History[edit]

Fourth Succession War[edit]

During the Fourth Succession War, Valos and the New Avalon CrMM were relocated to the world of New Aragon in order to defend the supply depot located in Grahamsville. When the planet came under attack from the remnants of the Capellan Confederation's First, Second, and Third Chesterton Voltigeurs, Valos's inexperienced troops were given the opportunity to prove themselves against the Third Voltiguers' First Battalion. While Valos had accepted command of the New Avalon CrMM in the expectation that his retirement would follow soon after and shared his troops' discomfort at being so far from home, his combat engineers were still quick to destroy the bridges leading to the city over the raging Graham River. This caused the Capellans to lose some of their machines during their crossing of the river but fierce fighting soon began in Grahamsville proper. Valos's militiamen met the Voltiguers' suicidal charge two kilometers from the city's warehouse district and, in the ensuing battle, both Valos and his Capellan counterpart were badly wounded and forced out of action. This proved to be the turning point of the fighting, as the soldiers of the New Avalon CrMM rallied under the command of Valos's executive officer and crushed all but a company of their demoralized opponents in the ensuing counterattack.[2]
