The Syrtis Avengers are a [[Combined-Arms]] force used originally as a regional unit for the [[Capellan March]] of the [[Federated Suns]]. ==History== During the Jihad the Syrtis Fusiliers were heavily damaged. The [[AFFS]] High Command ordered the [[Capellan March]] commander to rebuild the Fusilier [[RCT]]s as [[Light Combat Team]]s, but [[Nathaniel Hasek]] refused. Instead he tried to rebuild the existing Fusilier RCTs to full strength. This proved impossible, but to save face he created the Syrtis Avengers unit, a lighter, more responsive unit that happened to follow the organizational pattern of the Light Combat Team.<ref name=mastmin46>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 46</ref> The Syrtis Avengers were formed by combining [[BattleMech]] assets from the [[8th Syrtis Fusiliers]] with armor and infantry assets from the [[6th Syrtis Fusiliers]]. This led to some integration issues.<ref name=mastmin46/> Since their formation in [[3079]], the Syrtis Avengers threw themselves into every fight they could possibly reach. The unit's BattleMech contingent would often attack the enemy before their heavy armor support had even left their [[DropShip]]s. This led to the unit losing two commanders under fire.<ref>''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 15</ref> During [[Operation MATADOR]] the Syrtis Avengers accompanied Nathaniel Hasek and the [[Illician Lancers]]' 59th Regiment to [[Ridgebrook]]. There they fought the [[Concordat Jaegers]]<ref>''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 27</ref>, but ultimately had to give up the world.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 54</ref> During the Ridgebrook campaign, the Avengers butted heads with the Illician Lancers, causing a great deal of problems. The death of Nathaniel Hasek on Ridgebrook enraged the Avengers, and they only left the planet after receiving a direct order from [[Duchess]] [[Angela Hasek]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 63</ref> In [[3085]] they were stationed on [[Verlo]].<ref name="FM:3085p70"/> In the [[Victoria War]] of [[3103]] the Avengers fought against the [[CCAF]].
