History
Early History
The Seventh Syrtis Fusiliers can trace its origins back to the Age of War or earlier and the private military force raised by House Hasek to defend its mining and drilling concerns on New Syrtis. The Syrtis Fusiliers became the private guard and personal army of the Hasek family, with their star rising alongside that of the Hasek family and New Syrtis; the Syrtis Fusiliers expanded, and as time progressed the brigade became the official guard of New Syrtis and then the perhaps the most important military command within the Capellan March Principality of the Federated Suns.[1]
Davion Civil War
The bulk of the Syrtis Fusiliers brigade supported Prince David Varnay and his wife Cassandra Davion loyally throughout the Davion Civil War, opposing first the combined forces of Laura Davion and Nikolai Rostov and then First Prince Alexander Davion. At the end of the war Prince Alexander offered an amnesty to the survivors from the brigade, and reintegrated the Syrtis Fusiliers into the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns, the restructured military that replaced the Federated Peacekeeping Forces as the state military of the Federated Suns.[1]
Alexander's clemency towards the Syrtis Fusiliers and his subsequent actions in rebuffing the attempt by Richard Varnay to seize control of the Capellan March cemented the Fusiliers' loyalty to New Avalon and the wider Federated Suns.[1]
The Star League
The Seventh Syrtis Fusiliers served the Federated Suns well in the two centuries following the Davion Civil War; when the Star League council issued the Council Edict of 2650, sharply limiting the size of the military each Great House was allowed to maintain, the Seventh and her sister regiments were left untouched. The brigade would remain ten regiments strong until shortly after the repeal of the Council Edict of 2650.[1]
Dark Age
The Seventh Syrtis Fusiliers was just as shocked as the rest of the Capellan March when the Capellan Confederation invaded. To their credit, they responded by performing a series of raids against the CCAF from the "Frazer Thumb". The Seventh's large aerospace contingent and experience in rapid deployment and high-altitude drops allowed them to disrupt Capellan operations. In one case they even stole a JumpShip filled with supplies intended for Capellan forces. The Seventh's success made them a high priority target for the CCAF, and as a result the Seventh moved frequently. It was unusual to find them on any world for more than a month.[2]

Tactics
2765
Due to the slow speed of the Seventh - a consequence of the preponderance of assault BattleMechs within the command - the regiment relied on reconnaissance being performed by local forces whenever the regiment deployed.[1]
