==History==
===Formation===
A relative newcomer to the [[Chesterton Reserves]], the original '''Kingston's Legionnaires''' were formed during the [[Third Succession War]] from the remnants of two poor performing regiments, the [[6th Confederation Reserve Cavalry]] and [[Shadrack's Shadowhawks]], taken out of active service after a failed attack on the [[Federated Suns]] world of [[Bristol]] in [[2915]].<ref name=HLp85>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 85: "Kingston's Legionnaires Unit Profile"</ref>

They were renamed '''Kingston's Rangers''' or '''Kingston's Victoria Commonality Rangers''' following their reassignment to the Victoria Commonality Rangers brigade in [[3062]]. '''1st Victoria Rangers''' is their current name following reorganization after the [[Capellan Crusades]]. They were previously a high-spirited unit known for sometimes questionable tactics.

The regiment is traditionally medium weight<ref name=HLp85/> and, as of 3145, a second-line unit for the Victoria Commonality.

===Third Succession War===
The unit's first major action occurred in [[2952]] when the Legionnaires' ''[[Cheetah]]''s, backed by ''[[Thunderbird (Aerospace Fighter class)|Thunderbird]]''s and ''[[Eagle (Aerospace Fighter class)|Eagles]]'' from assorted reserve regiments, fended off incursions against [[Ingersoll]] by the [[Marik Guard]].<ref name=HLp85/>

The Legionnaires' next major assignment almost led to their destruction, tangling with the [[Forty-second Avalon Hussars]] during the siege of [[Fletcher (CC)|Fletcher]] in [[2985]]. Greatly outnumbered and suffering poor communication, the Hussars ''[[Marauder]]''s proved deadly, with over 60 percent of the Legionnaires destroyed before reinforcements could extract the survivors.<ref name=HLp85/>

At the end of the [[Third Succession War]], the Legionnaires consisted of two [[Battalion]]s stationed on the planet of [[Heligoland]].<ref name=HL2>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 105: "Deployment Table - 3025"</ref>

===Fourth Succession War===
Heligoland was targeted in the sixth wave of [[AFFS]]' [[Fourth Succession War]] invasion of the [[Capellan Confederation]], with the Legionnaires facing the [[6th Crucis Lancers]] [[RCT]]. Instead of attacking the Lancers' drop zones, the Legionnaires chose to hold the superior defensive positions in the hills around planet's capital city Helio. Recognizing the tough combat required extract to the Legionnaires from their dug-in positions, the Lancers instead captured the sole water reservoir for Helio and cut the supply. The Legionnaires lasted two weeks in the sweltering heat before realizing they could wait no longer, charging down from the hills directly into the teeth of the Lancers.

As the Legionnaires losses mounted, the unit's CO Colonel Mathias requested an audience with the commander of the Lancers Marshal [[Orval Gossiage]], offering to evacuate all Capellan forces off worlds in return for safe treatment of the planet's citizenry and transport for the Legionnaires and their families to the Capellan world of [[Minnacora]]. Despite the potential danger, the Marshal agreed to the terms.<ref name=fswma2>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 52</ref>

With the conclusion of the Fourth Succession War, the Legionnaires were one of just two units of the once mighty Chesterton Reserves to survive and remained on [[Minnacora]], now a frontline world on the border with the [[Federated Commonwealth]].<ref name=20Yp62>''20 Year Update'', p. 62: "CCAF Deployment Table - 3050"</ref>

===Andurien/Canopus Invasion===
The Legionnaires were stationed on [[Heligoland]] and Minnacora during this conflict. They didn't see any action.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 87</ref>

===War of 3039===
The Kingston's Legionnaires were assigned in late [[3039]] to reinforce the embattled remains of the [[15th Dracon]] against the [[2nd FedCom RCT]] retaliatory attack on [[Ares (system)|Ares]]. The arrival of the Legionnaires finally dislodged the 2nd and prompted them to withdraw off-world, but not before the FedCom unit had succeeded in their mission and comprehensively crippled the [[Bergan Industries]], [[Quikscell Company]] and [[Earthwerks Limited]] factories on Ares in revenge for [[McCarron's Armored Cavalry]]'s raids against the [[Federated Commonwealth]] during the [[War of 3039]].<ref name=HWo39-128>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 128: "Countering the Big Mac - Ares"</ref>

===Operation Guerrero===
In [[3057]], Kingston's Legionnaires were part of [[Operation GUERRERO]]. A single [[battalion]] of Legionnaires captured [[Sakhalin (CC)|Sakhalin]] from the [[Federated Commonwealth]]. Nearby [[Sarna]] was also under invasion but its garrison defeated the attacking [[CCAF]] units. Instead of upholding [[FedCom]] rule, Sarna declared independence and called itself the reborn [[Sarna Supremacy]]. The Sarna Supremacy then sent its garrison, the [[Kaifeng SMM]], to recapture [[Kaifeng]] from the Confederation. The other garrisons, [[Grim Determination]] and [[Tooth of Ymir]] mercenary regiments, were sent to Sakhalin where they easily overwhelmed the Legionnaires.<ref name=CMp13>''Chaos March (sourcebook)'', p. 13: "Sarna Supremacy"</ref>

===Task Force SERPENT===
Compared to the fanatical and elite units contributed by the other states, many were surprised when the Capellan Confederation sent the Legionnaires as their contribution to [[Task Force Serpent]], the reborn [[Star League]]'s assault on the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] homeworld of [[Huntress]] in [[3059]]. Publicly the reason stated was that with [[CCAF]]'s elite forces tied up with stabilizing the so-called [[Chaos March]] and [[Operation BULLDOG]] they couldn't afford to send anyone else, while many saw it as representing Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]]'s low expectation of the mission's success.<ref name=TOTC1>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 9</ref><ref>''The Hunters'', pp. 112–113</ref>

During the initial assault on Huntress in [[3060]], the Legionnaires were assigned with the [[1st Knights of the Inner Sphere]] to capture a cadet training base near the city of New Andery.<ref name=TOTC2>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 10</ref> Both units discovered the bases were defended by a new form of military unit, the [[ProtoMech]], and suffered heavy damage, requiring reinforcement by the [[2nd Division (ComStar)|2nd Com Guard Division]] to carry the day. The Legionnaires suffered nearly 70 percent losses in this first battle.<ref name=TOTC3>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 11</ref>

In preparation for the Smoke Jaguars' counterinvasion, along with the [[4th Drakøns]] and [[11th Lyran Guards]], the remains of the Legionnaires were transferred to the Lunar Range on the continent of Abysmal to act as reinforcement for the larger northern and southern armies. With losses mounting, the Legionnaires were assigned to bolster General Winston's northern army facing brutal combat in the Jaguar Fang mountains until the arrival of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s relief force.<ref name=TOTC4>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 13</ref>

Much of the CCAF were surprised both at the successful completion of Serpent and the Legionnaires' return, a battered battalion's worth of survivors bringing with them [[Clan]]-tech [[OmniMech]]s making their way back to Liao space.<ref name=FMCC2>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 84</ref>

===''Xin Sheng'' Campaign===
When the [[Victoria Commonality]] was split from the [[Sian Commonality]], the CCAF assigned the remains of the Chesterton Reserves to form the [[Victoria Commonality Rangers]], with the Legionnaires being renamed the Kingston's Rangers.<ref name=FM:CCp83>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 83</ref>

As the [[FedCom Civil War]] raged, the Rangers were posted on [[Yuris]] as a precaution against Duke [[George Hasek II|George Hasek]] fomented [[AFFS]] aggression, which eventually burst into minor conflict on [[Frazer]].<ref name=FMU1>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 24: "Unit Profile"</ref> By [[3067]] the unit was posted on [[Zanzibar]].<ref name=FMUp33>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 33: "CCAF Deployment Table - 3067"</ref>

===Jihad===
On 25 June [[3068]], Duke [[George Hasek II|George Hasek]] of the [[Capellan March]] launched an assault against the [[Capellan Confederation]] called [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]]. By October, numerous planets had fallen with the invaders appearing to use [[WarShip]]s in an orbital strike against the Forbidden City on [[Sian]] itself.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', pp. 17–18: "OPERATION: SOVEREIGN JUSTICE"</ref>

On 8 October 3068, the [[CCAF]] counterattacked with [[Operation THUNDERSTRIKE]]. The primary force behind this offensive were three Task Forces each consisting of two to three regiments. Of these, Task Force Vengeance consisted of the [[1st McCarron's Armored Cavalry]], the [[Prefectorate Guard]] and Kingston's Victoria Commonality Rangers. Moving rimward from Menke, Victoria and Zanzibar respectively, TF Vengeance attacked the worlds of [[Frazer]], [[Mendham]], [[Glentworth]], [[Wrentham]], and [[Robsart|Robstart]] in the Third Wave of the Operation in January-February of [[3069]]. Wave Four (May-June 3069) saw combat on [[Mandaree]] and the concentration of all three regiments on [[Ridgebrook]] which fell in August after heavy fighting. Finally, September-December of 3069 saw Wave Five on [[New Syrtis]] with all three Task Forces fighting the six AFFS regiments gathered there — the [[Sixth Syrtis Fusiliers]], [[New Syrtis CMM]], [[Third Ceti Hussars]], [[Fourth Donegal Guards]], [[Vanguard Legion]] and [[Borodin's Vindicators]]. The fighting would continue until January [[3070]] when Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] called for a ceasefire. However, the ceasefire was one-sided and the Capellans had to fight while withdrawing. Hostilities only truly ended when Duke Hasek was assassinated in March of [[3070]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', pp. 18–21: "Kingston's VCR exploits as part of Task Force Vengeance in Operation: Thunderstrike."</ref>

As of [[3079]], the regiment is spread across [[Zanzibar]], [[Yuris]], and [[Rollis]].<ref name="frcc14">''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 14</ref>

Most of the veterans from Task Force Serpent were killed during the Jihad operations. The unit spent most of their time after that rebuilding.<ref name=FM3085p31/> In [[3085]] they were stationed on [[Victoria (CC)|Victoria]].<ref name=FM3085p34>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 34</ref>

===The Republic Era===
On 7 September [[3103]], [[AFFS]] units under the command of Duchess [[Amanda Hasek (31st c.)|Amanda Hasek]] launched an invasion of the Capellan Confederation. Later dubbed the [[Victoria War]], its objectives were to capture Victoria and enough planets to bridge it back to the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=HWotRE-50>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 50: "BLITZKRIEG"</ref>

Kingston's VCR was still posted in the domed capital city of Barns on Victoria when Duchess Amanda Hasek's forces assaulted the planet on 12 September [[3103]]. While other units attacked other installations, capture of Barns was assigned to the [[3rd Federated Suns Lancers]]. After combat dropping a battalion to cut power to the city's HPG, the rest of the Lancers landed to be immediately attacked by the Victoria Militia. After defeating the Militia hours later, the weary 3rd FedSuns Lancers were then hit by a surprise attack from Kingston's Rangers. After some initial success, Kingston's VCR was pushed back and withdrew inside the city. The Rangers regiment would then use hit and run attacks while awaiting reinforcements.

The reinforcements came on September 20 in the form of [[Sung's Rangers]] and the already decimated Yuris [[Home Guard]]. After absorbing the Home Guard, Sung's VCR took to the hills surrounding Barns after failing to join her sister regiment inside the city. A stalemate then ensued for the next few weeks.

The [[Fifth McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] arrived on the 20th of October and prepared to attack the Earthwerks factory outside the city of O'Hanlon. In support of this, both Rangers regiments were ordered to attack the besieging 3rd FedSuns Lancers. However, poor coordination allowed the Lancers to fight each Rangers regiment separately resulting in huge casualties to Sung's Rangers. The 3rd Federated Suns Lancers lost over two-thirds of their regiment as well and withdrew the next day to the [[Shengli Arms]] factory in Pictish. The Siege of Barns was thus lifted and counted as a win for the Capellans. The Fifth McCarron's Armored Cavalry later arrived after brutal combat destroyed the Earthwerks factory, adding another regiment to Barns' defense.

[[Warrior House Kamata]] arrived on November 6 to replace the leaving Fifth McCarron's Armored Cavalry. On the 15th of November, the newly arrived [[Syrtis Avengers]] and [[Third Ceti Hussars]] began their assault on the city. Despite the support of House Kamata and now operating a combined force of just under a regiment, Kingston's and Sung's VCR broke against the fresh Davion units. The city of Barns finally fell as its former defenders fled into the wilderness. The 15th of December saw the battered Victoria Commonality regiments inflict significant damage on the surprised [[Sixth Syrtis Fusiliers]]<ref name=TRO:3145CCp14>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 14: "Notable Units"</ref> to break through and rendezvous with the just arrived [[Fifth Capellan Defense Force]] who then evacuated them off-planet to [[Quimberton]]. Their battle for Victoria was over.<ref name=HWotRE-51>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', pp. 51–54: "The Siege of Victoria"</ref>

After regrouping on Quimberton, the understrength Kingston's Rangers traveled to [[Zanzibar]] to reinforce the [[First Canopian Fusiliers]] and [[Second Canopian Cuirassiers]]. Their arrival on 15 March [[3104]] made the already outnumbered [[Sirdar CMM]]'s position impossible, forcing the CMM to retreat six weeks later.<ref name=HWotRE-58>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 58: "Celestial Justice - Capellans Ascendant"</ref>

Kingston's Victoria Commonality Rangers suffered 75% losses in the Victoria War.<ref name=HWotRE-65>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 65: "Casualties of the Victoria War"</ref>

===Dark Age===
Nursing plans for revenge ever since the brigade's embarrassing loss of their commonality capital, the Kingston and Sung Rangers were posted to Confederation's [[Periphery]] border by the [[Strategios]] to help mask the significant expansion of the renamed Victoria Rangers.

On 11 November [[3144]], the '''First Victoria Rangers''' took part in [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]]. All five Victoria Rangers regiments were assigned to liberate Victoria. Sang-shao [[Elena Kingston]] ensured her troops were the first CCAF regiment to hit the surface of the old commonality capital by having Kingston's Air Rangers focus on opening holes in a series of geodesic domes over the one of the world's major industrial regions. With a clear path into the world's inhabited cavern network, the First Rangers combat dropped directly into Victoria's extensive underground tunnels. Though they suffered heavy losses in the brutal short-range fighting, the Davion forces never recovered from the shocking appearance of Capellan troops within their rear. The AFFS garrison retreated soon afterwards.<ref name=FM:3145p43/>

As of [[3145]] the First Rangers remained on Victoria at 60% of their full strength.<ref name=FM:3145p47/>

===Notes===
As part of a deal struck when the Legionnaires still belonged to the Chesterton Reserves, the Kingston family is entitled to hereditary command positions in the unit, though regimental and even battalion command are still determined based on skill by the CCAF. Part of this bargain also insures that the unit only retains the Kingston name as long as one member of the Kingston line serves in the unit. The Kingston family also presents a new 'Mech to the commanding officer, whether they are related or not every year.<ref name=FM:CCp83/>

==Tactics==
The harder an enemy beats on the Rangers, the harder they fight back. While this stand and deliver style leads to heavy losses, the Rangers seem willing to pay this cost rather than allow an enemy to strike with impunity.<ref name=FMCC2/>

==Notes==
The majority of the Rangers use a two-color patchwork camouflage and always include red highlights. Those Rangers who fought in Clan space however use the jungle pattern paint scheme they used on Huntress, showing no sign of ever changing. Newer recruits may not use this color pattern.<ref name=FMCC2>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 84</ref>

Kingston's Rangers regimental insignia is a hawk pierced by a lance, set over a red circular field. As with other reserve divisions, the Victoria Commonality Rangers use the Confederation crest as their only insignia aside from a regimental emblem. Their version of the crest is backed by a steel-colored field.<ref name=FM:CCp83/>

The unit is sometimes referred to as Kingston's Victoria Commonality Rangers (or Kingston's VCR) in later source books.
