=== Star League Era ===
The '''Thirteenth Avalon Hussars''' was one of the more specialized regiments within the Avalon Hussars during the [[Star League era]]. Unusually for a primarily [[BattleMech]] formation, the Thirteenth specialized in underwater combat, and many of the troops of the Thirteenth had gone so far as to field-modify their rides to mount more energy weapons as a consequence.<ref name="FR:FS2765p8">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 8: "Avalon Hussars"</ref>

=== First Succession War ===
When the [[First Succession War]] erupted, the Thirteenth were stationed on [[Xhosa VII]]. The Thirteenth were subsequently destroyed during the War, one of seven Avalon Hussars regiments to be wiped out during the thirty-five year conflict.<ref name="FSWp134"/> The former commanding officer of the Thirteenth, [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] E. Dryer, had suspected that the [[DCMS]] was building up forces for a major action, and had been vocally warning everyone that the Combine was poised for an attack. His efforts to convince others became so vocal and so strident that he was subject to court martial and demoted three ranks, to [[Colonel]], for assaulting a [[Field Marshal]] who disagreed with him. Colonel Dryer was one of the first killed in action when the Combine invasion he'd predicted began.<ref name=HDFSp61/>
