History
The Homeworld Of the 1st Davion Guards is New Avalon
Operation Bull Dog
In 3059, as part of Operation Bird Dog, 1st Davion Guards RCT of the Federated Commonwealth was largely responsible for capturing the Clan Smoke Jaguar planet of Port Arthur.
In 3060, as the defeated Smoke Jaguars fled towards their homeworlds after Operation Bulldog, The Guards 1st Battalion was assigned to stop a renegade Smoke Jaguar commander, Star Colonel Marcus Kotare, from obtaining and deploying weapons of mass destruction stored on the desolate Deep Periphery planet, Cermak.
During these campaigns, 1st Battalion was commanded by Colonel Kristen Reese.
One of the 1st Davion Guard MechCommanders was an AFFC officer named Harrison.
FedCom Civil War
The First Davion Guards RCT were assigned to New Avalon during the early part of the FedCom Civil War.
In late April of 3063, Marshal Bishop Sortek, commander of the Davion Brigade of Guards and titular commander of the First Davion Guards, ordered the first to engage the Loyalist forces threatening them, since the first refused to swear absolute loyalty to Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion. Field Marshal and Prince's Champion Simon Gallagher ordered the Loyalist forces - the Third Robinson Rangers, the Tenth Deneb Light Cavalry, the New Avalon CMM and several secondary units stationed on New Avalon - to forcibly disarm and disband the 1st.
The First Davion Guards were destroyed almost to the last man on December 20, 3063 by the Tenth DLC and Third Robinson Rangers.
Officers
As of 3063 the Commanding Officer was Marshal Bishop Sortek, cousin of Field Marshal Ardan Sortek. Bishop Sortek was killed on New Avalon in October 3063 while buying time for his unit to escape their pursuers.
