The [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] had expanded rapidly, as did the militaries of the other [[Great House]]s, and the Capellan Reserve Cavalry was the last of the [[CCAF]] [[brigade]]s to form (or re-form) prior to the Coup. Between 2572 and [[2765]] the Reserve Cavalry mustered seven new regiments, with the intention that the Reserve Cavalry would act as rapid reinforcements to other units and as a source of replacement personnel for frontline commands. Like the other regiments within the Reserve Cavalry, the '''Sixth Confederation Reserve Cavalry''' was an odd combination of volunteer corps, training cadre and militia, with standing orders for the junior [[Colonel]] in charge of the Sixth to subordinate his command to and place it at the full disposal of any frontline command it served alongside. This allowed the Sixth to act as a synergistic part of the superior formation, free of internal power struggles or conflicts.<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 16: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref> The Sixth was one of the heavier regiments within the Reserve Cavalry, and was composed almost entirely of new recruits, who were full of patriotism, vigor and fiery enthusiasm. The majority of the personnel initially recruited into the Sixth were employees of Firmir Commercial; with a wave of Capellan patriotism and nationalism sweeping through the Confederation following [[Barbara Liao]]'s investiture as [[Chancellor]] in [[2760]], the local commonality president, [[Kareem Bizrah]], gave a fiery, rousing speech to Firmir Commercial's employees, culminating in a rallying cry calling for them to give there all for the people of the Confederation. More than nine hundred Firmir employees marched to the local [[CCAF]] recruiting station to enlist, and whilst many of them were either deemed unsuitable for military service or were inducted into the local home guard, enough remained to merit creating the Sixth, which was immediately dubbed "The Firmir Yeomanry".<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16"/> === ''Xin Sheng'' Campaign === The unit was reactivated by [[Chancellor]] [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] in wake of invasion of rogue [[St. Ives Compact]] 2nd battalion of the [[Blackwind Lancers]] in [[3060]]. The unit's creation was partially political in nature and led to the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]]. The Homeworld of the Sixth Confederation Reserve Cavalry is [[Hustaing]].<ref name=FMCCp73>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 73: "6th Confederation Reserve Cavalry Unit Profile"</ref> Raised from [[Home Guard (Capellan Confederation)|Home Guard]] forces, volunteers, and retired [[CCAF]] officers on [[Hustaing]], using equipment seized from the Blackwind Lancers.

They fought the elite unit to a standstill, but were forced off the planet when the [[Word of Blake]] bombarded the world and both units. They took up garrison stations on [[Second Try]], [[Elnath]], and [[Yunnah]].<ref name=FRCCAFp11>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 11</ref> As of [[3085]] the Sixth was stationed on [[Corey]],<ref name=FM3085p33/> where they broke into battalion level formations and conducted wargames. One of these exercises occurred in [[Hollis Incorporated]]'s main assembly area, which disrupted production. The Arcade Rangers needed two weeks to clean up the mess, and the soldiers' pay was garnished to pay for the lost productivity.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 28</ref> ===Dark Age=== In [[3111]] the Sixth was assigned to take [[Second Try]] from the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. Due to technical problems with their [[JumpShip]] however, the Sixth lost a third of their force before they faced a fully aware and dug-in opponent who was waiting for them. The [[V Principes Guards]] had dug into the world and resisted the Sixth for more than a year.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades'', p. 8</ref> After six months of fighting and a resupply mission from [[Sarna]], the Sixth was able to defeat the Fifth Principes.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades'', pp. 18, 20</ref> They later faced [[Kai Allard-Liao]] and tried to stop his vengeance mission. They also battled [[Stone's Lament]] on [[Wei]] and fought on [[Sarna]].<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades'', pp. 9, 12, 23</ref> On Sarna [[Stone's Pride]] ran the Sixth ragged until the Sixth was reinforced by [[Warrior House Dai Da Chi]].<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades'', p. 29</ref> The Sixth defended against a raid on the [[Hollis Industries]] plant on [[Corey]] in [[3130]]. Mercenaries hired by [[The Republic of the Sphere]] raided the world, and the Sixth was defending. They sent a series of [[Shun]] transports filled with [[battle armor]] to the mercenary landing zone and dropped the battle armor on the mercenary [[DropShip]]s. The Sixth's battle armor quickly seized the DropShips and forced the mercenaries to surrender.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 12</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 6th Confederation Reserve Cavalry''' |- | ''[[Sang-shao]]''||[[Ni Tehn Dho]]||[[3063]] - [[3081]]<ref name=FMCCp73/><ref name=FMUp32>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 32: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table - 3067"</ref><ref name=FM:3085p28>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 28</ref> |- | ''Sang-shao''||[[Dan Evans]]||3081 - [[3085]]<ref name=FM:3085p28/><ref name=FM3085p33>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 33: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> |- | ''[[Zhong-shao]]''||[[Jasminda Xiang]]||[[3111]]<ref name=OTPCCp11>''Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades'', p. 11</ref> |- | ''Sang-shao''||[[Conley Asakura]]||[[3145]]<ref name=fm3145p47>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 47: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== The Hustaing warriors are known for unorthodox maneuvers, and use their armor assets as a flanking force.<ref name=FMCCp73/> ==Composition History== === 2765 === '''Sixth Confederation Reserve Cavalry''' (Regiment/Green/Fanatical)<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16"/> :- At this point in time the Sixth was stationed on [[Merdal]].<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16"/> === 2786–2821 === '''Sixth Confederation Reserve Cavalry''' (Regiment/Green/Fanatical)<ref name="FSWp135">''First Succession War'', p. 135: "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces (CCAF) - Deployment Table"</ref> :- At this point in time the Sixth was an assault-weight regiment operating at full strength and was stationed on Merdal.<ref name="FSWp135"/> In 2821 the unit was operating at just above one-quarter of full strength, and was stationed on [[Non Diz]].<ref name="FSWp135"/> === 2830 === '''6th Confederation Reserve Cavalry''' (Regiment/Regular/Fanatical)<ref name=2SWp95>''Second Succession War'', p. 95</ref> : Note: At this point in time the assault-weight unit was stationed on [[Non Diz]] with an operational readiness of 69 percent.<ref name=2SWp95/> === 2864 === '''6th Confederation Reserve Cavalry''' (Regiment/Regular/Fanatical)<ref name=2SWp95/> : Note: At this point in time the assault-weight unit was stationed on [[Non Diz]] with an operational readiness of 32 percent.<ref name=2SWp95/> ===3063–3067=== '''Sixth Confederation Reserve Cavalry (Hustaing Warriors)''' (1 [[Regiment]]/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=FMCCp73/><ref name=FMUp32/> :* CO: ''Sang-shao'' Ni Tehn Dho * 1st Battalion: ''[[Zhong-shao]]'' Torri Chan * 2nd Battalion: ''Zhong-shao'' Jeremy Kubasik * 3rd Battalion: ''Zhong-shao'' [[Dan Evans]] '''Hustaing Armor Corps''' (1 Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=FMCCp73/><ref name=FMUp32/> * XO/Armor Commander: ''Zhong-shao'' Ilsa Cappuccio '''Hustaing Associated Infantry''' (2 [[Company|Companies]]/Green/Reliable)<ref name=FMCCp73/><ref name=FMUp32/> * Infantry Commander: ''[[Sang-wei]]'' Darlan Magnusson - About half are from the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] integrated ===3079=== '''Sixth CRC ''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=FRCCAFp11 /> : Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Elnath]], [[Yunnah]] and [[Second Try]].<ref name=FRCCAFp11/> The orbital bombardment on Halloran V and the fighting against the First FedSuns Armored Cavalry inflicted serious damage on the Sixth.
