Unit History
"We are the claws of the Federated Commonwealth...."
A new hope
The Inner Sphere lost thousands of bases and infantry to this threat until 3048. A group of professors managed to clone the clans equipment. This lead to the development of new chassis and weapons, the Bushwacker was one of the first invented. Although the Inner Sphere had this marvelous new equipment, there was no one to take it to the battle field. Thus was born.... The Davion Knights. We had the privligde of testing this new equipment on the clans.
The Succession Wars (SSW)
We played a vital role in the Succession Wars. If it was not for us and our allegiance to the Royal House Steiner. Tharkad and half the Inner Sphere would be rubble now. In 3061, Our Founder and forefather, Robourte Gulliman. Was ordered to Send half our ranks to Eisoaphera. A small industrial planet located some light years from Tharkad. Where they stayed awaiting the clans invasion of Tharkad. There they stayed for several weeks until they detected a small scout force coming up over the ridge. Gulliman sent his force to engage unknowing of the clans trickery he stepped into a trap. About two tenth of the entire clan forces know was there (thats about 11 regiments to 10). This was known as the bloodiest battle ever. But our forefathers fought hard in that hopeless battle, and even though they lost against impossible odds, we will always remember them for their courage and valour which gave the rest of The Davion Knights the courage to cause the clans retreat.
"Go towards the heavens Gulliman, take your regiment onwards and protect us from the evil up down here".
Age of Strife
Its been 75 long years since the Succession Wars. 75 Years since Robourte Gulliman and his regiment gave their life to save Tharkad and half the Inner Sphere. If it was not for them You would be reading this in a clan re-education camp. Although the SWars are over the Inner Sphere faced 30 years of strife. In these years the clans were on their last leg, forced to the far reaches of the galaxy. Where they stayed trying to regain their numbers. In hope that one day they will once again return to vanquish the Sphere and all in it.
"This is their home now. We are the ones who face extinction". Colonel Christian Reeves, commanding officer of the 102nd company of Knights.
She and her followers joined the rest of the Inner Sphere to wipe out the clans on their own turf.
Final Stand
Now that we were on their planet, their home we had to be extra careful. The first mission Reeves was assigned was the destruction of the Comm-relays. These were positioned in a large fortified base, for if these were not destroyed the clans could call for re-inforcements. Reeves detroyed them alright, along with herself and a few others. Now that the commanding officer was dead The Davion Knights looked towards a new leader by the name of Andrew Steiner. He was the brother of Adam Steiner, the famous 1st Summerset Strikers. They were an independent force allowed free travel through the galaxy. Now Andrew wasn't only related to Adam, he was also a long cousin of Melissa Steiner. The Archon of Tharkad.
Andrew lead the Knights onwards to victory when they were reunited with the rest of the Inner Sphere for the final conquest, the destruction of Osias. The capital for the clans. Its not known what went on in that time, but it is said that Andrew was captured and tortured and that the Knights grew more independent. Perhaps that explains what we're like today......?
