History

The homeworld of the 1st Crucis Lancers is Bastrop.

In the Fourth Succession War, the 1st Crucis Lancers attacked Tikonov alongside the other members of the Crucis Lancers brigade. After taking Tikonov, they moved on to attack Achernar and Bharat.[1]

During the FedCom Civil War the 1st Crucis Lancers took Kilbourne and Woodbine before landing on Tsamma. Their luck changed there, being bogged down on Tsamma for two years of combat. The 3rd Crucis Lancers arrived and assisted the 1st in taking Tsamma. The 1st and 3rd then went to New Avalon to attack forces loyal to Katherine Steiner-Davion. After the New Avalon attacks, the 1st Crucis Lancers were at approximately one-half their listed strength.[2]

As of 3062 the Commanding Officer was Marshal Mordecai Rand-Davion.
