History

Formation

The Fourth Proserpina Hussars assaulted Tamar in 2915. Though they fought heavily for seven months, they eventually had to leave the world in the hands of the Lyran Commonwealth.[1]

The 8th Sword of Light and 4th Proserpina Hussars fought the Davion Heavy Guards in 3002's Third Battle of Harrow's Sun. The Federated Suns ultimately prevailed but not before the Eighth had inflicted serious losses.[2]

In the second decade of the 30th century, the Fourth Proserpina Hussars, along with the 2nd Sword of Light and 20th Dieron Regulars, headed a massive multi-regiment assault on the Tamar Pact under the overall command of General Tugima Travison. This assault, which launched in March 2915, took advantage of the defending Steiner forces paralysis and insecurity. Despite this, by October 2915, the Twentieth and other DCMS troops were forced off of Tamar.[3]

Prior to the Fourth Succession War the Fourth Hussars raided the Lyran world of Sevren. The defending Lyran unit, the 26th Lyran Guards forced the Fourth to leave Sevren. This encounter was the first time the DCMS fought the Hatchetman design.[4]

4th Succession War

Ronin Wars

War of 3039

During the War of 3039 the Fourth Proserpina Hussars regiment was stationed on Fellanin II. The Eridani Light Horse's 71st Light Horse and 21st Striker regiments attacked Fellanin in the first wave of the invasion. After stringing the Light Horse units along for three weeks, the Fourth Proserpina's artillery and a 'Mech-led combined arms battalion attacked the Light Horse's grounded DropShips and AeroSpace Fighters. At the same time, the rest of the Fourth Hussars pinned the Light Horse's 'Mechs in place outside a small city so they couldn't aid their comrades. The Light Horse lost three DropShips, a battalion of 'Mechs, and a wing of fighters were destroyed or disabled. The Hussars lost their artillery and most of the attacking battalion[5].

The Fourth Hussars struck again a few hours later, forcing the Light Horse units into retreat. After twelve hours of harassment from the Hussars, the Horsemen re-formed their units and delivered a counterattack that stopped the Fourth Hussars cold. The Hussars were the pursued, as they organized a series of fighting withdrawals. At last the Hussars tried to make a stand at a local fortress, but were smashed by the 21st Striker regiment. The survivors fled into the wilds of Fellanin II.[6] Less than a battalion of 'Mechs were able to fight, and it wasn't until the arrival of the 2nd Arkab Legion that the Hussars were able to push the 71st Light Horse regiment (now the only AFFS force present) off-world.[7]

Clan Invasion

The Fourth Proserpina Hussars were destroyed in the Clan Invasion. Its surviving materiel and personnel were merged into the Third when that unit was rebuilt to full strength.
