The first battle in the history of the Inner Sphere to involve BattleMechs also involved the 801st; a [[lance]] of Mackies led by [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Amanda Cunningham]]<ref name=XTROPVp8/> from the 801st faced a company of armored vehicles from the [[Draconis Combine]] on the planet [[Styx]], which the Kuritans were attempting to raid.<ref name="ED:AOWp5"/> The 'Mechs from the 801st easily handled the Combine tanks and their infantry support outside the city of Barbados; faced with the new Hegemony weapons on a battlefield marred by wet weather conditions and mud, only a single Combine tank and a few infantry were left alive from the raiding party at the end of the battle. This overwhelming victory proved to most that BattleMech technology would be decisive in future battles.<ref>''Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)'', p. 44: "Styk"</ref>
