'''Walter Nellis''' was a member of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] during the [[twenty-eighth century]].<ref name="FR2765:FSp9">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 9: "Avalon Hussars"</ref>

== History ==
Walter Nellis was an officer within the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] during the height of the [[Star League]] era. Nellis was appointed to command of the [[Thirty-third Avalon Hussars]] when the [[regiment]] was reactivated by [[First Prince]] [[John Davion]] in [[2760]], and he was keen to honor the traditions of the original Thirty-third Avalon Hussars, which had been deactivated as a part of the AFFS complying with the Star League [[Council Edict of 2650]]. As a consequence of his commitment to those traditions, Nellis hired a professional basketball coach; the first commanding officer of the Thirty-third had been the Most Valuable Player of his graduating class at the [[Albion Military Academy]] and had inspired a sporting tradition that stuck with the Thirty-third throughout its existence.<ref name="FR2765:FSp9"/>
