History[edit]

Formation[edit]

Formed in 2380, the Stuart's Highlanders as with the other Highlander Regiments were originally to be part of a standing army for Northwind, however the outbreak of the Age of War saw the Highlanders drawn to the profit that could be made by hiring out their services to various foreign powers.

Destruction[edit]

In 2841 Stuart's Highlanders were present on Northwind when the Davion Assault Guards, 33rd Avalon Hussars, and 21st Rim Worlds landed and engaged Stuart's Highlanders and the 3rd Kearny Highlanders. The understrength Third garrisoned Cromarty City, but they were smashed by the Twenty-First Rim Worlds and forced out of the city. During their attempt to link up with Stuart's Highlanders, all three AFFS regiments engaged the Third Highlanders and inflicted massive damage. Only a company of the Third was able to link up with Stuart's Highlanders. Eventually both CCAF regiments were destroyed.[2][3][4]
