The Galedon regulars occupy a curious space in the DCMS, being on the rolls solely due to the glorification of the past. Warlord Grieg Samsinov occupies an even more curious part of Combine Martial Tradition. while it is acknowledged that he acted out of hubris when going to war with Wolf's Dragoons just prior to the fourth succession war (thereby gutting his district and preventing any real action against the Federated Suns) he is held as a paragon of glory to the Dragon.
Samsonov's Atlas was briefly dusted off from a Military Museum on New Samarkand to act as the last guard to the DCMS headquarters. after the Combine was able to go on the offensive against the word of Blake, the mech was shuffled back to the museum quietly, no one noticing the adjustments made. The Chassis had to be stripped out at points and reinforced with endosteel joints and bearings... but a shortage of that precioous materiel led to the use of Comstar Provided Endo Composites instead. the antiquated Autocannon, alledgly provided by Samsinov's successor Li Dok To, was prone to jamming in its age and replaced with a salvaged heavy Gauss Rifle from a Blakist Vanquisher. the Lords Light PPCs served well until both were severely damaged from Feedback. Heavy PPCs were mounted in it's place and the cooling system refitted to adjust.
in 3145 this atlas was again dusted off and sent to the Davion Front, ironically serving in the Ryuken. Wolf's Dragoons warriors do not appreciate this reminder of the past, though few are descendants of the Dragoons that served when Samsinov was alive. it is a rite of passage for Dragoons fresh out of training battalions to find this Galedon Atlas and slap a Dragoons sticker on the leg, a tradition tolerated by a very weary Ryuken, not wishing for history to repeat itself.
