History
The Third Falcon Velites garrisoned the Jade Falcon mining enclave on York until shortly after the Burrock Absorption in 3059. The Seventeenth and Seventy-Ninth Crimson Guards of Clan Blood Spirit attacked the Third, which abandoned the near-worthless mine after a token engagement.[2]
By 3067 the Third Velites had been transferred to Eden, where they were destroyed in late 3069 by Clan Steel Viper's Gamma Galaxy.[3] [1]
Dark Age
By the Jade Falcon desant of 3134 the Third Falcon Velites had been re-formed. Under the personal command of Aleksandr Hazen they took part in Zeta Galaxy's attacks on Porrima and Summer.[4] [5]
Garrisoned on Lyons since at least 3145, the Third was hit by a previously-unknown RAF unit, the Eleventh Hastati Sentinels, during Operation SHOFAR in 3149. The Velites fought hard for three days before being forced off the planet.[6] [7]
