They were the militia of New Syrtis and as such, a traditional, beloved unit of the Capellan March.

They took part in the fightings on New Syrtis, when the planet was invaded by pro-Katherine-forces. In February 3066, the unit tried to do her Duke George Hasek a favor, by wiping out the remains of the 11th Avalon Hussars. They acted alone, to present this victory as a surprise.
