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.
