History[edit]
The Twenty-first Robinson Chevaliers was one of the regiments within the Robinson Chevaliers brigade of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns and took its unit name from a chivalry order that existed during the preindustrial history of Terra; this was standard practice among units of the Robinson Chevaliers that formed prior to the massive expansion of the AFFS following the repeal of the Council Edict of 2650[2] in 2752.[3] In the case of the Twenty-first the regiment was known as the "Hubert's Huscarls"; members of the Twenty-first identified closely with their chosen order, and even the newest recruits were expected to be able to name significant individuals and events from the history of the order.[4]
The Twenty-first rebuilt to two battalions in strength between the First and Second Succession Wars, but was a casualty of the Second Succession War.[1]

| Commanding Officers of the 21st Robinson Chevaliers | |||
Tactics[edit]
The Twenty-first specialized in defense, but by far the most skilled formation within the unit was the attached aerospace fighter wing, which specialized in undertaking pinpoint ground-attack missions. The Twenty-first's aerospace wing was considerably more skilled than the remainder of the regiment, as demonstrated by one of the aerospace fighter pilots destroying a bandit BattleMech via a strafing attack even as the bandit was grappling with the commanding officer of the Twenty-first's second battalion during a raid in the mid-2760s.[4]
Composition History[edit]
2765[edit]
Twenty-first Robinson Chevaliers (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)[5]
- - The Twenty-first were stationed on Hazelhurst at this point in time.[5] The Twenty-first was comprised of an assault-weight BattleMech regiment augmented by two additional permanently-attached conventional units, a mechanized infantry battalion and an aerospace wing. The Twenty-first's aerospace wing was widely acknowledged to be an elite unit, in contrast with the average performance of the remainder of the Twenty-first.[4]
2786–2821[edit]
Twenty-first Robinson Chevaliers (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)[6]
- - At this point in time the Twenty-first was an assault-weight unit operating at full regimental strength, and was based on Hazelhurst.[6] In 2821 the unit was operating at just below one-third of full strength, and was based on Saumur.[6]
2830[edit]
Twenty-first Robinson Chevaliers (Regiment/Regular/Fanatical)[1]
- - At this point in time the Twenty-first was an assault-weight regiment and had rebuilt to two-thirds of full strength. The Twenty-first was stationed on Saumur.[1] The unit was destroyed during the war.[1]
Notes[edit]
- The Twenty-first Robinson Chevaliers were most likely named after the fifteenth century Bavarian Order of Saint Hubert.
