The Second Capellan Chargers were formed originally as a heavy guard unit charged with protecting the Library of the Capellan Republic. Over the centuries the role of the Second Chargers evolved and they were active across the entire Confederation during the [[Age of War]], usually being found in the midst of any Capellan offensive. The Second Chargers were one of two regiments within the Chargers to remain active after other formations had been transferred to the newly-formed [[Star League Defense Force]] during the buildup to the [[Reunification War]] or deactivated following the formation of the Star League.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/>

Despite being largely assigned to quiet garrison duty during the Star League era, the cavaliers of the Second Chargers maintained their combat prowess through a regiment of constant drill, and no matter where the Second Chargers were assigned the regiment continued to maintain an honor guard at the Library of the Capellan Republic, even after the Capellan Chargers began to rapidly expand again as a brigade following the repeal of the [[Council Edict of 2650]] by the Star League Council in [[2752]].<ref name="FR:CC2765"/>

As with the other regiments of Chargers the cavaliers of the Second were heavily indoctrinated with the brigade mythos of the apparent-invincibility, an attitude that had the potential to become a critical flaw in combat.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/>

===First Succession War===
As one of the premier regiments serving the [[Capellan Confederation]] at the start of the [[First Succession War]], the Capellan Chargers won many battles against opponents of equal strength or better. However, their unwillingness to retreat or surrender made them vulnerable to nuclear weapons and overwhelming odds. The unit was destroyed by the end of the First Succession War.<ref name="FM:3145p34">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 34: "Capellan Chargers"</ref><ref name="FSWp135"/>
