The Sixth was deployed with the [[Eighth Regulan Hussars]] as part a League attack group assigned to attack the planet. The task force was built around the ''[[Carrack]]''-class transport, ''Histria Azure''. The operation was intended to fool the Lyran Garrison commander into thinking the Task Force was larger than it seemed. The Task Force's commander, Colonel Wendon McGaines, used coded signals the Sixth and Eighth that would be picked up by the Lyrans thinking there were two additional BattleMech regiments with the Task Force. The garrison commander ordered evacuation of key personal and preparation of Lyran troops to withdraw from the planet. Colonel McGaines ordered the Sixth and other troops to rush to the Lyran bases. The Regulans would attack the Lyran Commonwealth's bases and their fortified positions around the Bella I's capital. Combat would intensify around the Garrison's headquarters where a battalion's worth of 'Mechs and tanks would be loss fighting the Lyran, with them suffering equal losses. In the end the Lyrans were successfully fooled by McGaines' ruse and abandoned the planet. The Sixth would remain on planet until March [[2816]], where the unit would return to Regulus space due to League political fighting.<ref name=FSW138/> By the First Succession War's end in [[2821]], the unit had been reduced to 37 percent of its fighting strength and were stationed on [[Cerillos]].<ref name=FSW138/> While fighting in the [[Second Succession War]] would continue to reduce the Regiment's strength 14 percent of its fighting capacity.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 98: Sixth Regulan Hussars noted information during the war</ref> The Sixth Regulan Hussars were traditionally loyal to the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]], however in the end this was their downfall. The Sixth had deployed to the world of [[Loric]] only to be abandoned by the Captain-General, who left them without support or supplies for two years. This neglect ultimately led to their destruction in [[2973]] that drove a wedge between the [[Regulan Hussars]] and the Captain-General, with the brigade's personal loyalty shifting to supporting the [[House Cameron-Jones|Cameron-Jones family]]<ref name="HM(TFWL)p103">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 103: "Regulan Hussars"</ref> after a history of loyalty to House Marik that stretched back to the [[Marik Civil War (28th c.)|Marik Civil War]].<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp16"/><ref>''Rolling Thunder'', p. 7</ref> === The Jihad === The Sixth Regulan Hussars were re-formed from former [[Free Worlds League]] units that joined the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]]. They joined the Regulan Hussars after seeing the Word of Blake failing.<ref name="FM:3085p92"/> On the 1st of May [[3078]] the Sixth Regulan Hussars landed on the world of [[Molokai]] in the [[Principality of Gibson]] to free the world from forces loyal to the Word of Blake. The local military forces tentatively welcomed the Regulans as liberators;<ref name="J:FRp59">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 59: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> unfortunately, the Regulans weren't wanted by the inhabitants, and the planet exploded into riots for several days after the Hussars arrived. The Blakists helped to fuel the riots by releasing footage of the [[Regulan Hussars]] using tactical nuclear weapons during campaigns for [[Futuna]], [[Newcastle]] and [[Norfolk]] in [[3077]], thereby tarring the Hussars with the same brush as the Blakists themselves. These riots were worsened by the alleged presence of several Blakist [[ROM]] units that were reputed to be waging a terror campaign by randomly kidnapping and executing anyone who supported the Coalition forces. The worsening situation on Molokai and the unwillingness of the local population to enter into any form of dialogue with the Hussars led to mounting speculation in the Regulan media that [[Colonel]] Lord Downes, the CO of the 6th, would be forced to assign [[BattleMech]]s to disrupt the escalating riots.<ref name="JHS:Tp79">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 79: "The Push Continues"</ref> The Sixth Hussars were stationed on [[Regulus]] in [[3079]].<ref>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 9</ref> In [[3085]] they had been reassigned to [[Avior]].<ref name="FM:3085p92"/> ===Dark Age=== The Sixth Hussars typically operated in a manner that ran counter to the Regulan Hussars: They actually approached combat with caution rather than running in without a plan. The only thing that changed their tactics was a series of raids from the [[Rim Commonality]] and heavy losses they inflicted.
