The Fifth Regulan Hussars spent most of the 31st century stationed on the Free Worlds League/Lyran Commonwealth border. As a result, the unit doesn't have the same regional loyalty to the Principality of Regulus common to Regulan Hussars units.
History
Formation
The Fifth Regulan Hussars were formed between 2755 and 2765 by Duchess Elsa Cameron-Jones. Like its sister regiments at the time, the Fifth Hussars were vocally supportive of the Captain-General and the regiment was flush with newly-manufactured equipment originating from the factories of the Marik Commonwealth, a legacy of the Regulan Hussars' support for Captain-General Elise Marik during the Marik Civil war earlier in the century.[1]
Despite the loyalty displayed to the Captain-General by the Hussars, SAFE agents were still operating within the support personnel within the brigade in the 2760s; the Star League Intelligence Command had evidence showing the presence of those operatives, and believed that their presence was most likely a result of orders from Ewan Marik two decades earlier, following Duchess Cameron-Jones refusal to send any of the Hussars regiments to Marik's show of force on Solaris[1] following the attack on the Timothy Leary by the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces in 2745.[2]
Anton's Revolt

4th Succession War
During Operation Dagger the unit was part of a taskforce that attacked Wyatt. The losses sustained by the 25th Marik Militia rumored to be the result of information leaked to the Lyran Commonwealth by the Hussars. No evidence to support this theory was ever found.[3]
Andurien Secession
Raiding neighboring worlds of the Federated Commonwealth as a show of strength during the Andurien Secession, the Fifth's assault on Milton secured them large amounts of supplies in 3035. These raids also prevented the Federated Commonwealth from capitalizing on the confusion of the Secession Crisis.
Operation Guerrero
| This Section looks to be a Stub This section is a stub (i.e., in need of additional material). You can help us by expanding it. Please remove this tag when that effort is complete. |
Operation Bulldog
The Hussars did not participate in Operation Bulldog.
FedCom Civil War
During the FedCom Civil War the Fifth wanted to raid the Lyran Alliance to take advantage of the confusion. The LCCC denied them permission to do so, going so far as to remove their transport assets to prevent an unauthorized reconnaissance in force. The denial and removal of their JumpShips eliminated the little loyalty to the Free Worlds League government the Fifth felt.[4]
Jihad
The Fifth took heavy damage during the Jihad. In 3079 they were down to a battalion sized formation.[5] they also participated in Operation BROKEN FIST and the Regulan assault on Circinus and the Word of Blake.[6] In 3082 they raided Atreus, but the defending Eleventh Atrean Dragoons actually inflicted heavy losses on the unit.[7] Later, they actually took control of Emris IV, raiding StarCorps industrial warehouses, but were driven off by the First Orloff Grenadiers.[6][8]
Dark Age
In 3139 the Fifth was stationed to counter an invasion of Atreus by forces loyal to the Duchy of Oriente. When the Fifth arrived in-system however, they were forced to stand down by the Sea Fox's ship VoidSwimmer. The Fifth couldn't reinforce the world and for their failure[9] they were stationed at Diass.[10]
Officers
In 3025 the commanding officer is Colonel Linda Koloff.[11]
As of 3050 to 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Thomas Orrfelt.[3][12] He was still in command in 3067.[13]
As of 3085 the commanding officer is Colonel Imrie Swain.[14]
In 3145 the commanding officer is Colonel Jocelyn Hunter.[10]
Tactics
After formation the Fifth spent some time attempting to identify its strategic niche; the Fifth began by concentrating on training in mobile warfare and quick-strike tactics.[1]
In the thirty-first century the Fifth used combined arms to bring an opposing unit down. First the armor units brought the enemy to a halt then the flanks were each covered by three companies of medium 'Mechs. The reserve is made up of heavy 'Mechs, which are waiting for the right moment, a sign of weakness in their enemy.[3]
