Overview

The Ninetieth Hussar Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. Rather bizarrely, the unit adopted a 19th century "American Western" theme, and it was not unusual to see troopers wearing stetsons instead of regulation field caps.[1]

History

In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XXIV Corps, Fifth Army, to District 1 of the Capellan Confederation Military Region and then transferred to District 2 by 2765, to take part in the Periphery Uprising.[2] The Ninetieth was destroyed during the Hegemony Campaign.[2]

Composition

As an SLDF Hussar regiment, the Ninetieth would have been composed primarily of medium to heavy 'Mechs, tanks and hovercraft.[3]

Tactics

The Hussars hit, run and then hit again until an enemy breaks.[1]
