History

The homeworld of the 39th Avalon Hussars was Newtown Square.

Formation

4th Succession War

The 39th moved to Lee to act as a reserve force, but wasn't called on to engage the CCAF.[1]

War of 3039

The 39th was based on Freedom, along with several other AFFS and LCAF units, as part of a group that would strike in planned later waves of the invasion. Those plans were aborted however, and the 39th would see no action in the War of 3039.[2]

Clan Invasion

The 39th completed several combat resupply missions to resistance forces on Bone-Norman, Somerset, and Black Earth. These efforts, though successful, cost the 39th about a third of its DropShips.[3]

Operations Guerrero and Bulldog

Civil War

The 39th allied with Victor Steiner-Davion, but didn't relocate to the Federated Suns. On Newtown Square, they split into several smaller hunter teams. When the 14th Donegal Guards arrived, the 39th led them on a chase across the world. The 39th regrouped and fought the 14th, facing destruction at the Lyran unit's guns, but the timely arrival of the 244th Division allowed Victor Steiner-Davion and the 39th to take the 14th Donegal prisoner. Victor stripped the 14th of their transport assets and gave them to the 39th, leaving the 14th in place on Newtown Square to defend against the Clans.[4] The 39th used their new JumpShips to land on Coventry, Where they destroyed the 1st Coventry Jaegers[5] Shortly thereafter they linked up with the 6th Crucis Lancers and took control of Alarion.[6] Once relieved by the 7th Crucis Lancers they went to Tharkad to support Peter Steiner-Davion in the Lyran Alliance.[7] Though they didn't take place in the final battle of Tharkad, they did remain in orbit as reserve troops.[8] [9] They later returned to the Federated Suns and were stationed on Wernke-Talon.[10]
