== History ==
=== Disbandment ===
The '''Eleventh Pesht Regulars''' were stationed in [[3050]] on [[Itabaiana]]<ref name="20YUp42"/> and in [[3052]] stationed alongside the [[Third Pesht Regulars]] on [[Teniente]] in January [[3052]] when [[Clan Nova Cat]] launched an invasion of the planet. The Third and the Eleventh tried to fight using ''[[zellbrigen]]'' and were being wiped out as a result. After a headhunter attack attempted to decapitate the leadership of the Pesht units, the remains of both regiments came under the command of [[Hohiro Kurita (31st c.)|Hohiro Kurita]],<ref name=LoDch4>''Lost Destiny'', ch. 4</ref> who sent the ''[[Tai-sa]]s'' and his aide, the ''[[yakuza]]'' [[Shin Yodama]], to [[Luthien]] to ask for aid.<ref name=LoDch12>''Lost Destiny'', ch. 12</ref>

Hohiro Kurita took command of the Eleventh Pesht Regulars and the survivors of the Third as well in a guerrilla campaign. He combined them into one unit, the 311th Pesht Regulars<ref>''Lost Destiny'', p. 263</ref>, and then broke them into mobile units that harassed the Clan forces on the world for months<ref>''Lost Destiny'', p. 61</ref> until elements of the [[Tenth Lyran Guards]] commanded by Prince [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] extracted Hohiro and the survivors from Teniente. The few survivors of the Eleventh Pesht Regulars were most likely reassigned to other units.<ref name="CGL:3PR">[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,17373.msg395569.html#msg395569 Catalyst Game Labs forum comment by Øystein, CGL Strategic Assistant]</ref>

== Notes ==
The disbandment of the Eleventh Pesht Regulars was confirmed by Øystein Tvedten, Strategic Assistant and BattleTech Developer for Catalyst Game labs:
{{Quote|The Third and Eleventh Pesht Regulars were effectively wiped out on Teniente in January 3052 as the world came under attack by Clan Nova Cat, who sent two assault clusters to take the world.

Hohiro assumed command after both regiments had been decimated trying to fight using ''zellbrigen'', and assumed a guerrilla campaign that Prince Victor Steiner-Davion had to extract him from, at Omi's behest. The small number of survivors which was extracted was probably reassigned to other units.|[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,17373.msg395569.html#msg395569 Øystein, 22 Mar 2012 at 08:17:03]}}
