The Capellan Hussars are considered the most prestigious brigade in the Capellan Confederation and trace their origins back to the Capellan Defense Force formed by Franco Liao at the founding of the Confederation before the advent of ‘Mechs.[1]
When not involved in combat duties the Hussars traditional guards the capital and act as bodyguards and escorts for nobles. [2]
Thanks to their elevated status they receive the best equipment and personnel, getting first choice from local military academies. [3]
Contents
History
Age of War
Created as a symbol for unity for the new founded states, these units suffer horendous loses during their service. For each commonality was a different command developed.
One of the regiments, its name now stricken from the records and lost, staged a military coup that resulted in the death of Chancellor Duncan Liao. [4]
Third Succession War
An original regiment was destroyed in fighting against House Davion as they held the line during the desperate days of the Third Succession War. [5]
Fourth Succession War
The Prefectorate Guard was destroyed during the Fourth Succession War. [6]
Jihad
The Capellan Hussars served with distinction during the Jihad with all four regiments at the forefront of the war. While each suffered casualties they remained a cohesive fighting force and their reputation as an elite unit was, if anything, enhanced. [7]
Post-Jihad Era
Any pretensions that may have existed prior to the Jihad which declared the Hussars to be merely playground units were firmly quashed by the performance of the four regiments in the brutal combat of the Jihad. The regiments of the Hussars were constantly embroiled in the heaviest fighting, emerging victorious each time; more than any other formation, the Hussars embodied the renewed sense of pride in the Capellan soldiery. As the Confederation recovered from the conflict the Hussars continued to draw on veterans from across the CCAF and were quickly back at full strength, and by 3081 each commonality capital within the Confederation had a regiment from the Hussars as a part of their garrison.[8]
The Capellan Hussars were part of Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS, but even their skills weren't enough to prevent the Republic of the Sphere from taking back the worlds the Capellans had liberated.[9]
Double Duty
As guardians of the state the regiments of the brigade provide security to all high ranking persons in the government.
- Red Lancers: Defends the Liao family and Celestial Palace
- Prefectorate Guard: Prefectorate and their family members
- Holdfast Guard: Protects the members of the House of Scions
- Dynasty Guard: Protects the Sheng nobility (and are regarded as watchdogs as well)
Command Structure
The commands receive their orders from the local jiang-jun normally, but the Strategios contact the commander directly and bypassing the sheng noble in military matters. No noble would risk a conflict with the strategic military commander.
Available Forces
As the elite of the CCAF the commands have the best supplies, newest equipment and have the authority to take supplies of lesser units in the field when necessary. The regiments have the opportunity to build customized equipment and can select from the finest recruits of the academies of each year

The units of the Hussars use variations of red, black, and gold colors. They always display a Confederation crest with regimental insignia below. Divisional crests are reminiscent of the old Capellan emblem resembling a fist rather than a five pointed star. [12]
