−	Cassidy commanded the [[Fourth Ceti Hussars]] during the [[Capellan Confederation]]'s [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]], as part of which the [[1st Liao Dragoons|First Liao Dragoons]] raided [[Valexa]], where the Hussars were based. In the course of this raid the Liao Dragoons were able to badly maul the Fourth Ceti Hussars, after they managed to drive between the Hussars and the [[Valexa Capellan March Militia]], and the Valexa CMM's [[Leftenant General]] [[Allastair Beaverbrook]] refused to deploy his command to assist the Hussars. While Beaverbrook claimed he was prevented by coming to the Hussars aid by the Dragoons' [[artillery]], later investigations suggested the Capellans had only minimal artillery support, in the form of a [[lance]] of [[Arrow IV]]-equipped ''[[Catapult]]''s.<ref name=FM3145p81>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 81</ref>	+	Cassidy commanded the [[Fourth Ceti Hussars]] during the [[Capellan Confederation]]'s [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]], as part of which the [[1st Liao Dragoons|First Liao Dragoons]] raided [[Valexa]], where the Hussars were based.

This desire was based on the hope that mercenary status would give the Hussars greater freedom to fight in their preferred manner, and that it would hopefully strengthened the [[Federated Suns]] by saving the state on the costs of maintaining the unit. This came to pass under First Prince Julian Davion's program to offer nonhereditary peerages to mercenary units who would help in the recovery of [[New Avalon]], with Cassidy accepting a viscounty on [[Tecumseh]], and the Fourth being decommissioned to become mercenaries.<ref name=ICp121></ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[ilClan (sourcebook)]]'' [[Category:Federated Suns Characters|Cassidy, Zachariah]] [[Category:Mercenary Characters|Cassidy, Zachariah]]
