History

Operation Revival

The Forty-fourth Cavaliers fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:

Wave Five

Tukayyid

...

Operation Bulldog

Stationed on Itabaiana, the Forty-fourth were challenged to a soccer game by the Fifth Sun Zhang Cadre for control of the world. The Sun Zhang troops won the game, and the world.[1]

Post-Abjuration

The cluster was still stationed on Itabaiana in 3062.[2] The Cluster was training on Tukayyid in 3063 when the Ghost Bear's launched their offensive against the Draconis Combine. The Cavaliers along with the rest of Delta Galaxy invaded the Ghost Bear Dominion. [3] By 3067 the Cluster had moved to take position on Tabayama.[4]

The Jihad

The Cavaliers as part of Delta Galaxy saw action early in Operation SCOUR, serving on the Federated Suns front as a part of Group III that attacked Tybalt in early 3077, when it was targeted in the first wave of assaults that made up the Federated Suns front.[5] In May 3077 they took part in the assault on Tigress. Capellan guerrilla fighters detonated a number of dirty nuclear devices causing Delta Galaxy and the Forty-fourth to suffer massive casualties.[6] In 3079 the Cluster was on Outreach. [7]

The Republic Era

In 3081 the Forty-fourth Cavaliers along with the rest of Delta Galaxy were gifted to Devin Stone's forming Republic Armed Forces.[8]
