==Description==
The unit was formerly known as '''Syn's Hussars'''.

Several Brigades were restructured after the [[Capellan Crusades]] of [[3111]] revealed weaknesses in the [[CCAF]].<ref name=FM:3145p27>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 27: "General Review"</ref> A new naming convention was introduced that made the '''Second Liao Hussars''' the official name of the regiment.<ref name=FM:3145p41/> Their unofficial name is '''Yi's Hussars'''.

The regiment acted as an unofficial training cadre for the Liao Conservatory for Military Arts. As such, the majority of its personnel were new Conservatory graduates who would serve for one to three years before transferring out.<ref name=FMCCp82/> This ended in 3085 following the loss of the school. From 3085 onward, the Hussars served as a regular CCAF reserve regiment.<ref name="FM:3085p31"/>

Syn's Hussars were assigned to the Liao Cháng-Chéng in [[3061]] when the new [[Liao Commonality]] was established.<ref name=FMCCp82/> They would later be reassigned again in [[3085]] to the reorganized [[Sarna Commonality]] following the loss of [[Liao]] to the [[ROTS]].

The Hussars are a second-line regiment. They are most likely a light regiment like the [[1st Liao Hussars]].<ref name=FMCCp82/>

==History==
===Formation===
[[Strategic Military Director]] [[Talon Zahn]] created the Hussars from graduates of the [[Liao Conservatory of Military Arts]] after seeing the impressive abilities of the alumni. The regiment unofficially served as a training cadre for that academy until 3085.<ref name=FMCCp82>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 82: "Syn's Hussars Unit Profile"</ref>

===''Xin Sheng'' Campaign===
During the Capellan/St. Ives conflict, the Hussars were hard pressed to remain combat effective. Between [[3064]] and [[3067]] they were unable to take any of the objectives they were assigned. Despite this they were able to inflict twice as many casualties as they sustained and captured a battalion's worth of equipment. This equipment included two squads of [[Purifier]] armor. The Strategios wasn't pleased with their performance, however, and sent a message to their commander encouraging his troops to perform better.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 25</ref> The unit was based on [[Styk]] in [[3067]].<ref name=FMUp33/>

===Jihad===
Stationed on [[Liao]] between [[3073]] and [[3075]], the Blakists inflicted severe losses on the hard-fighting Hussars. Three quarters of the Hussars were killed in the conflict. The rebuilding effort allowed foreign intelligence services to insert several agents. Posted to [[Shiba]] to rebuild, Syn's Hussars instead turned inward, remaining in their base camp.<ref name="frcc13">''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 13</ref>

===Republic Era===
In [[3085]] the Hussars' new commander focused the unit's displeasure on the loss of [[Liao]] and the Conservatory to the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. This focus and the arrival of many new recruits started to pull the Hussars out of their deep depression and helped them interact with the universe again.<ref name="FM:3085p31">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 31</ref> They were stationed on [[Bithinia]] in [[3085]]<ref name=FM3085p33/> to protect the [[Bithinian Ballistics]] plant.

===Dark Age===
By [[3145]], the unit was at low morale again. Not being included in the liberation of [[Liao]] and becoming junior regiment to the disliked [[1st Liao Hussars]] has lowered their loyalty rating. Despite this, the regiment participated in [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]].<ref name=FM:3145p41>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 41: "Liao Cháng-Chéng"</ref>
