History
Formation
The First Fusiliers of Oriente were formed in 2485 to protect the Duchy of Oriente from Capellan Confederation raids.[1] Though the Ducal Guard is older and known for its honor and bravery, the First Fusiliers prefer to use cunning and clever tactics to win the day. This ability to improvise and adapt has served the Free Worlds League well over the years. The Dark Shadows battalion of SAFE recruited extensively from the First Fusiliers of Oriente.[2]
Anton’s Revolt
During the Marik Civil War the First Fusiliers of Oriente were on Griffith, dissuading Lyran adventurism.[3]
Fourth Succession War
The First Fusiliers went to a higher alert status, but other than that didn't participate in Janos Marik's Operation Dagger. They would guard their homeworld against attacks from the LCAF instead.
Andurien Secession
During the Andurien Secession crisis, the First Fusiliers attacked Shiro III with the Atrean Hussars and 1st Marik Militia. There they faced off against the 1st Defenders of Andurien and the 5th Defenders of Andurien.[4] The Fusiliers performed a series of raids against the First Defenders. This increased the pressure until the First Defenders' Alpha Battalion struck at the First Fusilier's positions. The strike forced the Fusiliers out of position long enough to allow the Defenders' conventional forces to escape. The First Fusiliers would destroy a company of Andurien 'Mechs, but most of them escaped as well.[5]
Shortly after the fight on Shiro III ended, the First Fusiliers were ordered to Xanthe III. There they reinforced the 10th Marik Militia and the 15th Marik Militia. Their arrival allowed the 15th to withdraw from the fighting and stiffened the 10th's lines. Unfortunately their presence wasn't enough to drive the 3rd Defenders of Andurien and 5th Defenders of Andurien off-world. Reinforcements arrived for the FWLM forces, however, and the Andurien loyalists were driven offworld.[6]
After spending six months rebuilding, the First Fusiliers of Oriente assembled as part of the FWLM task force that invaded Andurien.[7] The First Fusiliers, 1st Regulan Hussars, and Atrean Dragoons besieged the 3rd Defenders of Andurien in their base. After failing to drive them out quickly, the First Fusiliers and the other units performed a building by building clearance operation that drove the 3rd Defenders out of the city after three weeks.[8] Shortly after this the First Fusiliers slipped past the lines of the 5th Defenders of Andurien and struck them from behind. This unexpected attack caused the 5th Defenders to splinter into lance-sized units that were easily destroyed by the First Fusiliers and other Federal forces. The Fusiliers then went on to capture Humphreys Palace[9] and the People's Assembly.[10]
Operation Guerrero
The First Fusiliers of Oriente didn't participate in Operation Guerrero.[citation needed]
Operation Bulldog
During Operation Bulldog the First Fusiliers of Oriente were seriously damaged by Clan Smoke Jaguar's Alpha Galaxy Command Trinary.[11] Their losses were so severe that they spent the next three years rebuilding.[12] After their participation in Operation Bulldog, they returned to Griffith.[13]
Jihad
In late 3075, the 1st Fusiliers of Oriente and several unspecified units from the Lyran Alliance attacked Word of Blake and Circinus Federation forces that were holding Poulsbo and Khon Kaen. This proto-Coalition force was able to completely destroy the defenders of Khon Kaen. On Poulsbo only 10% of the Blakist and Circinian forces were able to escape the planet's surface.[14]
Officers
In 3025 the First Fusiliers of Oriente were commanded by Colonel Aaron Barksdale.[15] As of 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Roy Chapman-Potemkin[10]. He was still in command in 3067.[16]
Tactics
The 1st uses unusual strategies and tactics.[10]
