History
Formation
Destroyed in 3015 while fighting Anton Marik's rebels, with the survivors absorbed into the Fusiliers of Oriente, and reformed in 3058.[1]
Several members of the Fusiliers of Oriente have suggested that the unit should be named the "Sixth Fusiliers of Oriente", which has annoyed the members of the Hussars. The LCCC has sided with the members of the Sixth, so the unit will remain the Sixth Oriente Hussars.
Anton's Revolt
As part of Janos Marik's strike force, the Sixth Oriente Hussars landed on Calloway VI. There they faced the Wolf's Dragoons Beta and Gamma regiments. Though they destroyed the Dragoons reputation for invincibility, the conflict essentially destroyed the Sixth as a unit.[2] The Sixth wouldn't re-form until 3058.
3058-3067
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]
Jihad
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]
Officers
As of 3059 to 3067 the commanding officer was Colonel Astoria Jaka, she is still in 3085 the units commanding officer[1][5][6]
Tactics
The unit is so new and haven't developed any special tactics.[1]
