Originally formed during the [[Age of War]] after the founding of the [[Magistracy Free State]] - later known as the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] - the 3rd Canopian Light Horse fought valiantly in the [[Reunification War]] until the unit's destruction.

====Cranston====
 
====Cranston====
The 3rd Light Horse transports entered the Cranston system through a pirate jump point and successfully landed on the planet, bringing AeroSpace support with them; the [[58th Brigade]] had been trying to pin down the defending [[1st Canopian Grenadiers]] with the assistance of a supporting [[Free Worlds League Military]] unit, either the [[1st Marik Militia]] or the [[2nd Orloff Grenadiers]], and suddenly found itself with a war on two fronts. The SLDF commanding General decided to split his force, allowing the greater part to concentrate on the Grenadiers while the remainder tried to stop the 3rd Light Horse from linking up with the 1st Grenadiers. The Canopian regiments bloodied the 58th Brigade and established what became the watchword for MAF tactics during the Reunification War, executing a highly-mobile defense that played to their strengths.<ref name="H:RWp97"/><ref name="H:RWp148"/>

In mid-[[2579]] the SLDF task force assigned the [[57th Brigade]] and the [[61st Royal Brigade]] to conquer Eleusis, reinforced by the [[401st Independent Regiment]], the [[35th Royal CAAN Marine Regiment]] - all drawn from [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]] - the [[5th Marik Militia]] and the [[1st Fusiliers of Oriente|1st Brigade]] of the [[Fusiliers of Oriente]], drawn from the Marik auxiliaries supporting VII Corps.<ref name="H:RWp148"/> The SLDF expected to face a couple of [['Mech]] regiments supported by a handful of conventional regiments, but had been outmaneuvered by the MAF; instead, they faced four 'Mech regiments, including the [[1st Canopian Light Horse|1st]], [[2nd Canopian Light Horse|2nd]] <ref name="H:RWp101">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 101-102</ref>and 3rd Light Horse alongside the mercenary unit [[Samuelson's Slaughterers]] plus eighteen conventional regiments.<ref name="H:RWp101"/>

The MAF forces turned what should have been a two-week campaign into a six month campaign, inflicting more damage on the SLDF than they suffered in turn, but slowly losing because the MAF supply chain couldn't keep up with losses due to battlefield attrition as well as the SLDF support network. Orders received from Colonel Buquoy and countersigned by [[Magestrix]] [[Crystalla Centrella]] ordered the various MAF forces to retreat on the 19th of September; the MAF could have held out for several more months, but only at the cost of all the units being lost.<ref name="H:RWp101"/>

Less than a year after the battle for Eleusis, the 3rd Light Horse faced the SLDF again, this time on the world of [[Gallis]]. Outnumbered significantly by the [[59th Brigade]] and supporting FWLM regiments, the Light Horse fought alongside [[Buquoy's Bandits]] and managed to sting the SLDF units before retreating to preserve their strength for later campaigns.<ref name="H:RWp101"/>

====Tetski====
The last battle of the Reunification War that the 3rd Light Horse would fight was on the important industrial world of [[Tetski]]. The 3rd Light Horse defended Tetski on the ground, while a MAF naval picket defended the system; the SLDF inserted two [[battalion|battalions]] of the [[1st Marik Militia]] onto Tetski in early September [[2582]], a distraction intended to tie up the 3rd Light Horse. After five days of extended combat across the wilds of Tetski, the SLDF launched the second stage of the invasion, launching a surprise assault where a large [[WarShip]] contingent tore through the defending picket, destroying both vessels before dropping the [[58th Brigade]] onto the planet along with more than two regiments of FWLM forces. The 3rd Light Horse made a high-speed run to the capital city of Tokhai and the vital BattleMech repair facilities there, arriving just ahead of the SLDF troops. Refusing calls to surrender in the face of overwhelming numbers, the 3rd Light Horse fought to the last man, inflicting heavy losses on the invaders before the regiment was destroyed.<ref name="H:RWp101"/>

=== Star League Era ===
+
===Jihad===
The Third was rebuilt by the Magistracy after the end of the Reunification War. The Third was frequently deployed as part of the Magistracy's rapid response force, and frequently encountered bandits and pirates. To assist in this task, they had the usual complement of JumpShips and DropShips, but were also supported by a permanently assigned ''[[Pinto (WarShip class)|Pinto]]''-class WarShip. In 2765 they were based on [[Canopus IV]], but the SLDF's Intelligence Command suspected that they were also being used to raid [[Free Worlds League]] systems.<ref>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 14</ref>
+
The 3rd Light Horse was still stationed in [[Adherlwin]] when the [[Word of Blake]] hit the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] with a broad [[HPG]] blackout; shortly after the local HPGs went down, the Blakists attacked Adherlwin with a mix of their own forces and  hired mercenaries. The 3rd Light Horse were quickly routed, with the majority of the senior staff killed; the highest-ranking officer to survive the initial battles was [[Major]] [[Elizabeth DeLaHunt]], who assumed command of the survivors and led them on an extended guerilla campaign against the Blakists until she was killed by the [[41st Shadow Division]] in late February [[3072]]. The 3rd Light Horse's efforts against the Blakists were severely hampered by their lack of modern equipment, but they continued to fight under the command of Major [[Joe Cataio]], the last surviving senior officer, up until the end of the [[Jihad]]. By the time the 3rd left Adherlwin, almost half of their casualties lay in unmarked graves within the Meniuk Forest.<ref name="FM:3085p138">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 138, "Chasseurs á Cheval Brigade"</ref> By [[3079]] the 2nd had been redeployed to [[Marantha]], but were still only at just over half strength.<ref name="FR:Pp10">''Field Report: Periphery'', p. 10, "Magistracy of Canopus"</ref>  
  
===Clan Invasion===
+
===Post-Jihad Era===
The Third was rebuilt in [[3057]]. They were proud to inherit the mantle of the original Third Light Horse, but their lack of activity since their founding led to a unit that wasn't performing at its full potential. The unit was eager to fight, but the MCC's unwillingness to post them to an active border led to their dissatisfaction with their deployment. The unit's morale suffered deeply because of this, and led to a tense relationship with the Magestrix.<ref>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 35</ref> This tension continued through [[3067]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 191</ref>
+
After the Jihad Major Cataio was promoted to Colonel, and given command of the regiment formally; after his promotion, Cataio did his best to ensure that the 2nd received more advanced technology and upgrades, to prevent a reoccurance of their losses on Adherlwin. The Meniuk Forest on Adherlwin was declared a mass grave and a national reserve by the Magistracy in honour of the dead from the Chasseurs á Cheval buried there. The 3rd was redeployed to the world of [[Borgan's Rift]], close to Adherlwin, and dispensation for transport was given for any who wished to travel to Adherlwin to pay their respects.<ref name="FM:3085p138"/>

By the mid-thirty-second century the Third was considered to be the most mobile of the Chasseurs á Cheval, and had been deployed for some time on the border between the [[Capellan Confederation]] and the [[Duchy of Andurien]]. First posted to the region at the beginning of the century, the Third had initially been used as a rapid reaction force to prevent forces from the Duchy from raiding Capellan supply depots in the region. With the improved relations between the Duchy, the Magistracy, and the Confederation, the Third redeployed further coreward and the Third's mission changed to engaging raiders from the [[Oriente Protectorate]] and launching retaliatory raids.<ref name="FM:3145p192">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 192, "Chasseurs Á Cheval"</ref> Since being posted to [[Boardwalk]] the Third sometimes acted alongside the [[2nd Canopian Fusiliers|Second Canopian Fusiliers]] who were based on the nearby world of [[Iknogoro]].<ref name="FM:3145p193">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 193, "Canopian Fusiliers"</ref>
