===Anton's Revolt===
 +
As part of [[Janos Marik|Janos Marik's]] loyalists, the Sixth Oriente Hussars landed on [[Calloway VI]] and fought [[Wolf's Dragoons]]' [[Beta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Beta]] and [[Gamma Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Gamma]] regiments.

===3058-3067===
 +
Re-formed in [[3058]], the Sixth spent most of its time on the Free Worlds/[[Magistracy of Canopus]] border hunting down pirates. This provided them with a great deal of practical experience that they lacked. Their success on these pirate-hunting trips earned them the nickname of the "Aardvarks".<ref name=FMFWL97/><ref name="fmu152"/>

History[edit]

Anton's Revolt[edit]

As part of Janos Marik's loyalists, the Sixth Oriente Hussars landed on Calloway VI and fought Wolf's Dragoons' Beta and Gamma regiments. Though they ended the Dragoons' reputation for invincibility, the battle essentially destroyed the Sixth as a unit.[2] The survivors were absorbed into the Fusiliers of Oriente.[3]

3058-3067[edit]

Re-formed in 3058, the Sixth spent most of its time on the Free Worlds/Magistracy of Canopus border hunting down pirates. This provided them with a great deal of practical experience that they lacked. Their success on these pirate-hunting trips earned them the nickname of the "Aardvarks".[3][1]

Jihad[edit]

During the chaos of the Jihad, the Sixth Oriente Hussars returned to the Duchy of Oriente and took up station on Dalton and Mansu-ri.[4]

By 3085 the Sixth had successfully defended the Nimakachi Fusion Products plant on Dalton from Word of Blake, Regulan, and pirate raids. During the time the Sixth has garrisoned Dalton, no enemy forces have been able to escape with product from that factory.[5]

Dark Age[edit]

Prior to Operation HOMECOMING the Sixth struck at the Fifteenth Regulan Hussars.[6] During the Victoria War the First and Sixth Oriente Hussars fought the Red Lancers and Roman's Mounted Fusiliers on Ipswich.[7] The Sixth also fought the CCAF on Bentley, swiftly seizing the world. However, after the conquest every member of the civilian government committed suicide rather than collaborate with the Free Worlds League, and this turned the rest of the population against the Sixth. Rumors of executions and secret prisons also increased tensions. A month after they took Bentley, the Death Commandos and Second Capellan Defense Force landed to liberate the world. The Sixth was so demoralized by the civilian insurrection that they simply abandoned the world and relocated to Goodna.[8][9] The Sixth was pursued by the Second CDF and Death Commandos, the latter killing the Sixth's senior officers and throwing the Hussars into chaos. The Sixth abandoned Goodna and moved to Ipswich, where they reinforced the First Oriente Hussars.[10] There they faced Roman's Mounted Fusiliers and the Red Lancers, and fought the CCAF units to a standstill. The CCAF units eventually withdrew to Shuen Wan.[11]

The Sixth was responsible for guarding the narrow transport corridor between the two halves of the re-formed Free Worlds League. They weren't happy with this assignment, but after a few raids by the Regulan Hussars, the Sixth saw how important their posting was.[12] They were split into two commands and garrisoned both Alterf and Manhiki in 3145.[13]

In 3148 when the Free Worlds League campaigned to bring the Regulan Fiefs into the fold, the Sixth was dispatched to Trinidad. The regiment's aerospace wing hit the defending Fifteenth Regulan Hussars hard, leaving the Regulan troops too mauled to put up an effective defense by the time the Sixth's ground troops had made planetfall.[14]
