The 321st Hussar Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History[edit]
In 2764, the unit was assigned as a part of XLIII Corps, Seventeenth Army to the Periphery Military Region.[2] Like the Forty-third Royal Light Horse and 119th Light Horse Regiments, the 321st was tasked with rotating through systems within the central Magistracy of Canopus region, scouting for potential threats. Soldiers on this rotation, dubbed the "grand tour," usually took the opportunity to check out the local casinos and nightlife.[3]
The 321st was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery by 2765 to take part in the Periphery Uprising.[2]
The 321st Hussar Regiment had interests involved with the Magistracy of Canopus from at least facilitating the 2550 Shadow Hawk 4H production line, establishing BattleMech part construction capabilities to serve the Rim Worlds Alliance BattleMech development programs.[citation needed] Their fate was unknown for several centuries after the fall of the Star League,[2] though subsequent publications released in the thirty-first and thirty-second centuries revealed that the 321st almost certainly survived the Hegemony campaign and remained in the Inner Sphere, joining Major General Lauren Hayes and the other SLDF units who chose to join ComStar in support of Jerome Blake. The 321st is believed to have formed the basis of the "mercenaries" used to create the Eighth ComStar Expeditionary Division in 2784, along with the Third Striker Regiment, Eighty-ninth Dragoon Regiment, and 231st Striker Regiment.[1] Following Operation SILVER SHIELD in June 2788, in which ComStar's Expeditionary Divisions seized control of Terra, the vast majority of the Expeditionary Divisions were demobilized and their equipment cached for the future, forming the basis of the later Com Guards.[4]
