The Twenty-sixth was still rebuilding a year later, in large part from salvaged equipment belonging to the raiders - equipment of a distinctly [[Taurian Concordat|Taurian]] nature.<ref name="FR:FS2765p9">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 9: "Avalon Hussars"</ref> === Succession Wars === The Twenty-sixth was active throughout the [[First Succession War]], and by the end of the war was operating at a combat strength half a regiment short of its prewar strength.<ref name="FSWp134"/> During the interwar period the Twenty-sixth rebuilt to close to its original strength.<ref name="SSWp94"/> In mid-[[2828]] [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] units attacked [[Mendham]], with the [[First Centauri Guards]] and [[Sixth St. Ives Lancers]] surprising both the Twenty-sixth and the other major defending unit, the [[Fourteenth Syrtis Fusiliers]]. Despite their initial surprise at the attack, which was part of [[Operation CELT]] - an offensive aimed at recapturing [[Chesterton]] - the two AFFS units fought back hard, making a number of attempts to crush the CCAF landing zone at Munnings. Although the two AFFS regiments couldn't overwhelm the entrenched forces in the landing zone, they did prevent the Guards and Sentinels from breaking out, and all four units were battered by the time the CCAF units withdrew in late June.<ref name="SSWp24">''Second Succession War'', p. 24: "The Suns-Confederation Front"</ref> The Twenty-sixth was ultimately one of the casualties of the [[Second Succession War]] - one of seven Avalon Hussars regiments to be destroyed during the conflict.<ref name="SSWp94"/> ==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 26th Avalon Hussars''' |- |} ==Tactics== During the [[Star League]] era all of the Avalon Hussars were required to focus on being both flexible and mobile, with every regiment required to be capable of deploying within eight hours, although many of the Hussars struggled to actually achieve this.<ref name="FR:FS2765p8">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 8: "Avalon Hussars"</ref> ==Composition History== === 2765 === '''Twenty-sixth Avalon Hussars''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name="FR:FS2765p10">''Field Report: Federated Suns'', p. 10: "Regimental Status"</ref> :- At this point in time the Twenty-sixth was stationed on [[Robsart]] and included a significant quantity of Taurian equipment within the unit makeup.<ref name="FR:FS2765p10"/> In common with the other regiments of the Avalon Hussars the Twenty-sixth had an attached aerospace wing, although these forces were primarily tasked to provide ground support rather than escort duties.<ref name="FR:FS2765p8"/> === 2786–2821=== '''Twenty-sixth Avalon Hussars''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name="FSWp134">''First Succession War'', p. 134: "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns (AFFS)"</ref> :- At this point in time the Hussars were a medium-weight regiment stationed on Robsart and were operating at four-battalion strength.<ref name="FSWp134"/> In 2821 the unit were stationed on [[Mendham]] and were down approximately half a regiment in combat strength from their prewar status.<ref name="FSWp134"/> === 2830 === '''Twenty-sixth Avalon Hussars''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name="SSWp94">''Second Succession War'', p. 94: "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns (AFFS)"</ref> :- At this point in time the Hussars were an medium-weight regiment and had managed to rebuild to close to their previous four-battalion strength.
