1FSAC has been around longer than most of the units in the game at this time.

Our roots start in the original Battletech EGA game that was run by Genini where game play was priced by the hour of play. In the EGA game, players communicated via phone long distance to one another to set up times to play together, as the servers were also long distance in themselves. At this time, our unit was known as House Of Shadows Of Davion. Due to cost of such gaming, solid organization was required to play together at specific times so the most was made out of the gaming experience.

Sometime later, the game Multiplayer Battletech SOLARIS was introduced. It brought forth the first of VGA graphics and House of Shadows followed together into this new game. This new game that our unit played together was hosted on America Online as AOL had contracts with Kesmai and Gamestorm to support a multiplayer portion of their community. Still holding the House Of Shadows name on AOL, our unit was one of, if not THE largest unit in the house of Davion.

As time transpired and our unit grew, we were awarded a medal of honor as a Davion Elite Force. This medal was a starburst symbol placed upon two bars to be worn on our uniform for role play aspect of the game. As a unit, we decided to wear this symbol in our handles, hence the beginnings of the =*= sign in our names.

During a time of tribulation, our unit fell into a divisionary state and a civil war ensued. This division all but destroyed our unit, making two smaller, less powerful and less effective units. The beginning of HoS/DAV and HOS/ST were the namesakes taken. Due to so much confusion as to the units origins and connections, we decided at the time of leaving AOL and joining up on GameStorm to play, that we needed to change the name. Start a fresh new outlook to the unit and make it so that the wounds of old could possiblely be healed.

With our names and uniforms remaining as much the same as before, we decided to take the name ELITE as our medal we wear for service to House Davion. Many thought we were a completely new unit that was started by old players, when in reality we were the same old group, same friends trying to take a new look and insert new blood into the unit with a clean slate. Our times together as =*= ELITE =*= were great and continued as we got ready for a new game approaching (Multiplayer Battletech 3025).

Although we still carried the name =*= ELITE =*= as our calling, we have taken on a secondary name to be officially affliated with the new game house structure. Low and behold, the First Federated Suns Armored Cavalry.. or rather.. ‹Grin›.. the ELITE First Federated Suns Armored Cavalry was made known.

The time in waiting for this new game to come we showed great talent and ability to all within the MPBT community, but the new game we waited for stalled... then was scrapped.

This presented difficulties for our unit but our presence would reach into other games such as MechWarrior 4, DeltaForce, UltimtaOnline, Crysis and many others.. A new level of game skill was within reach.

Stand tall, stand strong, and stand with pride as we are... =*= 1FSAC ... Go forth and bear your names to all and bow to no one but our House.. the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns.. the New Davion has begun, and 1FSAC will be laying the foundation for it's future!!!!
