The unit would be become part of merged realms of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] as an [[RCT]]. After the Jihad, the Seventeenth was restructured as a smaller multi-[[battalion]] [[LCT|Light Combat Team]]. ==History== === Star League Era === The Seventeenth was actively involved in the border war between the [[Capellan Confederation]] and [[Federated Suns]] during the early 2760s; relocated from [[Robinson]] into the [[Royalston]] thumb, the Seventeenth was initially supposed to serve as a training cadre helping the reactivated [[brigade]]s to get up to speed and make them capable of opposing the Confederation and the pirates plaguing the border. As the war heated up, the AFFS launched an invasion of [[Redfield]], and the Seventeenth acted as the lead unit for that invasion. The Seventeenth bore the brunt of the fighting, and was still rebuilding in [[2765]]; while the Seventeenth's matériel losses had been replaced, it still hadn't received enough trained soldiers to replace the casualties taken during the invasion.<ref name="FR:FS2765p8">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 8: "Avalon Hussars"</ref> === First Succession War === In [[2796]] most of the Seventeenth Avalon Hussars were sent to [[New Avalon]] to prepare for an attack by the [[Draconis Combine]]. A small group of the Seventeenth was left behind on [[New Rhodes III]] to stall the Draconis advance. Two ''[[Enforcer]]s'' and four ''[[Dervish|Dervishes]]'' from the Seventeenth inflicted huge losses on the [[Second Sword of Light]]'s supply train. The six members of the Seventeenth were eventually run down and killed, but they cost the [[DCMS]] thousands of tons of ammunition and spare parts before that happened.<ref name=TRO3025Rp62>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', p. 62</ref> === Second Succession War === In May [[2833]] the Seventeenth Avalon Hussars joined the [[Second Ceti Hussars]] and the [[Ninth Deneb Light Cavalry]] on [[Operation LEOPARD]], the second major attempt to capture the important industrial world of [[Tikonov]] to be launched in 13 months. The Ceti Hussars had attempted to capture Tikonov in [[Operation LION]], launched in April [[2382]], but had ultimately been stymied by a lack of equipment and resources needed to dislodge the defending forces from the High Kremlin, a former [[SLDF]] fortress, and the massively fortified cities like Tikograd dotted across the planet. This time, the AFFS was better prepared, and dropped onto Tikonov with troops, artillery and aircraft suitable for breaking entrenched enemies out of heavy fortifications.<ref name="SSWp36">''Second Succession War'', p. 36: "Crossed Swords"</ref> This time, the AFFS forces managed to break into and capture the High Kremlin after a bloody two-week battle, and proceeded to capture the heavily fortified cities of Krasnodar and Pskov in early June, leaving all of the major population and industrial centers under AFFS control. What the AFFS couldn't do was pin down the surviving elements of the CCAF defending units, who faded into the wilderness and used exactly the same mobile tactics against the AFFS that the Ceti Hussars had used against them the year before. The three AFFS regiments broke down into increasingly smaller elements to try and pin down the CCAF units, and distributed supply caches around the world, only to be foxed by the arrival of the [[Capellan Hussars]] on the 13th of June. The Capellan Hussars destroyed many of the AFFS caches, a setback that the combined AFFS units could probably have overcome with time, but [[MIIO]] passed on intelligence indicating signs of massed CCAF troop movements towards Tikonov, prompting [[General]] [[H. R. Greer]] to withdraw the AFFS forces from Tikonov, much to the chagrin of the [[First Prince]], who rewarded Greer with KP duty on [[New Syrtis]] until the end of [[2834]].<ref name="SSWp36"/> ===War of 3039=== Led by [[Field Marshal]] [[Ardan Sortek]] the Seventeenth Avalon Hussars and the [[First Davion Guards]] attacked [[An Ting]]. The Seventeenth took five thousand prisoners during the attack.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 51–52</ref> Several [[DCMS]] troops were able to escape death or capture, however, and led insurgent attacks against the [[AFFS]] troops. In late July ''[[Ryuken-roku]]'' landed on An Ting under the command of ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Dechan Fraser]]. ''Ryuken-roku'' struck at the largest AFFS prisoner of war camp, freeing thousands of DCMS troops. The Hussars and Davion Guards still had control of much of the planet however. That changed two weeks later when ''[[Tai-shu]]'' [[Kester Hsiun Chi]] arrived on An Ting with ''[[Ryuken-yon]]'' and several regiments of conventional forces. Field Marshal Sortek ordered the AFFS forces to retreat.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 102–103</ref> ===Clan Invasion Era=== The Seventeenth Avalon Hussars were one of the units reassigned to the [[Clan]] front, but they didn't arrive until a few weeks before the [[Truce of Tukayyid]]. For the next five years they jumped along the front, keeping [[Clan Jade Falcon]] off-balance while the rest of the [[AFFC]] rebuilt.<ref name=FMFS53>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 53: "17th Avalon Hussars Unit Profile"</ref> ===Operation Guerrero=== The Seventeenth didn't participate in [[Operation Guerrero]], but was horrified when they discovered [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s deception.<ref name=FMFS53/> ===Operation BULLDOG=== The Seventeenth didn't participate in [[Operation BULLDOG]]'s combat operations, but their [[JumpShips]] were assigned to the forces used in Operation BULLDOG and [[Task Force Serpent]].<ref name=FMFS53/> ===FedCom Civil War=== The homeworld of the Seventeenth Avalon Hussars was [[Cassias]]. During the [[FedCom Civil War]], the Seventeenth attacked the [[Draconis Combine]] worlds of [[An Ting]] and [[Matsuida]]. An Ting fell relatively quickly,<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 48–49</ref> and the Seventeenth moved on to Matsuida. There they faced the [[Second Galedon Regulars]], surrounding the green unit from three different drop zones. A battalion of the [[Seventh Ghost]] was also on the world, and they smashed two of the Seventeenth's smaller landing zones completely. The Seventeenth's main force was able to destroy much of the Second Galedon Regulars before the Seventh Ghost could open an escape route. The DCMS forces withdrew from the fight, with the Seventeenth's fastest elements tracking the Seventh Ghost and the slower units surrounding the city that housed the Second Galedon Regulars. The Second staged a series of small attacks on the Seventeenth but didn't inflict major damage. After waiting for a few weeks, the Seventeenth drove deep into the city. This brought the Seventh Ghost out of hiding and the Seventeenth destroyed them.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 71–72</ref> The Seventeenth then turned to the Second Galedon Regulars. Commando squads from the Seventeenth used snipers and other "dishonorable" tactics to kill the Second Galedon's officer corps. The Second, enraged by this, threw themselves into a suicidal charge of the Seventeenth's fortified positions. Six weeks after the death of the Seventh Ghost force, the Seventeenth wiped out every member of the Second Galedon Regulars in less than an hour.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 91</ref> A few months later, the [[Twelfth Galedon Regulars]], ''[[Ryuken-go]]'', and the remaining Seventh Ghost battalions landed on Matsuida. There the Seventh Ghost faded into the wilderness, hitting smaller Seventeenth Hussar commands and stirring the population against the Hussars. The Twelfth Galedon Regulars and ''Ryuken'' surrounded the main body of the Seventeenth Hussars and prevented a breakout. Things came to a head when the Seventh Ghost regiment turned their attention to the Seventeenth's main base. The Twelfth Galedon Regulars forced a breach in the Seventeenth's lines and shoved a battalion through the gap. A [[company]] from the Seventh Ghost was able to infiltrate the rear areas of the Seventeenth Hussars and went on a rampage. With his lines failing and his rear area no longer secure, the Seventeenth's commander withdrew from Matsuida and returned to An Ting.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 108</ref> The Seventeenth landed on An Ting and found it a hotbed of Combine activity. Three days after they landed the Twelfth Galedon Regulars and ''Ryuken-Go'' arrived on An Ting. After splitting into two forces the Seventeenth's armor regiment halted the ''Ryuken'' while the Seventeenth's 'Mechs held the Twelfth Galedon in place. This led to several weeks of intense fighting as the two Hussar commands tried several times to join forces. The ''Ryuken'' and Galedon Regulars were able to prevent most of these attempts. The Seventeenth finally did join into one unit however, and left An Ting. The Seventeenth was pressured the entire way, and was forced to leave behind two regiments of mixed conventional forces.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 133</ref> Landing on their homeworld of [[Cassias]], the Seventeenth occupied several fortified positions prepared by the [[Third Davion Guards]] when that unit was on the world. Shortly after the Seventeenth's arrival, the [[Fifth Sword of Light]] attacked Cassias. A few days later, two combat commands from the Third Davion Guards arrived to reinforce the Hussars. The [[AFFS]] forces were able to keep the Sword of Light pinned near their drop zones for several weeks. The arrival of ''Ryuken-Go'' changed things, allowing the Combine troops to finally take more ground. The Seventeenth inflicted many casualties on the Combine units however.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 136</ref> The Seventeenth slowly ground the DCMS troops down, advancing steadily, destroying and demoralizing them. Draconis Combine MechWarriors found this personal affront to their honor so insulting that several companies of turned and fought the Hussars in duels. The Combine commander, ''[[Tai-sa]]'' Shotoku led a force of volunteers directly into the path of the Seventeenth Hussars. This fight restored the honor of the Combine warriors, and allowed them to withdraw.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 166–167</ref> Several regiments abandoned their post, joining [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]'s forces on [[New Avalon]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 168</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 126</ref><ref>''The Longest Road'' in ''The Corps'', p. 204</ref> They were destroyed. The remaining component units of the Seventeenth Avalon Hussars were assigned to [[Talcott]].<ref name=FMUp137>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 137: "ASSF Deployment Table - 3067"</ref> ===Jihad=== The Seventeenth remained on Talcott through the [[Jihad]]. There they faced off against [[Word of Blake]] forces that attacked the [[General Motors]] factories on the world. These Blakists were disguised as Capellan troops, but the deception was revealed. After repelling the single attack on Talbott, the Seventeenth rebuilt their losses from the output of the GM factories. Facing little combat and near the GM factories, the Seventeenth was able to convert half their conventional infantry units to battle armored formations. The large [[battle armor]] formations were broken up into smaller units and transferred to other Avalon Hussars commands to rapidly bring those units up to [[LCT]] strength.<ref name="fra9">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 9</ref> The Seventeenth was assigned as Talcott's garrison in [[3079]].<ref name="fra9"/> They were still the garrison unit in [[3085]], and were restructured into a [[Light Combat Team]]. The units that split off from the Seventeenth became the core of the new [[First Avalon Hussars]] and [[Second Avalon Hussars]]. The Seventeenth was assigned to garrison [[Spica]] after the [[Kittery Prefecture]] was handed over to the Federated Suns.<ref name=fm3085p57/> ===Dark Age=== During the [[Victoria War]] of [[3103]] and [[3104]], the Seventeenth was assigned to take station on [[Kittery]] to support the [[Fourth Crucis Lancers]]. The [[CCAF]] responded by attacking Kittery, and after four months of combat the Seventeenth was forced off-world. The unit suffered from morale loss and poor performance until they raided [[Warlock]] in retaliation for raids conducted by the [[1st Janissaries|First St. Ives Janissaries]]. The Seventeenth inflicted heavy losses and took a [[Lung Wang#Variants|''Lung Wang'' P2]] as war spoils. In the early years of the post-[[Blackout]] period, the CCAF invaded the [[Federated Suns]] and the Seventeenth was forced off Spica.<ref name=er3145p52>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 52</ref> The Seventeenth was badly damaged when the [[Second St. Ives Sentinels]] launched a raid on the Seventeenth's base on [[Fortymile]]. The raid was a retaliation for the Seventeenth's destruction of the Janissaries and went very well for the Sentinels;<ref name="FM:3145p42"/> the Seventeenth were caught unawares, having only just finished unloading a few hours before. The LCT's conventional forces were still mostly attempting to unload, and the Sentinels were able to concentrate on the Seventeenth's 'Mech and battle armor forces. Even as forces on the ground were battling the Sentinels launched an aerospace strike that destroyed a fully loaded ''[[Colossus (DropShip class)|Colossus]]'' DropShip belonging to the Seventeenth along with the supplies and armored units aboard it at the time.<ref name="FM:3145p74">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 74: "Seventeenth Avalon Hussars LCT"</ref> The Seventeenth attempted to fall back to the Klondike mountain range, giving the advantage to the Sentinels, who were the more maneuverable of the two units. Dispersed pockets of the Seventeenth were caught in broken terrain and destroyed and among the trophies brought back to Highspire by the Sentinels were the legs of General Suttikul's 'Mech.<ref name="FM:3145p42">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 42: "Second St. Ives Sentinels"</ref> The damage inflicted by the Sentinels was such that the Seventeenth had been effectively neutralized as an offensive unit in [[3145]], a state that would continue unless supplies could be delivered from [[Kathil]] or [[Salem]] to allow the LCT to rebuild.<ref name="FM:3145p74"/> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 17th Avalon Hussars''' |- | [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]]||[[Emma O'Brien]]|| - [[3010]]<ref name=HTP:MWp7>''Historical Turning Points: Mallory's World'', p. 7</ref> |- | [[General]]||[[Eugene Drivers]]||3010 - [[3013]]<ref name=HTP:MWp7/> |- | Marshal||[[Addley Verner]]||[[3025]]<ref name=HD137>''House Davion: The Federated Suns'', p. 137: "Dahar PDZ"</ref> |- | Marshal||[[A.J.
