History
The home world Of the Davion Heavy Guards is Galax. In early 3014 Hanse Davion lead the 34th Avalon Hussars, 10th Deneb Light Cavalry and the Davion Heavy Guards in an attack against the toxic world Halstead Station attempting to destroy the large Draconis Combine supply depot being built there. The defending 9th Dieron Regulars and 2nd Proserpina Hussars regiments failing to stop the destruction of the supply depot still managed to keep all three AFFS regiments tied up until Takashi Kurita could arrive with the fresh 2nd Sword of Light.

As of 3055, they were apparently stationed along the Clan Border, where it was said they had a vendetta against Clan Jade Falcon. At one point, they were planning an operation to retake Black Earth from the Falcons, and as such were considered a prime candidate for new Federated Commonwealth 'mech designs.[1]
During Operation Bulldog, the Heavy Guards were committed by Prince Victor Ian Steiner-Davion to the new SLDF. They saw action against Clan Smoke Jaguar on Asgard and Schuyler.[2] It was on Schuyler that they fought alongside Prince Victor and the 10th Lyran Guards.
Afterward, the Heavy Guards would eventually return to Galax. At the start of the FedCom Civil War, they were briefly stranded there due to Katherine Steiner-Davion stripping them of their transport. As a result, the were unable to prevent the destruction of the 1st Davion Guards on New Avalon. They later joined Prince Victor and his allies for the Second Battle of New Avalon, where they finally removed Katherine from power. The Guards played a critical role, destroying Katherine's potential escape transport in a drive that essentially destroyed the unit for a time.[3]
The unit later saw action during the Blakist Jihad, fighting in the Third Battle of New Avalon.
