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.
Fourth Succession War
Defense of Tikonov
The Voltigeurs took moderate casualties in the failed defense of New Moscow on Tikonov when they battled the 3rd Crucis Lancers in October of 3026. [2]
Operation Riposte
All three regiments of the Chesterton Voltigeurs took part in the assault on New Aragon. The 1st suffered heavy losses attacking a supply depot and eventually surrendered when escape proved impossible.[3]
