==History==
The Capellan Reserve Cavalry formed during the years between the repeal of the [[Star League]] [[Council Edict of 2650]] in [[2572]] and the eruption of the [[Amaris Coup]]. The [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] had expanded rapidly, as did the militaries of the other [[Great House]]s, and the Capellan Reserve Cavalry was the last of the [[CCAF]] [[brigade]]s to form (or re-form) prior to the Coup. Between 2572 and [[2765]] the Reserve Cavalry mustered seven new regiments, with the intention that the Reserve Cavalry would act as rapid reinforcements to other units and as a source of replacement personnel for frontline commands. Like the other regiments within the Reserve Cavalry, the Seventh Confederation Reserve Cavalry was an odd combination of volunteer corps, training cadre and militia, with standing orders for the junior [[Colonel]] in charge of the Seventh to subordinate his command to place it at the full disposal of any frontline command it served alongside. This allowed the Seventh to act as a synergistic part of the superior formation, free of internal power struggles or conflicts.<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 16: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref>

The Seventh was composed almost entirely of new recruits, who were full of patriotism, vigor and fiery enthusiasm. The Seventh was formed as a direct consequence of the formation of the [[Sixth Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]; the creation of the Sixth had come about as a result of a rousing speech by commonality president [[Kareem Birzah]] to the employees of Firmir Commercial, which caused more than nine hundred company employees to march to their nearest [[CCAF]] recruiting office en masse and attempt to enlist. Lady Elena Zou, one of the primary shareholders in [[Mujika Aerospace]], was determined not to be outdone by Firmir Commercial, and offered to directly fund the creation of another Reserve Cavalry regiment. Zou's offer was accepted by [[Chancellor]] [[Barbara Liao]]; Elena's daughter Mary was promoted to [[Colonel]] and moved from the [[Eleventh Sian Dragoons]] to become commanding officer of the new regiment. Elena was instructed to recruit the best candidates for the Seventh, which posed a challenge given that the top graduates from the various Capellan military academies were already earmarked for established regiments. Mary recruited heavily from sources that were typically overlooked, or considered unorthodox, resulting in the Seventh being an eclectic mix of talented individuals who, prior to being recruited, had been monks, gladiators, computer programmers, gymnasts and other such personalities. Resembling a troupe rather than a command, the Seventh presented a far from conventional appearance for a CCAF regiment, but questions about the Seventh's performance stopped after their first operational exercise saw the Seventh defeat the [[Second Confederation Reserve Cavalry]].<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16"/>

The Seventh Confederation Reserve Cavalry were reactivated in [[2904]] and later received regular troops as reinforcements. Their first action was when their AeroSpace assets participated in the fighting at [[Acala]] in [[2905]]. They went on to become known as '''Hurloc's Hussars'''.<ref name=HLp93>''House Liao (the Capellan Confederation)'', p. 93: "Hurloc's Hussars Profile"</ref>

Stationed on [[Altorra]] in [[3065]], when the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] pulled all of its troops from the Confederation, the Capellan Forces watched the Seventh with great interest. The unit contained so many Magistracy officers and warriors that the [[Maskirovka]] had warned the [[CCAF]] of possible mass defections. To the Seventh's credit, not one warrior requested transfer back to the Canopian military.<ref name=FMU22>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 22: "7th Confederation Reserve Cavalry Profile"</ref>

During [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]] the Seventh faced off against a regiment of the [[Lexington Combat Group]] (Marie's Golden Hammers). For an untested unit they performed well, bringing the mercenary unit to a halt several times before being relieved by more experienced Capellan commands. They then took up stations on [[Old Kentucky]], [[Campertown]], and [[Tsinghai]].<ref name="FRCCAFp11">''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 11</ref>
