History[edit]
Dark Age[edit]
The Eleventh Falcon Velites was formed no later than 3143 where it took part in the 3143 battle for Tharkad.[1][2][3] They apparently sustained heavy damage in that conflict as two years later they were still only at half strength.[4] The following June they raided Cameron, hoping to cut their teeth against the Wolf Hunters only to have them flee before them. Despite the Cameron militia offering little challenge, they had not anticipated conquest and had to return home with the world still in Lyran hands.[5] And some later point Cameron was taken by the Falcons, though it is unknown if the Eleventh was given the honor.[6] In 3148 the Eleventh invaded Coventry with the rest of Delta Galaxy.[7]
ilClan[edit]
During the Battle of Terra on 17 February Delta Galaxy was advancing on Frankfurt with the Eleventh as the lead element. The heavy 110th Assault Regiment waited until the unit came within range and then unleashed multiple volleys on the Eleventh and Delta as a whole.[8]
