History

Captain Gregor Rubinsky formed the command during the 3030's with soldiers form Tikonov, New Hessen and Tigress. There first contract was to provide security to the Earthwerks plant on Tikonov. Later the unit joined ranks with the Khorsakhov's Cossacks. The demi brigade signed a contract with the St. Ives military. The contract was renewd the next 25 years. During the Capellan wars the regiment suffered heavy looses through an attack with nerve gas on Indicass. After the war, they left the Compact as a separate command from the other Cossacks and signed on to serve the LAAF, who put them on the recently liberated planet Blackjack.

After a intensive training cycle, the time came to prove the learned lessons when the Falcons’ Third Swoop Cluster landed in 3069. The battle was fought hard. Each side send Head Hunters and used other tactics with success. Only the reinforcement of the Falcon side changed the tide of the battle. The mercs surrendered the planet to the Jade Falcons and lifted off for Lyran space for rest and refit.

On 3079, Rubinsky Light Horse still garrisoned the border planet Melissia, together with 15th Lyran Regulars, and have less then half of regimental worth[1]
