Is the heaviest unit in the Brigade, design for assault combat. The main mission for the last 300 years was to act as ambos for the other regiment and fought many campaigns. During the [[FedCom Civil War]] they fought against the [[11th Avalon Hussars]] on [[Brockway]] and act later as releave force for the allied forces on [[Panpour]]. On Panpour the unit hammered two entire March Militas in the ground. DeMaestri's Sluggers regiment of the [[Fighting Urukhai]] were nearly destroyed while they act on their own goals and the pro Katherine forces make short work with them.
