Phantom Shadows

==History==
Formed in 3059 from some of the remnants of the Free Rasalhague Republic's 1st Kavalleri after it was almost totally destroyed, the Shadows specialize in covert scouting operations, and their skill as stealthers is nearly unrivaled. 
==Officers==
Mattias Nilsson, a Rasalhague major whose bataljon was mostly destroyed during fighting with Clan Wolf, turned to performing odd scouting and sabotage missions for various employers, as the KungsArme believed the entire regiment to be destroyed and such sent no supplies. Also selling large quantities of hardware in order to survive, the unit, comprised of only two hundred-odd personnel, soon had enough money to reequip itself with newer technology. 
==Tactics==
Nearly universally avoiding fixed battlelines and instead undertaking deep-striking sabotage, scouting and espionage raids, the Phantom Shadows live up to their name. Relying almost totally on infantry, battle armor, and the occasional light 'Mech or VTOL, training and stealth are the group's primary advantages. 
==Composition==
Striving to maintain some semblance of their former structure, most platoons of the Phantom Shadows are severely understrength. Infantry platoons typically reinforced with various specialists encountered during operations, although the platoon rarely numbers more than fifteen to twenty individuals. Battle armor units sustain less damage, typically numbering around ten troops and several technicians. VTOL units take fairly light casualties among the transport and bombardment units, and frighteningly high casualties in the light support platoon. Typically only three to four of the precious Little Bird helicopters are serviceable at a time, though a handful of DCMS Crow scouts have been captured.
Due to the lack of AeroSpace assets in the unit's original strength, a single Element of fighters has been contracted from the Zebra Sharks, a fellow mercenary unit with a shared vendetta against the Draconis Combine.
