During the [[Third Succession War]], the regiment take the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] world of [[New Abilene]] in [[3012]]. The unit easily overwhelmed planet's local militia took posession of the planet. Knowing the Canopians forces on their way confront them, they dug in.  The [[1st Canopian Cuirassiers]], late due to a helium seal blow out, dropped on top of Red Chasseurs' defensive positions.  The Cuirassiers successfully forced the Chasseurs off New Abilene.<ref>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 31 - 1st Canopian Cuirassiers - Cuirassiers' first significant victory during the late Successions Wars against the Red Chasseurs.</ref>

The Chasseurs would take part in the ill-fated [[Taurian-Canopian War]] in [[2813]] at the tail-end of the [[First Succession War]], invading the low population [[Magistracy of Canopus]]-held world of [[Detroit]]. Unlike the disaster of [[Herotitus]], [[Taurian Defense Force]] commander in chief [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Gertrude Blake-Andrews]] took great pains to avoid announcing her presence to the Canopian garrison, nor did she skimp on her aerospace escort. As a result the bulk of her invasion force - the Red Chasseurs 'Mech regiment, plus two regiments each of armor and infantry - were able to reach the surface alive. Once on the ground though, the Taurians and Canopians mostly chased each other around the few military significant targets trying to draw the other side out into ambushes. With neither commander foolish enough to oblige the other by running into the prepared meat grinders, 'fighting' on Detroit faded into a series of defensive holding actions and probing raids until word of the truce arrived.<ref name=P-61>''The Periphery'', pp. 61–62: "First Succession War and the Periphery - Concordat-Magistracy War - A Separate War"</ref><ref name=FSW-101>''First Succession War'', pp. 101–103: "The Succession War (2786-2821) - Hard Times: The Decline of the Periphery - The Taurian-Canopian War (2813-2814)"</ref>

Red Chasseurs
Formed 2784[1]
Nickname Bright Flame Regiment
Affiliation Taurian Concordat
Parent Command I Corps

The Red Chasseurs were a quick-response regiment for the Taurian Concordat. They were used to intercept threats incoming to Concordat. The unit has also been used in offensive actions as well. The unit usually on six-hour notice to deploy from their base to their JumpShip.

History

Succession Wars

The Red Chasseurs were a formed from a Star League Defense Force command, specifically the Fourth Army's 159th Hussar Regiment, that opted to join the Taurian Concordat following the collapse of the Star League.[1]

The Chasseurs would take part in the ill-fated Taurian-Canopian War in 2813 at the tail-end of the First Succession War, invading the low population Magistracy of Canopus-held world of Detroit. Unlike the disaster of Herotitus, Taurian Defense Force commander in chief Marshal Gertrude Blake-Andrews took great pains to avoid announcing her presence to the Canopian garrison, nor did she skimp on her aerospace escort. As a result the bulk of her invasion force - the Red Chasseurs 'Mech regiment, plus two regiments each of armor and infantry - were able to reach the surface alive. Once on the ground though, the Taurians and Canopians mostly chased each other around the few military significant targets trying to draw the other side out into ambushes. With neither commander foolish enough to oblige the other by running into the prepared meat grinders, 'fighting' on Detroit faded into a series of defensive holding actions and probing raids until word of the truce arrived.[2][3]

During the Third Succession War, the regiment took the Magistracy of Canopus world of New Abilene in 3012. easily overwhelming the planet's local militia. Knowing the Canopian forces were on their way to confront them, they dug in. The 1st Canopian Cuirassiers, late due to a helium seal blowout, dropped on top of the Red Chasseurs' defensive positions. The Cuirassiers successfully forced the Chasseurs off New Abilene.[4]

New Colony Era

By the 3050s, the Concordat and Magistracy of Canopus begun colonizing region between their two realms. The Chasseurs were used in the New Colony Region to take down pirates, rogue colonial marshals and other intrusive elements.

The regiment as of 3064, was organized into nearly 5 fast heavy 'Mech companies. The unit's lack of activity at the time, caused its second battalion to be downgraded as a regular skilled unit.[5]

Along with rest of the I Corps, the unit was spread thinly From the Liao down to Fronc Reaches' border as of 3067.[6]

Jihad & Second FedSuns Invasion

In 3074, Taurus was bombarded by asteroids and left the capital of the Concordat in ruins. With 5 million dead, and Word of Blake intelligence suggesting the asteroids were propelled by agents of the Federated Suns, TDF's surviving ruling party invaded the Suns.

The Red Chasseurs along with rest of I Corps, supported two prong thrust into the Federated Suns. Accompanying Taurian Guard brigade, the I Corps was once again spread out to hold newly acquired Davion worlds.[7]

In 3079 the Chasseurs numbers were low, and the command split into two forces to garrison Organo and Althea's Choice.[8]

Operation Matador

In 3081 it was reported that the Red Chasseurs had been wiped out - literally, to a man - on the border world of Althea's Choice by the 2nd Ceti Hussars during Operation MATADOR.[9] Later reports clarified the situation: The Second Battalion of the Red Chasseurs had indeed been wiped out, but the first battalion on Organo withdrew after facing the Illician Lancers Fourth Regiment.[10] As part of this withdrawal, the survivors captured a mercenary JumpShip. The unit is so heavily damaged (less than two companies escaped Organo) that it will likely be folded in with the Concordat Jaegers, another heavily damaged command.[11]

Dark Age

In 3145 the two battalions of the Red Chasseurs were stationed on New Vandenberg and Landmark. The unit faced decades of low level combat on New Vandenberg, and this constant combat had almost completely destroyed the unit's morale. As a stopgap the Red Chasseurs were ordered to rotate their battalions off-world to get away from the conflict.[12]
