We're a casual, laid-back group looking for new pilots, groups of IRL friends, and all those who want the pride and camaraderie of a unit without time commitments or skill expectations. Feel free to message me if you're interested or want to know more! We've currently looking to fill out a second lance.
The Outfit
The 4th Oriente Hussars serve the Duchy of Oriente and the wider Free Worlds League in times of both war and peace. Known as a "Voice in the Dark," the proud Hussars are willing to fight for those lost in forgotten corners during dark times of war. The Fourth specializes in mobile, quick strike warfare; accordingly, most of our pilots specialize in light- and medium-weight 'Mechs.
The 4th Oriente possesses a long history of proud service to the Free Worlds League and the Duchy of Oriente. Our finest hour came in 3038. During the Andurien Secession, the Hussars, alongside the 1st Free World Guards and the Thirtieth Marik Militia, fought a long, grueling engagement with the rebellious 6th Defenders of Andurien on the world Lopez. Utilizing swift raiding tactics that reflect the Hussar's preference for light- and medium-weight BattleMechs, the Hussars and other loyal FWL units ultimately emerged victorious in October, 3038. More can be learned about our glorious past here.
The Gameplay
The 4th Oriente Hussars proudly belong to the Free Worlds League Military (FWLM), a consortium of House Marik units that operate within MechWarrior Online. The Fourth specifically welcomes Mechwarriors who want the pride and colors of a House Marik unit, but cannot guarantee the time required of more demanding, regimented outfits. The Hussars offer casual players an outfit where they can enjoy other Mechwarriors' camaraderie without feeling any pressure to play at a certain level or for a certain amount of time. Hussars generally fight when they want, when they can, no questions asked!
All that being said, we do strive to offer organization and structure for those players who invest greater time in the service of the Fourth and House Marik.
Like many MWO units, the Hussars utilize TeamSpeak, a free program that allows us to use voice chat in battle. We can be found in the FWLM House Marik TeamSpeak server (more information regarding TeamSpeak can be found in the forums).
In battle, the Fourth operates by a few simple principles: cohesion, coordination and communication. Hussars work together, calling targets and coordinating their fire on enemy 'Mechs. Constant communication and teamwork are the hallmarks of victory. As an outfit, we try to coordinate one outfit-wide drop time per week; it's nice to get the whole gang together and wreck some enemy 'Mechs! This is an opportunity for Mechwarriors to gain experience fighting alongside both their lancemates and other Hussars in general.
The Command
The 4th Oriente Hussars are currently looking to field multiple lances of four Mechwarriors apiece; these lances will be organized around gameplay and how often Mechwarriors log-in. We are currently accepting pilots specializing in all weight classes. If our outfit continues to grow, we will organize companies and possibly battalions as necessary. The Hussars are led by Captain Polignac and Senior Lieutenant McKendrick.
The Personnel
We invite any and all Mechwarriors to apply to the Hussars (the application form can be found under the Recruitment tab). If you are looking for a hardcore, ultra-competitive outfit, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a community of open-minded and Mechwarriors who wish to grow in skill and experience, we are who you've been looking for.
