History
Captain Gregor Rubinsky formed the command during the 3030's with soldiers from Tikonov, New Hessen and Tigress. Their first contract was to provide security to the Earthwerks plant on Tikonov. Later the unit joined ranks with the Khorsakhov's Cossacks. The demi brigade signed a contract with the St. Ives military. The contract was renewd the next 25 years. During the Capellan wars the regiment suffered heavy losses through an attack with nerve gas on Indicass. After the war, they left the Compact as a separate command from the other Cossacks and signed on to serve the LAAF, who put them on the recently liberated planet Blackjack.
After an intensive training cycle, the time came to prove the learned lessons when the Falcons’ Third Swoop Cluster landed in 3069. The battle was fought hard. Each side send Head Hunters and used other tactics with success. Only the reinforcement of the Falcon side changed the tide of the battle. The mercs surrendered the planet to the Jade Falcons and lifted off for Lyran space for rest and refit.
On 3079, Rubinsky Light Horse still garrisoned the border planet Melissia, together with 15th Lyran Regulars, and have less then half of regimental worth[1]
During fighting on Graus in 3080, Uvin Buhallin, the saKhan of clan Jade Falcon, was killed fighting Rubinsky's Light Horse in a flanking attack. Later that same year, Galaxy Commander Diane Anu drove the Horsemen out from the planet in two weeks of fighting.[2]
Officers
The colonel Marko Rubinsky had kept the regiment together, but without capable heir, (His son, Tamas incapable of piloting mech now) he planted 3rd Batt. CO Lt. Colonel Li Tran as his successor. (He been killed by falcons later[3]). Daughter of capellan' duchess Candace Liao, major Cassandra Allard-Liao was given command of First Battalion, therefore allowing Rubinsky to form a separate command company. In the same 3069, major Cassandra Liao and colonel Marco' son, Tamas, married and sired a child.
Tactics
The unit fight like a cavalry unit. Repeated attacks/reatreates by lighter machines with concentration of fire from heavy units in afar.
Support
For the normal circumstances (other then prolonging campaigns) the technical staff of Horsemen is sufficient.
