History

In 3063 the 8th Syrtis Fusiliers were stationed on their homeworld Lothair. Shortly after the outbreak of the FedCom Civil War, Duke George Hasek ordered them to New Syrtis.[1]

The unit was dragged into the FedCom Civil War in 3065 when pro-Katherine forces tried to conquer New Syrtis in an attempt to neutralize Duke Hasek. The Duke's forces eventually repelled the invaders but all units suffered heavy casualties.[1]

After participating in Operation Sovereign Justice and Operation Thunderstrike the Eighth's personnel issues have downgraded the unit's experience level. The Eight's soldiers are also having trouble learning the new tactics that are required by a Light Combat Team. Fortunately Brusett isn't likely to come under attack soon, so this weakness cannot be exploited by the Capellan Confederation.[2]

Officers

As of 3025 the unit was commanded by Marshal Iona Hasek.[3]

As of 3054 the commanding officer was Hauptmann General Deborah Palu.[4]

In 3062 the unit is commanded by Leftenant General Entropy Richards[1]

Tactics

The 8th Syrtis Fusiliers are a fast unit - deploying light Mechs, hover-tanks, and helicopters.[1]

Though at full LCT strength, the Eighth's armor contingent consists of mostly Succession Wars era vehicles that were seized from the planetary militia.[2]

Notes

Since at least 2960, the 8th have had a traditional drink: the "Sour Cobra":
Theoretically 2 shots of Bourbon, 1 spoon citrus juice, 1 spoon lemon juice, 1 cup crushed ice. But in reality on New Syrtis they often had to resort to: Bourbon, concentrated citrus or lemon juice, and ice, freshly chopped from a glacier.
The Sour Cobra is also recommended for cleaning purposes.[citation needed]
