History

Founding

The unit was founded during the final years of the Star League and initially almost exclusively from the Nepalnese inhabitants of Muscida.[1]

Late Succession Wars

In 3005 the Fourth witnessed how the Stapelton's Grenadiers destroyed intentionally crops and food stores on Fuentes leading to great suffering among the world's population, an action the Regulan unit saw as profoundly dishonorable. Subsequently the Fourth declared an official feud against the Capellan unit that would last fifty years until the Marik-Liao alliance of 3057.[1]

One year later in June of 3006 the unit capitalized on Alessandro Steiner's Operation Concentrated Weakness, where the Lyran Archon left the Commonwealth's interior nearly undefended, by conducting a deep raid on the important world of Coventry. The green defenders were completely surprised and unable to prevent the Hussars seriously damaging the Coventry Metal Works until the planetary militia was finally able to drive them off.[2]

Anton's Revolt

During Anton Marik's revolt, the Fourth originally sided with Anton's troops. They landed on Nova Roma to support Wolf's Dragoons against the 9th Marik Militia, forcing the loyal unit off-world.[3] They then attacked Lungdo and Ohrensen, bringing both those worlds to Anton's rebellion.[4] Once that was completed they moved to Drusibacken to prepare for an attack on Keystone[5] but other events prevented that assault.

The Ninth Marik Militia and 6th Marik Militia had withdrawn from their original garrison locations and landed on Vanra. Anton sent Alpha and Gamma Regiments of Wolf's Dragoons and the Fourth Regulan Hussars to remove those forces.[6] Once Gamma Regiment was fully engaged with the Ninth Marik Militia, the Fourth Regulan Hussars switched sides and attacked Gamma's rear. Gamma was able to get a message to Alpha Regiment and hold the Hussars in place until Alpha arrived. The Alphas tore through the Hussars, effectively destroying them.[7][1]

3050 - 3060

The Fourth Regulan Hussars returned to the Muscida system in the 3060's. There the established a new training camp and began preparing their own replacements.[8] The Mech regiment and aerospace wing were based on Avior in 3067 while their supporting infantry units were based on Tiber.[9]

Jihad

The Fourth Hussars were a part of the task force sent to attack Gibson in August 3073, and suffered brutal casualties at the hands of the Forty-ninth and Fifty-second Shadow Divisions. A number of units were destroyed completely, including the Thirteenth Stalking Horse and the Wild Geese, but some survivors managed to escape by DropShip after the Wild Geese sold themselves to buy time. With the Regulan ground offensive firmly defeated, Word of Blake WarShips appeared in-system and shattered the Regulan naval forces, with only a few survivors escaping.[10][11][12]

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.[13]

The Fourth Regulan Hussars were still on Diass in 3079.[14]

Dark Age

In 3085 the unit was stationed on Helios Minor[15] on the Principality's border with the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth. From there they had launched several raids against Atreus and Manihiki to test the defender's skills.[16]

The Fourth was used as the strike force against Aitutaki in 3124. There the Hussars introduced the Sarath OmniMech, and inflicted heavy losses on the defenders. The defenders mistook the Fourth's arrival for a raid rather than an assault to take the world. It took the arrival of the 1st Free Worlds Guards to eject the Fourth from Aitutaki.[17]

Officers

As of 3025 the unit's commanding officer was Colonel Gary Carter.[18]

As of 3050 to 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Falco Palmero.[1][19][20] Colonel Palmero was still in command in 3067.[9]

As of 3085 the commanding officer is Colonel Edmund Jhala.[15]

Tactics

Specialize in raiding and quick-strike tactics.[1]
