==History==
 
==History==
The origins of '''Tristram's Avengers''' lay in the sharp expansion in size of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] following the repeal of the [[Council Edict of 2650]] by the [[Star League]] council in [[2752]]. The CCAF began expanding all of its various [[brigade]]s at a rapid pace, increasing the size of the [[Chesterton Regulars]] with the addition of two newly-formed [[regiment]]s between 2752 and [[2765]]; one of those two regiments was Tristram's Avengers.<ref name=FR2765CCAFp10/>

By 2765 Tristram's Avengers were a full regiment in size, with a large percentage of the Avengers' personnel having been recruited under rather dubious circumstances, including the Commanding Officer of the regiment, [[Colonel]] [[Tristram Sterne]]. The Avengers recruited expatriate Chestertonians from [[Federated Suns]] space, freely allowing those expatriates to enlist under pseudonyms - the stated reason for doing so being that it was "to protect their kin back home from unjust retribution by Chesterton's illegal occupiers". This made the Avengers one of two regiments in the Chesterton regulars founded from expatriate Chestertonians, the other being the [[Ariana Grenadiers]], and in both cases the Federated Suns had made demands for many of the enlisted personnel to be extradited back to the Federated Suns to face criminal charges.<ref name=FR2765CCAFp10/>
