History
The Sixth Syrtis Fusliers were traditionally the guard for the Duke of New Syrtis. After the Fourth Succession War and Duke Michael Hasek-Davion's death, many officers in the Sixth were relieved of command and forced out of the service on charges of sedition. The unit might have faded away completely, but Morgan Hasek-Davion assumed command and rebuilt the unit. During Operation Guerrero the Sixth Fusiliers were spread across multiple systems and lacked the strength to stop the CCAF advances. However, their combat prowess was demonstrated by the severe mauling they inflicted on several Capellan units, particularly Kamakura's Hussars, before they were forced to leave the Sarna March. After this they were stationed on Novaya Zemlya, where they trained other AFFS units in countering Capellan tactics.[1] In 3062 they were reassigned to garrison Hadnall.[2]
During the FedCom Civil War the Sixth Fusiliers were assigned to Kathil. There they kept fighting during the entire Civil War, refusing to let Allied or Loyalist forces take control of the vital factories. They took heavy losses, as did every unit assigned to the Kathil fighting. Several Davion Sunbursts of Gallantry and dozens of Syrtis Medals of Valor were received by members of the Sixth.[3] After the fighting on Kathil during the FedCom Civil War ended, the survivors of the Kathil CMM and 1st Capellan Dragoons were drafted into the Sixth Fusiliers.[4]
The Sixth garrisoned New Syrtis in 3067.[5]
As part of Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE the Sixth reinforced the Illician Lancers at Hexare. They fought Paget's Dragoons on the world, and though they fought well, the collapse of other aspects of SOVEREIGN JUSTICE forced the two units to leave the world to the Capellan Confederation.[6] In 3085 the Sixth was the most experienced Syrtis Fusiliers unit, and served as the honor guard on New Syrtis.[7]
The Sixth assaulted Victoria during the Dark Age. They faced the 5th Capellan Defense Force. A surprise assault by a platoon of CCAF Predator tank destroyers inflicted heavy losses on one of the Sixth's cavalry battalions, destroying nearly half the unit.[8] During that same conflict, Warrior House Kamata took advantage of a gap between the Sixth and the 42nd Avalon Hussars to hit both AFFS units in the flanks and then withdraw before they could react.[9]
