==History==
This former [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] unit harbored a deep hatred for [[House Liao]]. Since the split from their home nation during the [[Fourth Succession War]] the command has worked exclusively for factions who oppose the CCAF. The Cossacks have been in St. Ives employ since [[3054]] and in [[3060]] received the very first ''[[Cossack (BattleMech)|Cossack]]'' BattleMechs from the [[Warlock]] production lines.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3060'', p. 72</ref> The unit split from their sister regiment [[Rubinsky’s Light Horse]] after the brutal reunion of both states in 3063. Since then the unit has worked for the Federated Suns.<ref name=FMMR81>''Field Manual: Mercenaries Revised'', p. 81: "Unit Profile"</ref>

During [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]] the unit conquered [[Necromo]] for the [[AFFS]]. The mercenaries engaged the defending [[Second Confederation Reserve Cavalry]] that were still on Necromo when the planet was attacked in November [[3068]]. The Second fought to the last man against the mercenaries, but was unable to prevent the shipyards being destroyed.<ref name="FM:CCp11">''Field Manual: CCAF'', p. 11: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref>

==Notes==
In 3056, it is stated that Khorsakhov's Cossacks were working with [[Free Capella]] under [[Tormano Liao]]. They were part of a planned operation that would have hit [[Shiloh]] along with [[Peter Steiner-Davion]]. [[Kai Allard Liao]] paid off the [[Colonel]] [[Nikohali Khorsakhov]]. This was discussed in detail in ''[[Assumption of Risk]]''. Which throws off the timeline of the signing with St.Ives Compact.<ref>''Assumption of Risk'', pp. 279–281, 342</ref>
