As of [[3085]] the Eighth was assigned to garrison [[Vosloorus]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 87</ref> The Eighth visited [[Kendall]] in [[3083]]. There they engaged elements of the [[1st Marik Protectors]] and the Kendall militia. Though they outnumbered the defenders, they were unprepared for the extensive bunkers, missile emplacements, and conventional fighters that defended the planet. After two days of unending attacks, the Eighth withdrew.<ref>''Spotlight On: First Marik Protectors'', p. 3</ref> The Eighth Regulan Hussars were stationed on [[Ibarra]] in [[3097]]. While there the world was raided by the [[2nd Loyalty Defenders|Second Loyalty Defenders]]. One of the Eighth's tactical nuclear weapons misfired and destroyed a major city. The RSMC immediately seized the Eighth's stockpile of nuclear weapons and forced them to undertake a training program that focused on actual combat tactics. This punishment went on for several decades before the Eighth was seen as a capable part of the Regulan Hussars.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 111</ref> The Eighth was stationed on Ibarra in 3145.<ref name="FM:3145p116"/> In [[3148]] Ibarra was invaded by the Second Loyalty Defenders and [[2nd Rim Commonality Guards]].
