The homeworld of the 1st Ceti Hussars was Pajarito.

History

Formation

In the Second Succession War the 1st Ceti Hussars were part of a Davion counterattack on invading Capellan forces. The 1st Ceti Hussars caused several Capellan Hussars to break, which allowed the Ceti Hussars to isolate the rest of the Capellan troops. In the fight that followed, Chancellor Ilsa Liao was killed.[1]

Fourth Succession War

During the Fourth Succession War the 1st Ceti Hussars defended Nopah from the 2nd Capellan Hussars. Though the 2nd Capellan Hussars were eager for revenge and inflicted moderate losses, the Ceti Hussars destroyed most of the Capellan unit and took the rest prisoner.[2]

War of 3039

During the War of 3039 the 1st Ceti Hussars, backed up by the Screaming Eagles, attacked Elidere IV. During this time, the Hussars lost a Fortress-class DropShip, but only after transferring all equipment and units to other DropShips. When the Hussars landed, Combat Command Charlie took the lead and two weeks after landing the Hussars had taken control of Elidere.[3] The Ceti Hussars then boarded their DropShips and moved on to attack Misery.[4] While at Misery's jump point, they received orders to hold position; Shortly after that they received the recall order and returned to Glenmora.[5]

Clan Invasion/Operation Guererro

The 1st Ceti Hussars were assigned to reinforce the Lyran Commonwealth/Clan Jade Falcon border, but after the formation of the Lyran Alliance they returned to Federated Suns space.[6]

Operation Bulldog

The 1st Ceti Hussars didn't participate in Operation Bulldog.Template:Nc

FedCom Civil War

During the FedCom Civil War the 1st Ceti Hussars were scheduled to hit Bryceland, but Loyalist sympathizers in the unit delayed the attack by sabotaging equipment. The officers responsible for this sabotage were replaced, but by that point 25% of the Hussar's equipment needed repairs. Archon Katherine didn't send the Hussars replacement supplies, to the Ceti Hussars raided several Loyalist units. The 3rd Lyran Regulars base on Pitkin and the 1st Conroe Training Battalion on Tancredi IV were two units raided by the Ceti Hussars.[7] Though the Ceti Hussars' Combat Command Alpha seized the Conroe Training Battalion's equipment, the Hussars ordered the training unit to keep training.[8]

The Ceti Hussars then coordinated an attack on Bryceland with the 3rd Davion Guards. The Ceti Hussars and Davion Guards attacked the Bryceland DMM, driving much of the unit offworld.[9] The remaining DMM units holed up on an island. Rather than inflict massive collateral damage on the world, the Ceti Hussars and Davion Guards infantry units and special forces teams infiltrated the island[10] while the Allied air wings (4 AeroSpace Fighter, 2 conventional) strafed and bombed any DMM unit they could find.[11] While the DMM was distracted by the air attacks the infantry and special forces units captured all the DMM officers they could find. These officers then surrendered the planet to the Allied forces. The Davion Guards remained on Bryceland, and the Ceti Hussars and Bryceland DMM relocated to Kesai IV to protect that world from a DCMS attack.[12]

Only the Ceti Hussars' Combat Command Bravo, reinforced by the remains of the Bryceland DMM, were on Kesai. Combat Commands Alpha and Charlie moved to Bremond to hold that world for the Allied cause. Kesai was hit by the 12th Galedon Regulars and the 1st Amphigean Light Assault Group. The Federated Suns units held out for several weeks, but after the 12th Galedon Regulars destroyed the five DMM battalions, Combat Command Bravo was forced to trade ground for time.[13] The Ceti Hussars' maximized their mobility advantage to stay one step ahead of the DCMS forces. The DCMS forces received a wave of reinforcements and this briefly offset the Hussar's mobility but the residents of Kesai staged a series of terror strikes on the Combine forces. The Hussars were able to drive the Combine units out of their base after the local resistance groups poisoned the DCMS water supply.[14] Eventually the two Combine units recovered and smashed into the Hussars, who were defending the base and unable to take advantage of the mobility. Combat Command Bravo was nearly destroyed, but after a few weeks of fighting word of the cease-fire arrived and the Hussars left Kesai IV to the Draconis Combine.[15] The 1st Ceti Hussars then took up a position on Algol.[16]
