==History==
===Second Succession War===
In the Sixth Battle of Andurien the Fifth Oriente Hussars and the [[3rd Marik Militia]] landed on [[Andurien]] to face [[CCAF]] troops. After two months of fighting the Fifth drove the Capellans off the world.<ref>''Second Succession War (Sourcebook)'', p. 51</ref> After this fighting, they were reduced to 28% of their nominal full strength.<ref>''Second Succession War (Sourcebook)'', p. 98</ref>

===Third Succession War===
Had been stationed on [[Sierra]] since [[3021]], where they were initially viewed with suspicion. The attitude of the locals changed when the Fifth defeated raiders from the [[Circinus Federation]] in [[3035]].<ref name=FMFWL96>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 96, "5th Oriente Hussars Unit Profile"</ref>

===Anton's Revolt===
In [[3014]] the [[31st Marik Militia]] was trapped on [[Uhuru]] by the [[9th Lyran Regulars]] and [[Narhal's Raiders]]. The Fifth, along with the [[3rd Oriente Hussars]], relieved the trapped unit and drove the Lyran attackers off-world.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 24</ref>

===Andurien Secession===
In [[3031]] raiders from the [[Circinus Federation]] (a company from the [[Black Warriors]] attacked [[Sierra]], with the Fifth repulsing the Circinians completely but with several casualties.<ref name=FSp26>''First Strike'', p. 26</ref>

In [[3035]] raiders from the Circinus Federation attacked again Sierra. The skill and dedication the Fifth demonstrated in repelling these invaders improved the relationship of the Fifth with the local population, who to that point disliked the [[FWLM]] troops.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 72</ref>

===Post-Jihad===
The Fifth Oriente Hussars garrisoned [[Anegasaki]] in [[3079]].<ref name=frfwl10>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 10</ref>

In [[3081]] the [[Avior]] and [[Muscida]] systems were under a military interdiction; as an attempt to curb the activities of the [[Principality of Regulus]] units constantly raiding into the [[Duchy of Oriente]], Oriente forces had seized the jump points in each system to allow them to search all inbound and outbound traffic. At the same time, elements of the 5th Oriente Hussars were suppressing Regulan supply bases on the surface of both planets.<ref name="J:FRp91">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 91, "The Marik Commonwealth"</ref>
