| − | + | In [[3077]] the Fourth Regulan Hussars landed on [[Diass]], which brought the [[Regulan Free States]] under the control of the [[Principality of Regulus]]. Backing up the [[1st Regulan Hussars]] and the [[2nd Regulan Hussars]], the Fourth Hussars launched a massive public relations effort to win over the Diassans. The most visible effort was from the Royal Ghurka infantry units that patrolled the cities. These troops went about unarmored and carrying only their ''kukri'' knives as armament. The trust that the Fourth's infantrymen placed in the good intentions of the Diassans went a long way to defusing the tension that had built up when the Fourth Regulan Hussars arrived.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 50, "Regulus Ascending"</ref> | |
