Fourth Succession War
During the Fourth Succession War the 22nd Avalon Hussars garrisoned Quentin.[1]
War of 3039
Landing on Telos IV, the 22nd Avalon Hussars and the 12th Vegan Rangers Delta Regiment quickly overcame the DCMS defenders. Though they were supposed to be relieved by MPs and garrison troops, those forces were delayed. This forced the 22nd to become peacekeepers, a role they weren't suited for. The native population just snubbed the Federated Suns troops.[2] The arrival of the 2nd Benjamin Regulars was the match that lit the fuse on Telos IV. Landing approximately 100 kilometers away from the main spaceport, the Hussars and Rangers were slowly drawn away from the capital in an attempt to destroy the 2nd Benjamin. Once they were far enough away, the 41st Dieron Regulars landed at the main spaceport. The 41st captured most of the Federated DropShips and supplies, but lost a third of their forces in the process. The 22nd Avalon Hussars broke contact with the 2nd Benjamin Regulars and focused their attention on the 41st Dieron Regulars. A series of frontal assaults saw the Avalon Hussars destroy the 41st Dieron Regulars, but they lost nearly half their troops in the process.[3] Unable to make repairs or capture supplies, the 22nd Hussars and 12th Vegan Rangers withdrew from Telos IV.[4]
Clan Invasion
During the Clan Invasion the 22nd Avalon Hussars defended the Lyran Commonwealth worlds along the Clan Jade Falcon invasion corridor. After the Truce of Tukayyid they continued to serve as a raiding force, stinging the Falcons and Clan Wolf forces in a series of raids. Though successful, they lost many men and machines during the six year tour on the Clan front.[5]
Operation Guerrero
After the formation of the Lyran Alliance the 22nd Avalon Hussars relocated from Lyran space back to the Federated Suns.[6] They didn't participate in Operation Guerrero.
Operation Bulldog
The 22nd didn't participate in Operation Bulldog.[citation needed]
Civil War
The 22nd Avalon Hussars didn't care for Katherine Steiner-Davion's politics, but as soldiers they were honor-bound to uphold the chain of command.[7] The homeworld of the 22nd Avalon Hussars was Bromhead, a posting they shared with the 2nd Davion Guards. To prevent the two units from coming to blows, they both left the world. The 22nd Hussars landed on Talon, where they fought the 7th FedCom RCT.[8] After losing two battalions of Mechs and 2 battalions of infantry, the 7th FedCom stopped attacking the 22nd's fortified positions.[9] The 22nd was content to hold a defensive position for most of the time, only striking at the 7th long enough to allow shipments from Kallon Industries to escape the world. As soon as the ships were safely away, the 22nd immediately resumed a defensive stance.[10] After learning of the attack on New Syrtis however, the 22nd went on the attack. By surrounding the 7th FedCom with several mixed battalions, the 22nd inflicted serious damage on the 7th FedCom and nearly captured the entire unit but the 7th was able to escape.[11] The 22nd returned to their defensive positions, and shortly faced an unexpected combat drop by the 7th. The 7th, under orders to pin the 22nd on Talon, dropped directly on top of the 22nd's positions. This allowed the 7th to concentrate their fire on the dispersed Hussar units and inflict serious losses.[12] This conflict saw the destruction of the 7th FedCom, but cost the 22nd Avalon Hussars more than 80% of their combat forces and at least 75% of their DropShips.[13]
The 22nd also dispatched a brigade of troops to New Avalon to defend the Archon, but that unit was destroyed. In 3067, they were rebuilding on Crofton with materials produced on Talon.[14]
Jihad
Though the 22nd wanted to rescue New Avalon from the Word of Blake siege, their commanders kept them in place to defend Crofton's factories. Shortly thereafter the Filtvelt Coalition formed, and the region suffered from a large number of pirate attacks. This was sufficient for the 22nd to vent their frustration and keep the unit in fighting trim.[15] In 3076 the severely understrength 22nd Avalon Hussars, along with the FSS New Syrtis, were redeployed to New Syrtis. There they absorbed the remains of the 20th Avalon Hussars to rebuild themselves.[16]
In 3079 the 22nd was transferred to New Avalon to serve as the capital world's garrison.[15]
Officers
As of 3062 the commanding officer was Marshal Donna Iona, who had been in command since 3053[17]. She was later promoted and Vice Admiral Solomon D'Angelo assumed command.[18]
Tactics
The 22nd Avalon Hussars lacked any tactical specialties. Instead the focused on being skilled in a variety of terrains and environments.[17]
