−	===Clan Invasion===
−	Following the destruction of the [[Twenty-first Rim Worlds Regiment]] on [[Fort Loudon]] by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in [[3054]], the Avatars and [[1894th Light Horse Regiment]] received permission from [[Marshal of the Armies]] [[Morgan Hasek-Davion]] to launch a retaliatory raid against [[Quarell]] in the [[Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone]] in [[3055]].<ref name=FMMp40>''Field Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 40: "Blue Star Irregulars: The Return of Kerensky"</ref><ref name=FMMRp46>''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'', p. 46: "Blue Star Irregulars Unit Brief"</ref> The Irregulars ignored the Falcons' transmissions requesting that they participate in a ''[[batchall]]'', allowing the Falcons to use their entire force in the Quarell system (three [[Cluster|Clusters]], a ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class [[WarShip]], and its escorting [[OmniFighter|OmniFighters]] against the Irregulars and the [[Hell's Black Aces]].  The Avatars were destroyed after being trapped by two Falcon Clusters.<ref name=FMMp40/>
−
−	Colonel [[Alexander Duff-Gordon]], commander 1894th Light Horse and the Irregulars overall, decided to finally follow Clan traditions to extricate his people. The 1894th captured a large Falcon supply dump, and Colonel Duff-Gordon issues a ''batchall'', demanding the return of all Irregulars taken as bondsmen, all captured Blue Star medals, and safe passage back to FedCom space if he won a Trial of Possession, and offering to return the captured WarShip and supplies if he lost. [[Star Colonel]] [[Padrick Shi-Lu]] accepted Duff Gordon's ''batchall''.  Colonel Duff-Gordon led two lances of Irregulars against Star Colonel Shi-lu and a Star of Falcons. The Irregulars won the Trial, at the cost of six of their MechWarriors, including Colonel Duff-Gordon. The Irregulars retreated to Rasalgethi.<ref name=FMMp40/>
−
−	The survivors of the Avatars were transferred to the Twenty-first Rim Worlds Regiment, and its second 'Mech battalion was renamed the Avatars of Painful Death.<ref name=FMMp43>''Field Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 43: "21st Rim Worlds Unit Profile"</ref> At the time, the Irregulars hoped to rebuild the Avatars as a regiment using the Twenty-first Rim Worlds' second battalion as its core.<ref name=FMMp43/>
