==History==
The '''Seventh Regulan Hussars''' were formed as a medium weight BattleMech regiment from ex–Star League troops and in [[2786]] were deployed to [[Köln (FWL)|Köln]].<ref name=FSW138>''First Succession War'', p. 138</ref> They were stationed on [[Kyrkbacken]] in [[2808]] when [[House Liao]] launched an assault against the world with five BattleMech regiments. The Seventh put up a dogged defense but after a week of fighting they had been destroyed. The Liao invaders committed numerous war crimes during this offensive and not a single Regulan prisoner was taken. The Hussars as a whole carried a deep grudge against Capellan forces for centuries because of this action. <ref>''Rolling Thunder'', p. 6 "First Succession War"</ref>

===Rebirth===
The Seventh Regulan Hussars was re-formed from the [[Ronin Incorporated]] security battalion in [[3069]]. When the [[Principality of Regulus]] declared independence, the unit was drafted into the Regulan Hussars. The unit has accepted replacements from many former [[Free Worlds League]] regiments, typically soldiers who have deserted from their regiment.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 87</ref> They were stationed on [[Wallis]] in [[3079]].<ref>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 9</ref> In [[3085]] they were the garrison for [[Harmony]].<ref name="FM:3085p92"/>

===Dark Age===
The unit initially found it difficult to adapt to the requirements of the Regulan Strategic Military Command, but in the decades since the Jihad they became a valued member of the Regulan Hussars. They were stationed on [[Regulus]] in 3145 after taking some losses while raiding the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]]. While there they were training replacement armor and infantry units and rebuilding its 'Mech battalion.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 110</ref>

When war broke out between the Free Worlds League and Regulus in [[3146]], the Seventh was stationed on [[Jouques]]. In October the [[4th Marik Protectors|Fourth Marik Protectors]], having joined the League, landed on the planet and eventually forced the Seventh Hussars off-world.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 21</ref> [[3147|A year later]], when [[Regulus]] itself was invaded, the Seventh was part of the garrison protecting Regulus City. After the [[Clan Sea Fox]] invaders publicly offered to sell goods to the blockade-starved denizens, the Seventh was ordered by [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Lester Cameron-Jones]] to suppress any such traffic between his subjects and the Clanners. Following this, the Seventh and its [[Beta Aimag (Spina Khanate)|Beta Aimag]] opponents faced off against each other waiting for the stalemate to break.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 36-37</ref>

==Composition History==
=== 2786 - 2821===
'''7th Regulan Hussars^ ''' (Regiment/Regular/Questionable) <ref name= FSSp138 >''First Succession War'', p. 138</ref>
: Note: At this point in time the medium-weight unit was stationed on [[Köln (FWL)]]. In 2821 the command was reduced to 38 of its strength and was deployed at [[Remulac]]. <ref name= FSSp138/>
=== 2830 ===
'''7th Regulan Hussars''' (Regiment/Veteran/Questionable) <ref name=2ndSSp98>''Second Succession War'', p. 98 </ref>
: Note: At this point in time the medium-weight unit was stationed on [[Remulac]] with an operational readiness of 89 percent. <ref name=2ndSSp98/> The unit was destroyed during the war.<ref name=2ndSSp98/>

===3079===
'''Seventh Regulan Hussars ''' (Battalion/Green/Reliable) <ref name =“frfwlm9“>'' Field Report: FWLM'' , p. 9</ref>
: Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Wallis]].<ref name =“frfwlm9“/>

===3085===
'''Seventh Regulan Hussars''' (1 Battalion/Green/Reliable)<ref name="FM:3085p92"/>
* CO: [[Colonel]] [[Kaoru Akechi]]
: Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Harmony]].

===3145===
'''Seventh Regulan Hussars''' - Regular/Reliable <ref name="FM:3145p116"/>
* 1 Battalion

==Notes==
* ''[[First Succession War (sourcebook)|First Succession War]]'' lists the unit as being at 38% full strength on the planet [[Remulac]] in [[2821]]. This seems at odds with the information in ''[[Rolling Thunder (scenario pack)|Rolling Thunder]]'', but could represent an attempt to rebuild the regiment after its destruction in 2808.
