History

Age of War

The Fifth Avalon Hussars was one of the fourteen active regiments on the rolls of the Avalon Hussars brigade when the end of the Age of War was marked by the creation of the Star League and the formation of the Star League Defense Force. In common with the other regiments of the Hussars, the Fifth traced its roots back to the Terran Marines of the Terran Alliance, and those ties were strong enough that the Fifth was one of six regiments to join the SLDF[1] when it formed in 2571.When the Star League formed in 2571,[2] The brigade was proud enough of this that it listed the six regiments - the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth Hussars - as simply being on detached duty, and it would be more than half a millennium before new units would be created with the designation of any of these regiments.[1]

Dark Age

The Fifth Avalon Hussars LCT was equipped with large numbers of fast tanks and 'Mechs in 3145. Their 'Mechs were all jump-capable and most could top one hundred km/h over land. They used this speed to great effect when they faced the Third Capellan Chargers on Cammal in 3145. The Fifth was able to match the Charger's speed, and as a result spoiled every one of their strikes.[3]
