil War
The Twenty-second spent most of the FedCom Civil War moving towards Skye. In the first wave they moved to Miquelon.[6] They then moved to Krievci[7] before landing on Cameron in the third wave.[8] In 3065 the Fourth Skye Rangers tried to conquer the important industrial world of Hesperus II, alongside the Seventeenth Skye Rangers, the Twenty-second Skye Rangers and the Thirty-second Lyran Guards, but were beaten back by the Grey Death Legion, Fifteenth Lyran Guards and 36th Skye Guards. The Skye forces had to retreat.[9]
The Jihad
In September 3073 the Fifty-second Shadow Division attacked Caledonia, wiping out the defending Twenty-second Rangers;[10] according to intelligence obtained by the Draconis Combine noble Chandrasekhar Kurita, famed for his espionage network, the Fifty-second specifically hunted down and killed every single member of the Twenty-second during the attack.[11]
Officers
In 3025 the unit is commanded by Colonel Ivan Petroff.[12]
As of 3062 the commanding officer is Colonel Francisco de Argall.[5] He was also in command during the 3058 Falcon Incursion.[13]
Tactics
They prefer surprise attacks. Contrary to most other lyran units, they have a lot of light Mechs.[5]
