History

Around 3059 the Cluster was involved in a fierce defensive engagement which resulted in Galaxy Commander Curtis being severely injured. Curtis refused to surrender command, and the Cluster was split into two camps: those who supported Curtis, and those who supported Star Captain Carmen, commanding officer of Beta Trinary.[1] The Third was stationed on the clan world of Atreus in 3067.[2]

The Third were on Gotterdammerung in December 3071 when the Hell's Horse assaulted the planet, they managed to retreat.[3]

Mercenaries

During the retreat from the Inner Sphere in 3072 the Hellions were ambushed by Clan Burrock's Zeta Galaxy resulting in the loss of three of their five JumpShips.[4] One of the JumpShips was the Permafrost, a Tramp-class vessel carrying a Trinary of warriors and their equipment from the Third Hector Cavaliers. In 3075 the Clan Goliath Scorpion Watch reported sighting of this missing unit operating as a mercenary force near San Mateo and still using their original equipment and insignia.[5]


Officers

As of 3059 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Curtis.[1]

As of 3067 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Philippe Lienet.[2]

Tactics

Because of aging equipment, the Cavaliers engage in hit-and-run attacks.[1]
