History

Formation

4th Succession War

War of 3039

Led by Field Marshal Ardan Sortek the 17th Avalon Hussars and the 1st Davion Guards attacked An Ting. The 17th took five thousand prisoners during the attack.[1] Several DCMS troops were able to escape death or capture, however, and led insurgent attacks against the AFFS troops. In late July Ryuken-roku landed on An Ting under the command of Tai-sa Dechan Fraser. Ryuken-roku struck at the largest AFFS prisoner of war camp, freeing thousands of DCMS troops. The Hussars and Davion Guards still had control of much of the planet however. That changed two weeks later when Tai-shu Kester Hsiun Chi arrived on An Ting with Ryuken-yon and several regiments of conventional forces. Field Marshal Sortek ordered the AFFS forces to retreat.[2]
