History

Formation

4th Succession War

Ronin Wars

War of 3039

Clan Invasion

The First Proserpina Hussars had a series of successes against the Smoke Jaguars. On Port Arthur, they managed to maneuver the Clan into a field of automated defense weaponry, inflicting heavy casualties, but were eventually forced to abandon the planet. After rebuilding, the First pulled off a series of raids against front-line Jaguar units. In 3057, a combined raid by the First and Third netted the unit an entire trinary of Clan OmniMechs as salvage.[1] As of 3059, the First was stationed on Yumesta [2].

Operation Bulldog

The First Proserpina Hussars were eager to fight the Smoke Jaguars, but the commanders assigned them to attack worlds held by Clan Nova Cat instead. They faced a hard fight on Kanowit, but took Mualang by winning a round of miniature golf.[3] This obviously minimized further losses.

Officers

As of 3059, the unit was commanded by Tai-sa Alexander Minowa.[4] He was still in command in 3067.[5]

Tactics

The First Proserpina excels at hit-and-run tactics, especially in open field engagements. Since the regiment is reinforced, the Fourth battalion is held in reserve and used to surprise the enemy as unexpected reinforcements.
