By the end of the [[Star League]] era the '''Second Arcadian Cuirassiers''' could claim a history dating back more than four and a half centuries.

Demeter proved loyal to the Federated Suns, as did the Arcadian Cuirassiers, who as Demeter's premiere combat unit were incorporated into the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]] and the FPF's successor organization, the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. Demeter's loyalty was rewarded with heavy investments in planetary infrastructure by the Federated Suns government, and the Cuirassiers also benefited from this investment; the Cuirassiers commonly received much of their equipment from the massive [[Lycomb-Davion IntroTech]] production facilities on Demeter throughout the existence of the brigade.<ref name="FR:FS2765p11"/>

When the [[Star League]] Council issued the [[Council Edict of 2650]], the Federated Suns was required to draw down its military, as were the other [[Great House]]s, and many units were deactivated.

The Second was reactivated in [[2755]] and rebuilt swiftly using a combination of large quantities of equipment from the Lycomb-Davion IntroTech facilities and considerable trained manpower from the ranks of the [[Demeter Planetary Uniformed Guard]].<ref name="FR:FS2765p11"/> The Second proved to be a loyal and reliable unit just like its sister regiment, the [[First Arcadian Cuirassiers]], but lacked the mobility to act as a mobile formation and proved ineffective when used outside the Chesterton Combat Region of the Federated Suns.<ref name="FR:FS2765p11"/>
