11th Alshain Avengers
History
The 11th Alshain Avengers is a unit comprised of the remains of units that were originally part of the Alshain Regulars prior to Clan Invasion. They participated in Operation Bulldog in 3059.
In mid 3062, the 11th was assigned to the world Yamarovka where they began months of cross-training with the newly formed Zeta Provisional Galaxy of Clan Nova Cat. The Avengers fought a series of exercises with new unit, including 1st Dragoncat Cluster. The Dragoncats trained closely with the 11th's Third Battalion and its commanding officer doubled as a liaison officer to the Nova Cat unit.
Unknown to the Draconis Combine's High Command, the 11th was ordered by Tai-shu Toshimichi Uchida, who was influenced by Duke Ricol, to join invasion of former district capital of Alshain in late September.
On October 1st, the 1st Dragoncats blocked 11th from going to their dropships, asking they wait 48 hours for them to confirm the order. With their invasion on a strict timetable, the 11th attacked the Dragoncats in deadly night battle in midst of gale force thunderstorm. Both sides devastated each other in the conflict, but the numerically superior Avengers soon gained the upper hand.
Eventually a mechwarrior from the Dragoncats named Zane challenged the third's commanding officer, Palmer Yoshio to Ritual of Zellbrigen, with he accepted. Yoshio, feeling sorry for his former comrade, offered Hegira to him. Unfortunately, one of Yoshio's men, furious at offer of hegira, killed Zane with an autocannon shot to his Pack Hunter's head, decapitating the mech. This blatant violation of Zellbrigen provoked the rest of Zeta Provisional Galaxy, which had until then remained on the sidelines, into attacking the 11th in full force.
Hopelessly outmatched and unable to reach the dropships, Yoshio ordered his forces to pull back and by November the 11th was reduced fighting guerrilla actions.[1] Later that month, Sigma and Omega Galaxies of Clan Ghost Bear arrived on Yamarovka and completely destroyed the remaining forces of the regiment.[2]
Officers
- As of 3059, the Elevenths commanding officer was Tai-sa Tracy Miyazaki[3]
- Third Battalion, Commanded by Chu-sa Palmer Yoshio
Tactics
The Eleventh's only specialty is an all-out assault, rushing enemy lines, employing physical attacks, and firing weapons even to the risk of overheating their 'Mechs.
