Confederation Reserve Cavalry

Revision as of 16:46, 14 January 2011 by Neuling (talk | contribs)

Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The early history of the Capellan Reserve Cavalry is somewhat of a mystery. As of 3025 there were five regiments of various strengths listed[1] but Hurloc's Hussars is listed as being formed as the 7th Confederation Reserve Cavalry. [2]

Whether or not the other regiments initially had other designation is unknown. Only two regiments survived the Fourth Succession War [3] although it is also stated that there were originally five regiments, not seven.

They field a other indirect role also, because the commands receive their orders from the strategios and not the local jiang-jun.

In the recent conflict with the former St. Ives they proved their worth in face of enemies with equal skills.
