Unit Brief

The 13th Division was a "hidden" unit formed within 3060s, by Word of Blake. The unit ultilized primary in Capellan Theater of Jihad "War".

History

The Avatars deployed under the guise of supporting Capellan Confederation's Operation: Thunderstrike, taking Davion world of Kittery in November, 3068. The Division's first victory in history, it destroyed both 1st Kittery Borderers and its supporting unit of the Kittery Training Battalion.

After conquest of Kittery, the Avatars received influx of recruits from converted FedSun soldiers and defectors from the Sixth Free Worlds Legionnaries. Using its bolstered forces, begun to raids against nearby worlds, usiing Kittery as their "homeworld". While conducting the raids, it was relieved temporary by yet-seen 41st Shadow Division. Elements of the 41st's Manei Domini troops augumented 13th's elements to capture the FedSuns held worlds of Spica and Denbar in 3069. 13th forces continued to disguise their efforts as part of "House Liao" offensive. The Avatars created Protectorate Militas and hired mercenaries to secure these worlds and return to Kittery.

By this time, the Protectorate Island surrounding Kittery had expanded (with aide of the 33rd Division) to include Scituate and Gurnet by end of 3070.

In 3071, the Avatars were on Kittery were attack and dispersed by the POWs from Blake's reeducation camp of RMBU 105, lead by Devlin Stone. The Avatar's and its mercenary hires were soon pushed out the Island by Stone's forces in 3072. The unit was reportedly decimated to a company's worth of troops and disappeared from intelligence reports.
