===Dark Age===
The Northwind Fusiliers were formed in the wake of the [[Blackout]], after Tara Campbell became [[Republic of the Sphere#Prefectures|Prefect]] of [[Prefecture III]] and called for volunteers. It drew from memorial groups formed after most Highlanders regiments were disbanded post-[[Jihad]]. These descendants of former Northwind Highlanders units, primarily the [[Second Kearny Highlanders]] and [[Northwind Hussars]], had kept up their forebears' martial traditions, albeit without formal training. Led by officers from the surviving [[First Kearny Highlanders]], the Fusiliers quickly became a skilled, capable regiment. Initially intended as a home guard for [[Northwind]], the Fusiliers quickly found themselves deployed on various [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic]] worlds.<ref name="EDDA"/><ref name=FDHighlanders/>
+
With the disbanding of the Highlanders regiments after the Jihad, a number of memorial groups sprang up, organizations that allowed the descendants of the regiments to gather and honor the traditions of their forebears. Lacking in any formal military training, these "weekend warriors" nevertheless answered [[Tara Campbell]]'s call to arms and, with the help of officers from the [[First Kearny Highlanders]], have since shaped themselves into a surprisingly capable unit.

In fact, they have so impressed [[Prefect]] Campbell that rather than leave them as a home guard for [[Northwind]] as originally intended, she soon began sending them out to garrison surrounding systems.<ref name="EDDA"/>
