The issue of the [[Council Edict of 2650]] that limited the size of the military of each of the [[Great House]]s had no effect on the Fusiliers,<ref name="FR2765:FSp18">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 18: "Syrtis Fusiliers"</ref> but the repeal of the Edict in [[2752]]<ref name="FR2765:FSp3">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 3: "Strategic Update"</ref> led to a sharp and dramatic increase in size of the brigade.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/> That expansion began in [[2755]] following authorization from First Prince [[John Davion]] and saw ten new regiments including the '''Twentieth Syrtis Fusiliers''' founded over the next ten years.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/> All was not well within the new regiments, however; the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] was an army based on volunteers, not conscription or drafting, which generally resulted in the [[AFFS]] being staffed by loyal soldiers who shared a common vision. This wasn't the case with the new Syrtis Fusiliers regiments; the personnel of the Twentieth and her newly-formed sister regiments reflected the hostility towards the [[Capellan Confederation]] espoused by a large portion of the population, and this resulted in a number of discipline issues as well as constant agitation to be allowed to strike at the Confederation in retaliation for the pirate and bandit raids believed to be funded or conducted by Capellan forces.<ref name="FR2765:FSp19">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 19: "Morale"</ref> The Twentieth was the most problematic of the newly-raised regiments; required to garrison the important industrial world of [[Salem]], the personnel of the Twentieth resented their posting to a [[Crucis March]] world rather than the Capellan border, despite the plants on Salem being a vital part of the defense infrastructure of the [[Federated Suns]] and also supplying the Twentieth with their equipment.<ref name="FR2765:FSp19"/> The ten new regiments were almost identical in composition when founded; each consisted of ten [[company|companies]] of [['Mechs]], with those ten companies being comprised of five companies of assorted heavy and medium weight 'Mechs - predominantly ''[[Archer]]s'', ''[[Dervish]]es'', ''[[Warhammer]]s'' and ''[[Wolverine (BattleMech)|Wolverines]]'' - three companies of lightweight designs (typically ''[[Locust]]s'' and ''[[Wasp]]s'') organised as a recon [[battalion]] and two assault companies equipped mainly with ''[[BattleMaster]]s''.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/> === First Succession War === By 2797 the [[Goderich]] system, which had been conquered in the second wave of the massive invasion of the Federated Suns by the [[Draconis Combine]], was back under Federated Suns control and was home to the remains of three regiments who had withdrawn from [[Kentares]] or systems nearby: the [[Third Deneb Light Cavalry]], the [[Seventh Crucis Lancers]] and the Twentieth Syrtis Fusiliers. When word reached Goderich of the massacre being conducted on Kentares IV by [[Coordinator]] [[Jinjiro Kurita]], the three regiments became the first [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] units to break ranks and launch furious, vengeance-driven attacks against nearby Combine forces, beginning in October 2797. Other units were soon doing the same, and by November the vengeful [[AFFS]] units had broken through the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] defenses on both [[Logandale]] and [[Marlette]], returning both systems to Federated Suns control. This was the beginning of a resurgence across the AFFS that would eventually lead to the Combine invasion being turned back, and the majority of the conquered Federation worlds being liberated.<ref name="FSWp88">''First Succession War'', p. 88: "United In Rage"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 20th Syrtis Fusiliers''' |- |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History== === 2765 === '''Twentieth Syrtis Fusiliers''' (Regiment/Green/Questionable)<ref name="FR2765:FSp19b">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 19: "Regimental Status"</ref> :- At this point in time the Twentieth were stationed on Salem.<ref name="FR2765:FSp19b"/> === 2786–2821 === '''Twentieth Syrtis Fusiliers''' (Regiment/Green/Questionable)<ref name="FSWp134">''First Succession War'', p. 134: "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns (AFFS)"</ref> :- At this point in time the Twentieth was a medium-weight regiment operating at full strength and was stationed on Salem.<ref name="FSWp134"/> In 2821 the unit was perating just above forty percent of full strength and was stationed on [[Cartago]].<ref name="FSWp134"/> === 2830 === '''20th Syrtis Fusiliers''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=2SWp95>''Second Succession War'', p. 95</ref> : Note: At this point in time the medium-weight unit was stationed on [[Cartago]] with an operational readiness of 83 percent.<ref name=2SWp95/> === 2864 === '''20th Syrtis Fusiliers''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name=2SWp95/> : Note: At this point in time the medium-weight unit was stationed on [[Mallory's World]] with an operational readiness of 54 percent.<ref name=2SWp95/> ==Notes== The Twentieth Syrtis Fusiliers was most likely a casualty of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Report 2765: AFFS]]'' * ''[[First Succession War (sourcebook)|First Succession War]]'' * ''[[Second Succession War (sourcebook)|Second Succession War]]'' [[Category: Federated Suns Commands|Syrtis Fusiliers, 020th]]
