Leftenant General Pakpao Suttikul was the commander of the Seventeenth Avalon Hussars, with the Federated Suns, from at least 3122 until 3145.[1][2]

History[edit]

Taking over the Seventeenth Avalon Hussars in 3122, following the retirement of General Daman Zibler, Suttikul continued Zibler's work of building the unit into a prime fighting outfit. This was not enough however to stop the momentum of the invading Capellan Confederation in 3144 during their Operation CELESTIAL REWARD, forcing Suttikul to concede Spica, and retreat to Fortymile.[2][1]

Immediately attacked upon landing on Fortymile by the St. Ives Sentinels, who had launched a deep strike based on secret intelligence, the combat strength of the Seventeenth was further degraded.[3] Left to seek replacement equipment from Kathil or Salem, it was not considered Leftenant General Suttikul was likely to be able to conduct any offensive operations for some time.[1] The Seventeenth's losses in the fighting with the Sentinels included Suttikul's own BattleMech, with the Second St. Ives Sentinels taking both its legs with them as salvage when they withdrew to Highspire.[4]
