History

Formation

The Thirteenth was built from the remains of the shattered 9th Sun Zhang Academy Cadre and the 12th Sun Zhang Academy Cadre. New academy graduates serve to fill out the balance of the unit.[1]

4th Succession War


Ronin Wars


War of 3039


Clan Invasion

The one of the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy's cadre units, cadets assigned to the 13th Sun Zhang Academy Cadre are put to the ultimate test by seeing real combat.[1]

Operation Bulldog


Dominion War

The 13th Cadre was based on Luthien at the beginning of this fight but launched a preemptive strike on the Ghost Bear world of Porthos. There they engaged the 5th Phalanx.[2] They then redeployed to Komephoros.[3]

Federated Suns Incursion


Jihad

During the Jihad the Thirteenth SZAC spent most of it's time traveling along the Combine-Ghost Bear Dominion border, including Idlewind and Kiamba. These trips were to deter any renegade Rasalhaugian units from raiding the Combine. At the same time, the more experienced warriors of the Thirteenth Cadre were shuttled to Kessel to replace losses suffered by the 5th Sun Zhang Academy Cadre. These warriors were replaced by new graduates from the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy.[4]

Officers

The commanding officer in 3059 is Tai-sa Vincent Foley[1]. He was still in command in 3067.[5]
