History
The Sixth Regulan Hussars were formed from former Free Worlds League units that joined the Word of Blake during the Jihad. They joined the Regulan Hussars after seeing the Word of Blake failing.[1]
On the 1st of May 3078 the 6th Regulan Hussars landed on the world of Molokai in the Principality of Gibson to free the world from forces loyal to the Word of Blake. The local military forces tentatively welcomed the Regulans as liberators;[2] unfortunately, the Regulans weren't wanted by the inhabitants, and the planet exploded into riots for several days after the Hussars arrived. The Blakists helped to fuel the riots by releasing footage of the Regulan Hussars using tactical nuclear weapons during campaigns for Futuna, Newcastle and Norfolk in 3077, thereby tarring the Hussars with the same brush as the Blakists themselves. These riots were worsened by the alleged presence of several Blakist ROM units that were reputed to be waging a terror campaign by randomly kidnapping and executing anyone who supported the Coalition forces. The worsening situation on Molokai and the unwillingness of the local population to enter into any form of dialogue with the Hussars led to mounting speculation in the Regulan media that Colonel Lord Downes, the CO of the 6th, would be forced to assign BattleMechs to disrupt the escalating riots.[3]
The 6th Hussars were stationed on Regulus in 3079.[4] In 3085 they had been reassigned to Avior.[1]
Officers
During their operational deployment to Molokai in 3078 the Sixth was commanded by Colonel Lord Downes.[3] As of 3085, the commanding officer was Colonel Paul DeVries.[1]
In 3145, the commanding officer is Colonel Darrick Jimenez.[5]
Tactics
The Sixth Regulan Hussars prefers to hang back and identify the enemy's weakest points before committing to battle. Once the weak spot has been found, however, the Sixth delivers a massive amount of force to that point.[6]
