Several Brigades were restructured after the [[Capellan Crusades]] of [[3111]] revealed weaknesses in the [[CCAF]].<ref name=FM:3145p27>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 27: "General Review"</ref> A new naming convention was introduced that made the '''First Liao Hussars''' the official name of the regiment.<ref name=FM:3145p41/> Their unofficial name is '''Phyr's Hussars'''. Originally a part of the [[Sian Reserves]],<ref name=HLp93/> Renshield's Dragoons were reassigned to the Liao Cháng-Chéng in [[3061]] when the new [[Liao Commonality]] was established.<ref name=FMCC79/> They would later be reassigned again in [[3085]] to the reorganized [[Sarna Commonality]] following the loss of [[Liao]] to the [[ROTS]]. Described as a suicidal rabble of talented egotists, the Hussars are known for their hatred of House Davion and the difficulty to control them in battle. This lack of discipline and a reputation to go berserk under fire has made few regular regiments want to serve with them. Despite this, the Hussars have consistently given excellent service and succeeded where others' careful planning had failed.<ref name=FMCC79>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 79: "Kamakura's Hussars Unit Profile"</ref><ref name=HLp93/> The Hussars are a second-line regiment. They are a light regiment that favors speed.<ref name=HLp93/> ==History== ===Formation=== '''Kamakura's Hussars''' were raised in [[2910]] from the reserve units of [[Hexare]] and [[New Westin]].<ref name=HLp93/> ===Third Succession War=== The Hussars first combat action was a successful raid on [[Axton]] in [[2925]]. The unorthodox and uncoordinated tactics of the regiment allowed their [[Hornet]]s to outmaneuver the [[AFFS]] [[Scorpion]]s in the northern tropical rainforests.<ref name=HLp93/> A similar raid that same year on [[Battle of Hassad (2925)|Hassad]] alongside [[Ishara's Grenadiers]] against [[FWLM]] Scorpions would have also been a success but the fear of losing too much equipment forced them to withdraw.<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 49</ref> ===Fourth Succession War=== -[[3025]] - Kamakura's Hussars garrisoned [[Sakhalin (CC)|Sakhalin]] and [[Ward]] with one battalion each.<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 106</ref> - 19 September[[3026]] - A lance of Hussars on pirate suppression duty vanish without a trace. They had been searching for pirates believed operating out of [[Weldry]]. Unknown at the time they encountered the [[Rampart Company]] who was determined not to let their existence leak back to the Great Houses.<ref>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', pp. 52–53</ref> -[[3029]] - During the Sixth Wave of [[Operation RAT]], the [[5th Crucis Lancers|Fifth Crucis Lancers RCT]] invaded Sakhalin. The 1st Battalion of the Hussars charged the drop zones of the surprised Lancers. The discovery that the 5th Crucis did not have any BattleMechs emboldened the Hussars who would fade away whenever heavy resistance was encountered. It was three weeks being bottled up in their landing zones before the [[RCT]] could inflict enough damage to force the Hussars battalion to retreat off-world.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 54</ref> ===Andurien/Canopus Invasion=== -[[3028]] - Kamakura's Hussars garrisoned [[Sakhalin (CC)|Sakhalin]] and [[Ward]] with one battalion each.<ref name=H:BWp88>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 88</ref> On 11 September [[3030]], the [[Duchy of Andurien]] seceded from the [[Free Worlds League]]. Known as the [[Andurien Crisis]], Andurien then allied itself with the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] and invaded the [[Capellan Confederation]] two days later.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 51</ref> -[[3030]] - 1st Battalion of the Hussars was in transit through [[Ares (system)|Ares]] on their way to Turin.<ref name=H:BWp88/> -[[3032]] - [[Long's Light Lancers]] invaded [[Turin]] and skirmished with the [[Ishara's Grenadiers]]. The arrival of Kamakura's Hussars on-planet prompted the Lancers to retreat to [[Jacomarie]].<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 63</ref> -[[3034]] - [[MacGraw's Marauders]], the [[Killer Bees]], and the [[Magistracy Militia]] were relieved when they saw the Hussars and the [[5th McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] arrive on [[Andarmax]]. The Canopians believed they had a chance to win. Two days of close-quarters battle convinced the [[MAF]] mercenaries otherwise. The MAF mercenary liaison officer refused to retreat and ordered the Mercenaries to block [[5th McCarron's Armored Cavalry|Rob's Renegades]] instead. The Marauders complied and were decimated. The Killer Bees broke contract and requested safe passage to withdraw which was granted by the Capellans. The badly damaged Marauders left two days later while the Magistracy Militia was virtually wiped out.<ref name=H:BWp66>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 66</ref> -3034-[[3035]] - November of 3034 saw the final battle of the war take place on [[New Roland]]. [[Warrior House Dai Da Chi]] and Kamakura's Hussars attacked [[Clayborne's Commandos]] and the battered remnants of Task Force Duo, composed of the [[Second Canopian light Horse]], [[Second Canopian Cuirassiers]] and the [[Second Canopian Fusiliers]]. The brutal and devastating assault shattered the Cuirassiers and only the actions of the Fusiliers and some Cuirassiers led by [[Emma Centrella]] allowed the Canopians to escape. In three months, the planet would be pacified and thus ended the war.<ref name=H:BWp66/> ===Operation Guerrero=== In September [[3057]], the [[Free Worlds League]] and [[Capellan Confederation]] launched an invasion of the [[Sarna March]] called [[Operation GUERRERO]], in retaliation for [[Victor Davion]]'s [[Operation DOPPELGANGER]]. The fighting lasted for four months, during which time Kamakura's Hussars with the aid of various [[FWL]] mercenary battalions invaded [[Wazan]]. Despite having a three-to-one advantage, the Hussars were battered by the elite [[6th Syrtis Fusiliers]] RCT. The Capellans finally managed to drive the Fusiliers away, but they lost a battalion doing so. These casualties only added to old hatred the regiment had for [[House Davion]].<ref name=FMCC79/> ===''Xin Sheng'' Campaign=== Left out of the attack on [[St. Ives]] for fear of collateral damage, the Hussars were used against targets in the [[Chaos March]].<ref name=FMCC79/> The Hussars' commanding officer, ''Sang-shao'' Takai Kamakura, was left incapacitated by a crippling heart attack during the Han New Year celebrations in [[3067]]. This led to a brief period where the regiment was commanded by Kan Phyr as acting CO - with Phyr refusing to accept a substantive promotion above the rank of ''[[Zhong-shao]]''. It was during this period that the Hussars were posted from Styk to [[Pleione]] for a counterinsurgency campaign against a dissident movement on that planet, a movement that had backing from a contingent that claimed to be linked to [[Free Capella]].<ref name="FM:Up25">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 25: "Phyr's (Kamakura's) Hussars"</ref> Phyr oversaw the move to Pleione and implemented martial law on the planet almost immediately after arriving; he then clamped down on the civilian population over the next two months until part of the rebel group cracked and gave up information on the military contingent supporting the dissidents. This was swiftly followed by the group being tracked down and defeated in a three-hour battle; while the campaign was a victory for the Hussars, it found no official connection between the dissidents and Free Capella or [[Treyhang Liao]]. The day after the climactic battle, ''Sang-shao'' Kamakura insisted on being moved out of his hospital room so that he could address the Hussars. It would be his final address to the unit, and he used it to give his blessing to Kan Phyr and issue his farewell to his command. Kamakura subsequently died on the trip back to the hospital, leaving the Hussars under Phyr's command.<ref name="FM:Up25"/> ===Jihad=== The Hussars became known as '''Phyr's Hussars''' after ''Sang-shao'' Kan Phyr took command; the Hussars went on to hold [[St. Andre]] for the Confederation from [[3069]] until almost the end of the [[Jihad]]. The Hussars struggle to hold St. Andre became the subject of legends within the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]]; the Hussars held St. Andre despite a supply line that had been reduced to a bare trickle, in the face of a campaign of almost constant raids and two invasions conducted either by [[Word of Blake]] forces or their hirelings. The Hussars didn't survive unscathed - the penultimate Blakist attack on St. Andre included a nuclear strike that destroyed almost a full Hussars 'Mech battalion along with their support staff - but they did survive, and by [[3079]] the regiment had rebuilt to the point that it was the largest single unit within the Liao Cháng-Chéng brigade.<ref name="FR:CCAFp13">''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 13: "Liao Cháng-Chéng"</ref> The Hussars became celebrities in the years immediately after the Jihad, with the media making films about their exploits on St. Andre and the manner in which the Hussars operated as dispersed, nomadic raiders who formed up to smash Blakist forces before fading away again, although detractors suggested that perhaps the Hussars were simply too stubborn, fanatical or pig-headed to know when to give up. The Hussars were still rebuilding when the Capellan Confederation launched [[Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS]] in [[3081]], but they and the other formations within the Cháng-Chéng didn't miss out on all the action, deploying partway through the campaign.<ref name="FM:3085p30">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 30: "Liao Cháng-Chéng"</ref> The Hussars were deployed to Wei, arriving just in time to save the beleaguered [[4th Tau Ceti Rangers|Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers]].<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades'', p. 4</ref> The [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic's]] [[II Hastati Sentinels]] were pressing the Rangers hard, while the Rangers attempted to retreat to their [[DropShip]]s. The Hussars arrived via a combat drop that placed them immediately behind II Hastati, disrupting the Sentinels' attack; the Sentinels responded by trying to launch an ''[[Interdictor]]''-class [[Pocket WarShip]] to pursue the Ranger DropShips, only to have the ''Interdictor'' boarded and captured. The officer responsible for capturing the ''Interdictor'' was Taiga Kamakura, an individual described as "pint-sized" but who had her company execute a combat drop directly on top of the Pocket WarShip in mid-air - a tactic openly described as insane and which cost Kamakura half her company, but which also earned her the [[Baton of Illustrious Service]] and a promotion to command the Hussars Third Battalion.<ref name="FM:3085p30"/> === The Republic Era === After the [[Treaty of Tikonov]] officially ended open conflict between the Capellan Confederation and the [[Republic of the Sphere]] the Hussars - like the rest of the Cháng-Chéng - immediately began a campaign of cross-border raids. Encouraged by the CCAF as a means of gauging the readiness of the [[Republic Armed Forces]], these punitive raids increased the Hussars reputation for daring, bravado and short lives. The raids only ended when Kan Ai Phyr was killed on [[Styk]] by the [[V Hastati Sentinels]] while the Hussars were fleeing.<ref name="FM:3145p41">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 41: "Liao Cháng-Chéng"</ref> Around [[3090]] the production model of the Confederation's new light ’Mech, the DOL-1A1 ''[[Dola]]'' became popular among the Hussars as it fit nicely into the aggressive tactics.<ref>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 96: "DOL=1A1 Dola"</ref> On 13 October [[3111]], the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] began the first wave of [[Operation DIVINE RIGHT]]. Its objective was the reclamation of all planets lost to the [[Republic of the Sphere]] since the [[Jihad]]. This operation and the subsequent [[RAF]] counterattack would be dubbed the [[Capellan Crusades]] and would only end on 2 June [[3113]].<ref name=H:WotREp81>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 81: "Operation DIVINE RIGHT and Operation MAGNUS"</ref> -September, 3111 - Phyr's Hussars are on [[Wazan]] preparing to invade.<ref name=H:WotREp86-87>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', pp. 86–87: "Capellan Crusades Deployment Tables"</ref> -October, 3111 - The Hussars landed on [[Suzano]] and virtually destroyed the [[Sixth Triarii Protectors]].<ref name=H:WotREp77>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 77: "Unleashing the Dogs of War"</ref><ref name=H:WotREp86-87/><ref>''Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades'', p. 8</ref> -March, [[3112]] - The [[Sixth Hastati Sentinels]] was unable to mount a coordinated defense of [[Asuncion]] as the Hussars landed large numbers of empty DropShips in multiple locations. Unable to tell which was the viable threat, the Sentinels were spread thin and easily destroyed piecemeal.<ref name=H:WotREp79>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 79: "Divine Right Wave Two"</ref><ref name=H:WotREp86-87/> -November, 3112 - Phyr's Hussars returned to Suzano to recapture it from the [[IV Triarii Protectors]]. The Hussars were defeated and ''Sang-shao'' Kamakura was killed ambushing a larger [[RAF]] force.<ref name="FM:3145p41"/> The regiment fell back to Capellan space heavily damaged.<ref name=H:WotREp86-87/> === The Dark Age === Kamakura's successor, ''Sang-shao'' Antoine Rigal, had his career cut short by a particle cannon. ''Sang-shao'' [[Ming-Jie Phyr]] assumed command of the Hussars. Renamed as the '''First Liao Hussars''', the Hussars began launching deep raids in the [[Capellan March]] in [[3144]] as part of [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]]. The Hussars struck as far into the Federated Suns as [[Talcott]], evading the pursuing [[Kestrel Grenadiers]] as they looted supply depots and factories alike. The Hussars luck ran out on [[Amiga]] when they were cornered at last by the Grenadiers. The Hussars launched a ferocious attack to break through the Grenadiers lines, with the bulk of the command escaping to their DropShips while the Second Battalion remained behind, sacrificing themselves to give the rest of the Hussars the opportunity to escape.<ref name="FM:3145p41"/> ==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 Kamakura's Hussars''' |- | ''[[Colonel]]''||[[Nathaniel Hopkins]]||[[3025]]<ref name=HLp93>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 93: "Kamakura's Hussars"</ref> |- | ''Colonel''||[[Jeremiah Sagehorn]]||[[3050]] - [[3054]]<ref name=20Yp63>''20 Year Update'', p. 63: "CCAF Deployment Table - 3050"</ref><ref name=ORp41>''Objective Raids'', p. 41: "CCAF Deployment Table - 3054"</ref> |- | ''[[Sang-shao]]''||[[Takei Kamakura]]||[[3063]] - [[3067]]<ref name=FMCC79/> |- | ''[[Zhong-shao]]''||[[Kan Ai Phyr]]||3067<ref name="FM:Up25"/> |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Phyr's Hussars''' |- | ''Sang-shao''||Kan Ai Phyr||3067 - [[3085]]<ref name=FMU33>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 33: "CCAF Deployment Table - 3067"</ref><ref name=FM3085p34>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 34: "CCAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 1st Liao Hussars''' |- | ''Sang-shao''||[[Ming-Jie Phyr]]||[[3144]]<ref name="FM:3145p45"/> |- |} ===Notes=== By 3144, combat attrition had made commanding officer ''Sang-shao'' Ming-Jie Phyr the fourth in a rapid succession of commanding officers of the 1st Liao Hussars.<ref name="FM:3145p45"/> ==Tactics== * 3063 - Kamakura's Hussars tend toward straightforward frontal assaults, relying on a charge to disrupt enemy tactics.<ref name=FMCC79/> * 3045 - Decades of raiding the [[Republic of the Sphere]] have made the regiment experts at cross-border raiding.<ref name="FM:3145p41"/> ==Unit Emblem== * 3025 - A stylized Terran eighteenth-century hussar against a blue field.
