Major General James McEvedy was an SLDF officer that joined the Exodus Fleet.[1]
History
Early Life
McEvedy was a native on the Minnesota region, on Terra's North America continent, and by 2764 had risen to command the 331st Royal BattleMech Division. The Division recruited mostly from North America, and so had a tradition where its insignia used the outline of its current CO's home region from that continent, which was therefore Minnesota during the final years of the Star League.[1]
Operation EXODUS
After the fall of the Star League in 2781, Commanding General Alexander Kerensky began recruiting SLDF forces to join him in leaving the Inner Sphere. One of the many units answering Kerensky's call was the 331st Royal BattleMech Division, its commander with them. On November 5, 2784, 80% of the SLDF departed with Kerensky in his Exodus.
In 2786, the Exodus Fleet reached the Cloak of Kerensky and the later-named Pentagon Worlds. The 331st became part of the group that colonized the planet Circe. In 2801, the Exodus Civil War broke out and Nicholas Kerensky called for a Second Exodus. What remained of the 331st rallied to Nicholas' cause and departed with him to form a new society: the Clans.[1]
