History
In 3063 the 8th Syrtis Fusiliers were stationed on Lothair. Shortly after the outbreak of the FedCom Civil War, Duke George Hasek ordered them to New Syrtis.
The unit was dragged into the FedCom Civil War in 3065, when pro-Katherine-forces tried to conquer New Syrtis to neutralize Duke Hasek. The Duke's forces eventually repelled the invaders, but all units suffered heavy casualties.
Officers
As of 3062 the Commanding Officer was Major General Deborah Palu.
Tactics
The 8th Syrtis Fusiliers are a fast unit, deploying light Mechs, hovertanks and helicopters.

Notes
Since at least 2960, the 8th have a traditional drink, a "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.
