Overview
The Seventy-fifth Royal Hussar Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. It was one of the SLDF's Royal units, which consisted of troops from the Terran Hegemony.
History
The Seventy-fifth Royal Hussars played a notable rule in the First Hidden War against the Combine when its newly arrived Champion, Colonel Donovan Fresnel became the first SLDF "Gunslinger" to achieve a draw against a DCMS Marauder in 2687 on the world of Minakuchi during an hour-long duel. [1]
In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the VIII Corps, Fourteenth Army, to District 1 of the Draconis Combine Military Region and then transferred to District 2 by 2765, to take part in the Periphery Uprising.[2] The Seventy-fifth was destroyed during the Hegemony Campaign.[2]
Composition
As an SLDF Hussar regiment the Seventy-fifth would have been composed primarily of medium to heavy 'Mechs, tanks and hovercraft.[3]
