Seth Davis was the commanding officer of the 222nd Assault as of 3052.[1][2]

History[edit]

Operation REVIVAL[edit]

Two Clusters from Gamma were among the five Khan Ian Hawker bid for the Battle of Tukayyid, assigned to take the secondary target city of Urcunat. Unprepared for the Com Guard Eighth Army's tactics, both Clusters found their advance stalled and were reassigned to combat attacks from Thirty-first, Fifty-sixth and Eighty-fifth Divisions against the Sharks supply lines. Winning the bid to destroy the raiders, the 222nd Assault Cluster quickly encountered the green Eighty-fifth Division, but neither side were able to gain the advantage over the other as the fighting became increasingly brutal.[3][4][5][6]

After the Eighty-fifth tied up the Shark's supply lines for an entire day, Star Colonel Seth Davis's patience ran out, breaking batchall to order the 369th Striker Cluster to assist in obliterating the infuriating Eighty-Fifth, and by doing so ended the Sharks' following zellbrigen on the battlefield.[7] While the Eighty-fifth finally crumbled in the face of both Clusters, the victory was especially costly for the Sharks with the doomed division taking the 222nd down with them and the Thirty-first and Fifty-sixth Divisions avenging the sacrifice of the Eighty-fifth by tearing the 369th apart. The losses suffered by both Clusters were so extensive that the Diamond Shark Khans opted to disband both, dispersing their survivors to other Clusters, primarily Alpha Galaxy's Thirty-Ninth Striker.[3][4][5][6]

It is not known whether he died with his unit.[citation needed]
