The homeworld of the 1st Ceti Hussars was Pajarito.

History

Formation

In the Second Succession War the 1st Ceti Hussars were part of a Davion counterattack on invading Capellan forces. The 1st Ceti Hussars caused several Capellan Hussars to break, which allowed the Ceti Hussars to isolate the rest of the Capellan troops. In the fight that followed, Chancellor Ilsa Liao was killed.[1]

Fourth Succession War

During the Fourth Succession War the 1st Ceti Hussars defended Nopah from the 2nd Capellan Hussars. Though the 2nd Capellan Hussars were eager for revenge and inflicted moderate losses, the Ceti Hussars destroyed most of the Capellan unit and took the rest prisoner.[2]

War of 3039

Clan Invasion

The 1st Ceti Hussars were assigned to reinforce the Lyran Commonwealth/Clan Jade Falcon border, but after the formation of the Lyran Alliance they returned to Federated Suns space.[3]

Operation Guerrero

Operation Bulldog

FedCom Civil War

During the FedCom Civil War the 1st Ceti Hussars hit Tancredi and Bryceland, but left the defense of the worlds to their militia units. Combat Command Bravo attacked and held Kesai IV, but was pushed off the world by the DCMS during their counterattack.[4] The 1st Ceti Hussars then took up a position on Algol.[5]
