[edit] History
The 1st Chesterton Voltigueurs was formed around 2790 by former soldiers of the Chesterton region who fled after the planet's capture by Federated Suns forces in 2750.[1]
[edit] First Succession War
The Voltigeurs first tasted combat fighting against House Kurita on Rio and Ronel in first half of the 2800's.[1]
Later on Westphalia they defended the planet against the Freeman's Fanatics mercenary unit then in Steiner employ.[1]
[edit] Third Succession War
In 2944 the Voltigeurs met House Marik forces on Epsilon Eridani and suffered serious losses but managed to capture a Leopard dropship and eventually win the day.[1]
The unit was badly mauled in 2987 while defending Tikonov against the attacking House Davion.[1] In the end the invaders were defeated by the slimmest of margins.
[edit] Fourth Succession War
[edit] Defense of Tikonov
The Voltigeurs took moderate casualties in the failed defense of New Moscow on Tikonov when they battled the 3rd Crucis Lancers in October of 3026. [2]
[edit] Operation Riposte
All three regiments of the Chesterton Voltigeurs took part in the assault on New Aragon. The 1st suffered heavy losses attacking a supply depot and eventually surrendered when escape proved impossible.[3]
