==History==
 
==History==
The '''Hastati Sentinels''' were formed in late [[3082]] to counterattack the [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan-held]] world of [[Tikonov]]. The first six Hastati Sentinels regiments formed and dropped onto Tikonov alongside [[Stone's Brigade]]. There the Sentinels faced off against five Capellan [[Warrior Houses]].<ref name=fm85-180>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 180</ref>

The '''Hastati Sentinels''' are the elite forces of the [[The Republic of the Sphere]]'s military. Though they're drawn from nearly every House, Clan, and Periphery military, years of constant training and border skirmishes have raised their skills to a high level. As befits their motto ''Victoria Exarcho'' ("Victory for the Exarch"), individually they're outstanding soldiers, equaling even the Republic's Knights, but when grouped in large formations they're not quite as good as the combat units of the Clans or Successor States.<ref>''[http://cf.sarna.net/docs/mwda_dossiers/raf_dossier_2.pdf MWDA Hastati Sentinels Dossier]''</ref>

Like all large combat formations, including the [[Sword of Light]] and the [[Davion Brigade of Guards]], not all regiments of the Hastati Sentinels have the same experience. The units of [[5th Hastati Sentinels|Hastati V]] have clashed with the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] on multiple occasions, making them the most experienced soldiers in the Republic Armed Forces.

After the Blackout, the Hastati lost seven of their ten regiments. Inside Fortress Republic, the Sentinels were scheduled for reconstruction. The new Sentinels were led by a combination of Republic Knights and experienced RAF officers, and they have been equipped with a large number of assault-class 'Mechs.<ref name=fm3145p140>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 140</ref>
 
 
 
The newly formed Hastati Sentinels (Eleventh through Sixteenth) were released into combat operations as part of [[Operation SHOFAR]]. This brings the new Hastati into conflict with the [[CCAF]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]], [[DCMS]], and [[Clan Wolf]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 100, "3149"</ref>
