Thorin Freedom Theater Militia

History

The Thorin FTM has its roots in the Thorin planetary militia of 3062. In that year they rebelled against the rule of Katherine Steiner-Davion and fought the First Battalion of the 15th Arcturan Guards for control of Thorin. They were disbanded in late 3062, when they reformed themselves as to the 1st Thorin Regiment, nicknamed Archer's Avengers.

In 3067 it's officially back on the list as Thorin FTM.

As of 1st August 3067, the Thorin FTM was on Tharkad and at 40% strength.

By April 2nd 3069 the Thorin FTM was recalled from Gibbs to meet Clan Jade Falcon's thrust at Baker 3 with the Knights of St. Cameron. Upon arrival the Avengers were met by the Falcon's Seventh and Eight Talon Clusters and suffered heavy losses, reported unofficially at fifty percent, the timely intervention of the Knights of St. Cameron allowed the Avengers to retreat off world.

Officers
