The '''Sixth Striker Regiment''' was a part of the [[Star League Defense Force]].

==History==
===Reunification War===
The Sixth Striker Regiment was one of the SLDF commands mustered during the early decades of the [[Star League]], and took part in [[Operation BULL RUN]], the conquest of the [[Taurian Concordat]] during the [[Reunification War]]. The Sixth saw action during the brutal campaign to conquer [[New Vandenberg]], and was involved in the first major ground battle of the assault; on 23 February [[2588]], the Sixth and two sister [[regiments]], the [[7th Striker Regiment|Seventh]] and [[Eighth Striker Regiment]]s landed alongside other elements of [[I Corps (Star League)|I Corps]], supporting the [[First Royal Division]] as it attempted to seize the city of Harmony on the Brittain continent, along with the massive [[Vandenberg MilTech]] [[BattleMech]] plant there.<ref name="H:RWp89">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 89–91: "Charon's Express"</ref>

The [[1st Fleet (Star League)|First]] and [[2nd Fleet (Star League)|Second Fleets]] had spent forty straight days bombarding New Vandenberg from orbit, and defoliated much of Brittain in their attempt to find the [[Taurian Defense Force]] garrison, without much success. The forces attacking Harmony soon met the previously-elusive TDF troops, coming under attack from an asymmetric mix of elite anti-'Mech [[jump infantry]], [[hovercraft]], [[VTOL]]s and conventional aircraft using the factories as cover. After twelve hours, the SLDF units were forced to retreat.<ref name="H:RWp89"/>

The Sixth and the other SLDF units attacked Harmony again, this time with the [[3rd Division (Star League)|Third Division]] as reinforcements, but after a week of combat were ordered to withdraw by [[Field Marshal]] [[Amos Forlough]], who ordered the navy to destroy Harmony from orbit.<ref name="H:RWp89"/>
