Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The Syrtis Fusiliers are the honor guard of the leader of the Capellan March. For that reason their fortunes have been tied to the Hasek family for years. The Hasek Family is an ambitious and often scheming group of leaders that have commanded the Capellan March since the time of Prince Alexander Davion. The Syrtis Fusiliers are respected for their skill in combat but at times have been held in suspicion by an AFFS that questions their loyalty to the First Prince.

History
After the Jihad the Syrtis Fusiliers, like the Robinson Rangers, were reorganized into a series of Light Combat Teams that focused on defensive operations. This allowed the Capellan March to put fighting forces back into the field much more quickly and over a larger area than rebuilding RCT's would have allowed. This streamlining didn't come without a price however: Nathaniel Hasek opposed the reorganization plan until the Princess-Regent offered a squadron of Pocket WarShips to guard New Syrtis. Once these ships had arrived, the reorganization took place. In 3079 the Sixth Syrtis Fusiliers was the only unit near full Regimental Combat Team status.[1]
