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.[1][2] 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 Clusters, a Fredasa-class WarShip, and its escorting OmniFighters against the Irregulars and the Hell's Black Aces. The Avatars were destroyed after being trapped by two Falcon Clusters.[1]
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 Irregular personnel 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 lost of six of their MechWarriors, including Colonel Duff-Gordon. The Irregulars retreated to Rasalgethi.[1].
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.[3] At the time, the Irregulars hoped to rebuild the Avatars as a regiment using the Twenty-first Rim Worlds' second battalion as its core.[3]
