The Second Magistracy Highlanders were formed from the Canopian Highlanders a mercenary unit that had spent most of its existence in the Magistracy of Canopus.
Contents
History
During the Pirates War the Second was assigned to reinforce the Screaming Eagles mercenary unit. The Screaming Eagles and the Highlanders didn't get along, and this lack of coordination led to several instances of preventable collateral damage. After a reprimand from the MAF High Command, the two units worked together, but the Screaming Eagles didn't renew their contract. The Second returned to Luxen and was officially sworn in as a line regiment shortly after the Screaming Eagles left the Magistracy in 3059. The Screaming Eagles lost a regiment to a misjump, and to honor the lost troops the Second Highlanders changed their insignia to an eagle whose wings guard Canopus.[1]
In 3064 the Second Magistracy Highlanders were split into two battalions and garrisoned Luxen and Dalnmar Majoris.[2]
After the formation of the Fronc Reaches the Second Magistracy Highlanders joined the 1st Magistracy Highlanders on Detroit. They fended off several pirate raids during this time.[3][4]
During the Jihad the Second and First Magistracy Highlanders joined forces to push Word of Blake troops out of the Magistracy.
Immediately after the Jihad ended, the Second was deployed to Addasar.[5] They were then sent to Fanardir to keep watch over the Free Worlds League border. The Highlanders dealt with several raids from former League forces, the most notable was a raid by troops based at Aspropirgos. In that raid the Second's CO, Colonel Dorothy Skaw, was killed. The Second landed on Aspropirgos and destroyed every DropShip and shipyard on the world in retaliation. The Second then returned to Fanardir.[6]
