Blue Star Irregulars

1894th Light Horse: keepers of the flame

BACK

The 1894th Light Horse is renowned for its loyalty to its fellow Blue Star regiments and House Davion. The 1894th helped rebuild the twenty-first Rim Worlds and the Avatars and instituted a massive program to train both regiments in anti-Clan tactics following the near-destruction of the shattered units on Ft. Loudon and Quarrel.

The 1894th showed its loyalty to House Davion when Katherine Steiner-Davion invited the Irregulars to support her shortly after the formation of the Lyran Alliance in 3057. Claiming that she would never have sent them to the Clan front without adequate preparation - as she accused her brother, Victor Davion, of doing - she suggested that the unit remain in Lyran space as a most-favored command. The 1894th sent Katherine a cryptic reply in early 3058: The Blue Star Irregulars will forever support a rightful claim to the Federated Commonwealth. The unit then abandoned Rasalgethi and moved to Morges, where it now garrisons the center of the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon. That action forced Katherine to scramble to put a new garrison unit into place before Clan jade Falcon realized that Rasalgethi stood undefended.

The Light Horse regimental insignia is a galloping white and brown pinto, facing to the right, which is painted on the lower right torsos of the 'Mechs. Sparks and silver-blue stars surround its feet as if struck from the ground on which it runs - the stars trail out behind it in a swath across the entire lower torso of the 'Mech. Stars are outlined in red for every kill a machine has acquired. Aerospace fighters replace the pinto with a light blue Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek myth; armor unit insignia features a Clydesdale.

Dragoons Rating: A*

Tactics

The 1894th can keep to a tight formation even when moving at high speeds. The unit often uses this capability to take an enemy unaware, striking from flank positions where enemy forces commonly stretch themselves too thin. Unfortunately, Blue Star armor frequently lag behind the main Irregular forces during such attacks.
