The Thorin FTM has its roots in the Thorin planetary militia of 3062. In that year they rebelled against the rule of Katherine Steiner-Davion and fought the First Battalion of the Fifteenth Arcturan Guards for control of Thorin. They were disbanded in late 3062, when they re-formed themselves as the First Thorin Regiment, nicknamed "Archer's Avengers" after their commander Archer Christifori.[1]

The Avengers were teamed with the Knights of St. Cameron to strike at the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone world of Baker 3. The Avengers and their allies would encounter the Seventh Talon and Eighth Talon Clusters instead of the Garrison cluster in April 3069. The Falcon Clusters flanked both sides of the Avengers' forces in a squeeze play. However, the Eighth Talon were struck in the flank themselves by the Knights give the Avengers relief. The Avengers then fell back to their DropShip with half of their numbers gone or missing, including their commanding officer General Archer Christifori.[3] The Seventh Talons would be destroyed after the fighting on Baker 3.
The Thorin FTM survivors and the Knights of St. Cameron joined up with the Twenty-fifth Arcturan Guards on Great X where they helped to bolster Lyran forces fighting the incursion. Delta Galaxy struck with four Clusters of forces and only the First Falcon Strikers survived to withdraw.[4][5]
