A relatively recently-formed [[brigade]] within the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]], the genesis of the Andurien Hussars lay in the peace treaty brokered by the [[Terran Hegemony]] in [[2556]] that ended the [[Third Andurien War]]. The Andurien worlds were handed over to the [[Capellan Confederation]], and [[Chancellor]] [[Terrence Liao]] awarded the worlds full Commonality status as an attempt at reconciliation. The Andurien Hussars were established to be the military formation associated with this new Commonality.<ref name="FR:CC2765">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 8: "Andurien Hussars"</ref>

The general disarmament during the early years of the [[Star League]] the Andurien Hussars maintain just two active regiments, but after the order limiting the size of the [[Great House]] militaries was rescinded by the Star League council in the mid-twenty-eighth century saw the number of regiments within the Hussars expand significantly. The '''Fifth Andurien Hussars''' was one of these new regiments, raised alongside two sister regiments - the [[Third Andurien Hussars|Third]] and [[Fourth Andurien Hussars]] - to support the [[First Andurien Hussars]].<ref name="FR:CC2765"/>

The First Hussars had a reputation for putting the good of the Commonality ahead of themselves and for using the minimum necessary force when investigating crimes, earned during the first years of their deployment and maintained carefully throughout the two centuries since. Between the founding of the regiment and 2765 the Fifth Hussars were considered the regiment to have made the best effort to live up to the standards of the First; however, despite the Fifth's efforts, the peacekeeping operations conducted by The Corsican Marshals were constantly subject to claims of excessive brutality. One of the more notable instances of such a complaint was that arising from the Fifth's handling of a robbery attempt at the First Bank of Leyda on the world of the [[Leyda|same name]], where the Command Officer of the Fifth, [[Colonel]] [[Leona Weiqi]], ordered a [[lance]] of ''[[Stinger]]s'' to get between the bankrobbers and their hostages by tearing their way through the side of the building - an order that saw two of the twenty-nine hostages killed during the process.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/>
