The Hessens are local troops raised from various military-oriented families of New Hessen. Used principally for the defense of this particular world (which sponsors the units financially) and those of Westerhand and Alrescha, the Hessens have seen only one action outside the Tikonov Commonality, in 2987, when they were involved in the raid against Aosia. The Hessens overran several Davion fortified positions, capturing several lances of artillery and support equipment before being turned back by superior Davion reserves. Preferring to remain at home (at little cost to the Confederation), they represent a cheap defensive contingent to a Confederation whose economy eagerly welcomes a bargain.
