Overview[edit]

The Ninetieth Hussar Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. Rather bizarrely, the unit adopted a nineteenth-century "American Western" theme, and it was not unusual to see troopers wearing stetsons instead of regulation field caps.[1]

History[edit]

In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XXIV Corps, Fifth Army, to District 1 of the Capellan Confederation Military Region and then transferred to District 2 by 2765, to take part in the Periphery Uprising.[2] The Ninetieth was destroyed during the Hegemony Campaign.[2]
