Unit Description
The Syrtis Avengers formed during the Jihad, becoming the newest unit of the Syrtis Fusiliers. Syrtis Avengers are Combined-Arms force used original as regional force for the Capellan March of the Federated Suns.
History
During the Jihad the Syrtis Fusiliers were heavily damaged. The AFFS High Command ordered the Capellan March commander to rebuild the Fusilier RCTs as Light Combat Teams, but Nathanial Hasek refused. Instead he tried to rebuild the existing Fusilier RCTs to full strength. This proved impossible, but to save face he created the Syrtis Avengers unit, a lighter, more responsive unit that happened to follow the organizational pattern of the Light Combat Team.[1]
The Syrtis Avengers were formed by combining BattleMech assets from the 8th Syrtis Fusiliers with armor and infantry assets from the 6th Syrtis Fusiliers. This led to some integration issues.[1] Since their formation in 3079, the Syrtis Avengers threw themselves into every fight they could possibly reach. The unit's BattleMech contingent would often attack the enemy before their heavy armor support had even left their DropShips. This led to the unit losing two commanders under fire.[2]
During Operation MATADOR the Syrtis Avengers accompanied Nathaniel Hasek and the Illician Lancers 59th Regiment to Ridgebrook. There they fought the Concordat Jaegers[3], but ultimately had to give up the world.[4] During the Ridgebrook campaign, the Avengers butted heads with the Illician Lancers, causing a great deal of problems. The death of Nathanial Hasek on Ridgebrook enraged the Avengers, they only left the planet after receiving a direct order from Duchess Angela Hasek.[5] In 3085 they were stationed on Verlo.[6]
