History

Formation

The command is a elite unit of the entire CCAF. Through out the history the soldiers served with honor and pride their homeland. The unit was rebuild during twice, because they defended Bethel in 2760 against the Syrtis Fusiliers and again in 2857 on Spica against the successful Ceti Hussars. Other great achivments was the raid on Redfield in 2832 and also the occupation of Mira in 2975.[1]. During the fight for Wei in 3001 the command could capture a valuable Dropship from the Marik invaders. The string of victories continued with the assistance of Wilson's Hussars on Highspire in 3012 and the defence of their homeworld agaisnt the assaulting Avalon Hussars.
