Contents
Unit History
The Blue Star Irregulars chose to serve under House Davion after their initial creation and remained in service with House Davion throughout most of their existence.
Clan Invasion
Following the creation of the Federated Commonwealth, the Irregulars were thrown at the Clans. Clan Jade Falcon mauled the unit badly. Owing to their support of Victor Steiner-Davion, the Irregulars moved to the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon. In a subsequent action, they captured a Fredasa-class WarShip from the Falcons with the help of Hell's Black Aces, which they christened Kerensky's Blues. As such, they were the only mercenary unit to field a WarShip outside of Wolf's Dragoons. Unlike the Dragoons, the Irregulars did not have the resources to maintain the vessel.
During the Jade Falcon incursion of 3064, the Blue Star Irregulars were deployed to support the lyran units operating in the Jade Falcon occupation zone. Their task was to garrison the worlds the lyrans had conquered.
The Blue Star Irregulars also took part in the invasion of Tharkad in 3067. Their warship was heavily damaged fighting a Fox-class corvette. Later, the Blue Star Irregulars were badly damaged when they fell victim to an ambush by the 11th Arcturan Guards.
Jihad
The Blue Star Irregulars were on Black Earth when Tharkad was attacked by Word of Blake. They were left there to defend against the Falcons. True to form, the Falcons took advantage of the Lyran Alliance's distraction to launch an invasion. Most of the unit was destroyed in January 3069 when Kerensky's Blues was unable to protect a fleeing flotillas of Irregulars and civilians who did not want to live under Clan rule. Though the mercenary vessel was able to destroy one Clan WarShip, the second annihilated most of the DropShips and JumpShips, then returned to finish it off. With only about a company of troops left, the Blue Star Irregulars disbanded. Some simply retired, while other joined different merc outfits on Arc-Royal.[1]
