History
Founding
The unit was founded during the final years of the Star League and initially almost exclusively from the Nepalnese inhabitants of Muscida.[1]
Late Succession Wars
In 3005 the Fourth witnessed how the Stapelton's Grenadiers destroyed intentionally crops and food stores on Fuentes leading to great suffering among the worlds population, an action, the Regulan unit saw as profoundly dishonorable. Subsequently the Fourth declared an official feud against the Capellan unit that would last fifty years until the Marik-Liao alliance of 3057.[1]
One year later in June of 3006 the unit capitalized on Alessandro Steiner's Operation Concentrated Weakness, where the Lyran Archon left the Commonwealth' interior nearly undefended, by conducting a deep raid on the important world of Coventry. The green defenders were completely surprised and unable to prevent the Hussars to seriously damage the Coventry Metal Works until the planetary militia was finally able to drive them off.[2]
Anton's Revolt
The Fourth fought Wolf's Dragoons on Vanra during Anton Marik's revolt.[1]
3050 - 3060
The Fourth Regulan Hussars returned to the Muscida system in the 3060's. There the established a new training camp and began preparing their own replacements.[3] The Mech regiment and aerospace wing were based on Avior in 3067 while their supporting infantry units were based on Tiber.[4]
Jihad
In 3077 the Fourth Regulan Hussars landed on Diass, which brought the Regulan Free States under the control of the Principality of Regulus. Backing up the 1st Regulan Hussars and the 2nd Regulan Hussars, the Fourth Hussars launched a massive public relations effort to win over the Diassans. The most visible effort was from the Royal Ghurka infantry units that patrolled the cities. These troops went about unarmored and carrying only their kukri knives as armament. The trust that the Fourth's infantrymen placed in the good intentions of the Diassans went a long way to defusing the tension that had built up when the Fourth Regulan Hussars arrived.[5]
Officers
As of 3025 the units commanding officer was Colonel Gary Carter.[6]
As of 3050 to 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel Falco Palmero.[1][7][8] Colonel Palmero was still in command in 3067.[4]
As of 3085 the commanding officer is Colonel Edmund Jhala.[9]
Tactics
Specialize in raiding and quick-strike tactics.[1]
