Line 25: ===Fourth Succession War=== ===Fourth Succession War=== − The 1st and the mercenary unit [[Barrett's Fusiliers]] were deployed to the [[Isle of Skye]] during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Both commands acted as mobile reserves. When the [[Fourth Proserpina Hussars|4th Proserpina Hussars]] successfully invaded the Lyran world of [[La Blon]] during the Lull, both units were dispatched to counterattack during [[Operation HOLDUR]]. The First caught the 4th Hussars totally off-guard and captured two strategically important forts. Consequently, the Proserpina Hussars faded away from the Lyran units. At first, the Royal Guards unsuccessfully tried to hunt down the [[DCMS]] unit. When the Hussars intercepted a message from the CO of Royal Guards that indicated the bulk of his units had moved out of one of the forts to engage the Hussars, they attacked. However, the message was a trap by the Steiner forces. When the Hussars attacked, the fort was defended by the entire force of the 1st Royals. The Hussars took grievous damage fighting what they believed to be a token force. After four hours, the few surviving lances of Hussars, retreated only to be ambushed by Barrett's Fusiliers.<ref name="FM:MRp42">''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'', p. 42: "Barrett's Fusiliers: The Light Musketeers"</ref> + The 1st and the mercenary unit [[Barrett's Fusiliers]] were deployed to the [[Isle of Skye]] during the [[Fourth Succession War]].
