The '''Seventh Regulan Hussars''' were formed as a medium weight BattleMech regiment from ex–Star League troops and in [[2786]] were deployed to [[Köln (FWL)|Köln]].<ref name=FSW138>''First Succession War (sourcebook)'', p. 138</ref> They were stationed on [[Kyrkbacken]] in [[2808]] when [[House Liao]] launched an assault against the world with five BattleMech regiments. The Seventh put up a dogged defense but after a week of fighting they had been destroyed. The Liao invaders committed numerous war crimes during this offensive and not a single Regulan prisoner was taken. The Hussars as a whole carried a deep grudge against Capellan forces for centuries because of this action. <ref>''Rolling Thunder'', p. 6 "First Succession War"</ref>

The Seventh Regulan Hussars was re-formed from the [[Ronin Incorporated]] security battalion in [[3069]]. When the [[Principality of Regulus]] declared independence, the unit was drafted into the Regulan Hussars.

The unit initially found it difficult to adapt to the requirements of the Regulan Strategic Military Command, but in the decades since the Jihad they became a valued member of the Regulan Hussars. They were stationed on [[Regulus]] in 3145 after taking some losses while raiding the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]]. While there they were training replacement armor and infantry units and rebuilding its 'Mech battalion.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 110</ref>

When war broke out between the Free Worlds League and Regulus in [[3146]], the Seventh was stationed on [[Jouques]]. In October the [[4th Marik Protectors|Fourth Marik Protectors]], having joined the League, landed on the planet and eventually forced the Seventh Hussars off-world.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 21</ref> [[3147|A year later]], when [[Regulus]] itself was invaded, the Seventh was part of the garrison protecting Regulus City. After the [[Clan Sea Fox]] invaders publicly offered to sell goods to the blockade-starved denizens, the Seventh was ordered by [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Lester Cameron-Jones]] to suppress any such traffic between his subjects and the Clanners. Following this, the Seventh and its [[Beta Aimag (Spina Khanate)|Beta Aimag]] opponents faced off against each other waiting for the stalemate to break.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 36-37</ref>

==Notes==
First Succession War (sourcebook) lists the unit as being at 38% full strength on the planet [[Remulac]] in [[2821]], this seems at odds with the information in Rolling Thunder, but could represent an attempt to rebuild the regiment after its destruction in 2808.
