FEDERATED SUNS ARMORED CAVALRY
"The First Armored Cavalry is a highly mobile fighting unit consisting of elite MechWarriors and fighter pilots. It was Prince lan Davion who decided to create a ‘Mech regiment so fast and powerful that it could easily overrun most enemy positions before an effective defense could be mounted. To to do this, he assembled a regiment of ‘Mechs chosen for their speed as well as their weapons. As a complement to their speed, he organized a wing of heavy AeroSpace Fighters whose pilots were as skilled in air to ground tactics as they were against enemy fighters. Prince lan’s idea has proven effective. As a raiding force, the Federated Suns Armored Cavalry has few peers, but their success is often achieved only at great cost in machinery and men, which is why there is only the single regiment.
The unit insignia of the First Armored Cavalry is a variation on the Federated Sunburst. Its nickname is Point of the Sword."
