In [[3026]] [[Takashi Kurita]] ordered the creation of a [[BattleMech]] unit trained in the tactics of the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] [[mercenary unit]]. Takashi later ordered that the ''Ryuken'' split into several companies and each was to expand to regimental size. The '''''Ryuken-ichi''''', or ''Ryuken One'' (First Ryuken)  was the first of these units formed.

===Origin===
''Ryuken-ichi'' was the first Ryuken regiment created, based on the Dragoons base of [[An Ting]]. However, the unit's founder, [[Minobu Tetsuhara]] soon was replaced at his command by [[Jerry Akuma]], obsessed with destroy [[Wolf's Dragoons]] and using the unit for his own purposes. Akuma was so unpopular that most of the best soldiers left the unit, transfering to [[Ryuken-ni]], which left the ''Ichi'' mainly composed by green soldiers.<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)'', p. 37, "Atrocity"</ref><ref>''Wolves on the Border'' ch.48</ref>

On [[3028]], after open conflict began between the Combinea nd the Dragoons, Akuma sent the regiment to attack the Dragoons' bases prior to the ''Battle of Misery''. He didn't even bother to lead the unit on the field, delegating the task on [[Sho-sa]] [[Andrew Subato Chou]]. The assault became a slaughter when the Dragoons stopped them, and for about a week and half, the mercenaries began destroying the Ichi piece to piece. Chou was killed in combat and his unit nearly annihilated. The remaining survivors were unable to prevent the Dragoons' evacuation offplanet.<ref>''Wolves on the Border'' ch.45-48</ref>

All ''Ryuken'' regiments were later gathered to [[Misery]], though it is uknown if what remained of the ''Ryuken-Ichi'' was sent there.<ref>''Wolves on the Border'' ch.49</ref>

Unlike the other ''Ryuken'' regiments, ''Ryuken-ichi'' was never rebuilt after the [[Battle of Misery]]. [[Theodore Kurita]] struck the unit from the rolls, and the Second Ryuken (''Ryuken-ni'') became the lead regiment of the brigade. At the late [[Dark Age Era]], the unit had yet to be rebuilt.<ref>''Heir to the Dragon'', p. 342</ref><ref>''Redemption Rift''</ref>
