One of the oldest Combine units, the Proserpina Hussars are legendary for their hit and run attacks. The unit also has a close relationship with the University of Proserpina, with a large number of officers alumni of that center of learning.


History

The Proserpina Hussars are the elite among the Free-Floating Regiments in the Draconis Combine and their ability to launch hit and-run attacks is legendary.[1]

Though the origin of the Hussars has been long lost, the first mention of them marks them as a tank division that fought for Shiro Kurita even before the Draconis Combine existed.[1]

Since that time, their excellent abilities have always earned preferential treatment. For all their years, the Proserpina Hussars have been linked to the University of Proserpina. In the past, the elite graduates from that university would automatically enter the Hussars. As the Succession Wars years waned, the university (as well as the whole planet Proserpina) has suffered much from recent fighting, and its relations with the unit have dwindled.[1]
