History


Clan Invasion

As of 3050, the 1st NAIS Cadet Cadre was based on its homeworld Exeter. [1]

By 3054, they had been relocated to Schedar. [2]

Civil War

During the FedCom Civil War, the 1st NAIS was the garrison of Tikonov. When it became clear that their loyalties are pro-Victor, Katherine Steiner-Davion ordered the attack of the 15th Deneb Light Cavalry. The Valexa CMM came to aid the 1st NAIS, but they were still outmatched. Later, in 3064, the pro-Katherine 3rd Republican Guards also arrived on Tikonov. In early 3065 Victor's task-force attacked Tikonov, saving the remains of the 1st NAIS.

Later, when Victor's forces had to retreat, the 1st NAIS, the Valexa militia and the 6th Crucis Lancers stayed on Tikonov to hold out, until the offensive had gained new momentum. The 1st NAIS joined with Victor's forces for the final battle on New Avalon, attacking Avalon City and taking losses from an artillery strike by the 299th Division.[3]

Jihad


Officers

As of 3044 to 3062 the commanding officer was Leftenant General Jonathon Sanchez.[4]

The 1st Cadre relies on isolating parts of an enemy force to destroy piece-meal in combat.[4]
