The [[Word of Blake Jihad]] wasn't kind to the Hussars, as they were annihilated. Jaffray survived and took several survivors of the Hussars to reinforce the [[Ghosts of the Black Watch]] until their annihilation in [[Odessa]] in [[3074]]. Jaffray was officially killed, though in fact he survived.<ref>''Lost Ghosts'' in ''Shrapnel#9'', p. 108</ref>
 
 
 
The Hussars didn't survive to the Jihad, but part of their Clan original equipment was later used to form the Republic [[Twelfth Hastati Sentinels]], in the [[Dark Age Era]].<ref>''Grey Watch Protocol'', p. 16</ref>
