==History==
 
==History==
In [[2765]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[IV Corps (Star League)|IV Corps]], [[10th Army (Star League)|Tenth Army]], to District 3 of the [[Free Worlds League Military Region]]. The Forty-second formed part of the [[First Regimental Combat Team]], along with the [[Seventy-fifth Light Horse Regiment]], [[138th Dragoon Regiment]], and [[195th Royal Light Horse Regiment]].<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 126</ref> It was later moved to an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]].<ref name=SL143>''The Star League'', p. 143: "Tenth"</ref>

In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[IV Corps (Star League)|IV Corps]], [[10th Army (Star League)|Tenth Army]], to District 3 of the [[Free Worlds League Military Region]], but was moved to an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]].<ref name=SL143>''The Star League'', p. 143, "Tenth"</ref>. The 42nd was destroyed during the [[Hegemony Campaign]].<ref name=SL143/>
 
 
During [[Operation CHIEFTAIN]], [[New Home]] was assaulted in March [[2775]] and the Forty-second Hussar Regiment was part of the advance force. They arrived via a pirate point after the initial naval engagement and secured the landing zones of the Twenty-fourth Army Group.<ref name=H:LoT2p36>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 36</ref>
 
 
 
For the attack on [[Caph]] in [[2776]], the Forty-second Hussar Regiment was once again in the vanguard of the attack. They dropped on to the planet after the Star League Fleet had bombarded the [[Space Defense System]] batteries and [[Rim Worlds Army#Amaris Empire Armed Forces|Amaris]] bases. Their first task was to immediately engage Republican forces that had been positioned outside the largest and most strategic fortifications, allowing them to be targeted from orbit or by the two supporting air groups. The defenders countered with nuclear strikes destroying the Tenth Volunteer Brigade that also made up part of the spearhead. The remaining troops hung on long enough for the reinforcements of the Third Army to land.<ref name="LoT2p49">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 49–50</ref>
 
 
 
The [[regiment]] was destroyed during the Hegemony Campaign, though it is not specified where this occurred and may have been on Caph.<ref name=SL143/>
