History
As of 3025, the unit was based on Nopah.[1] The 33rd Avalon Hussars took part in the fighting for Galtor III.[2] They spent much of their time guarding the Star League depot found on the world.
4th Succession War
Liao
During the First Wave the unit invaded Liao in support of all three regiments of the Blue Star Irregulars. They were opposed by several veteran CCAF units including Warrior House Lu Sann, 1st Confederation Reserve Cavalry, Vincent's Commandos and the Protectorate Guard.
The 1st Blue Star Irregulars regiment defeated Vincent's Commandos after a short battle.
The 33rd Avalon Hussars forced the 1st Confederation Reserve Cavalry to retreat.
The 2nd Blue Star Irregular regiment destroyed the 1st Battalion of Warrior House Lu Sann after a fierce fight.
The 3rd Blue Star Irregular regiment was attacked after probing raids from the Reserve Cavalry. The merc unit followed them into an ambush through the Protectorate Guard.
The Avalon Hussars tried to close the gap around the CCAF forces but were hindered by the Reserve Cavalry. The special forces of the elite Warrior House used the chaos to a raid behind the lines of the AFFS forces. Only reinforcement through the arrival of the Redfield Renegades changed the tide of battle to the FedSuns side. The mercs entered the Forbidden City. These event was the signal to all remaining Liao forces to retreat. Only one Battalion each from the Warrior House and the Reserve Cavalry together with the Protectorate Guard left the planet.
Genoa
