History
The Chesterton Voltigueurs was formed around 2790 by former soldiers of the Chesterton region who fled after the planet’s capture by Federated Suns forces in 2750.[1]
First Succession War
The Voltigeurs first tasted combat fighting against House Kurita on Rio and Ronel in first half of the 2800’s.[1]
Later on Westphalia they defended the planet against the Freeman's Fanatics mercenary unit then in Steiner employ.[1]
Third Succession War
In 2944 the Voltigeurs met House Marik forces on Epsilon Eridani and suffered serious losses but managed to capture a Leopard dropship and eventually win the day. [1]
The unit was badly mauled in 2987 while defending Tikonov against the attacking House Davion. [1] In the end the invaders were defeated by the slimmest of margins.
