History

Formation

Have maintained a feud with Stapelton's Grenadiers since 3005, triggered by the Capellan unit's destruction of crops and food stores on Fuentes, an action the Fourth saw as dishonorable.[1]

Anton's Revolt

The Fourth fought Wolf's Dragoons on Vanra during Anton Marik's revolt.[1]

4th Succession War


Andurien Secession


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.[2] The Mech regiment and aerospace wing were based on Avior in 3067 while their supporting infantry units were based on Tiber.[3]

Jihad

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.[4]

Officers

As of 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Falco Palmero.[1] Colonel Palmero was still in command in 3067.[3]

Tactics

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