History
Formation
The Eighth Confederation Reserve Cavalry was one of three Reserve Cavalry regiments to be mustered by the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces between the Amaris Coup and the beginning of the First Succession War.[1][2]
The Dark Age
The Eighth Confederation Reserve Cavalry was reactivated in secret sometime before 3144 as one of the Hidden Lion regiments formed by Chancellor Daoshen Liao using stockpiled equipment.[3] This new CRC unit used the Augmented Regiment formations common to the CCAF by 3145.[4] They were a second-line regiment of the Sian Commonality.[5] The Eighth CRC was formed via the Capellan Confederation conscripting one member from every noble house in possession of a BattleMech.[3]
In 3145, the unit participated in Operation CELESTIAL REWARD. The Eighth CRC was part of the task force defeated in the first invasion of Tikonov. Five months later, the second invasion of Tikonov occurred but their poor performance in the previous attack relegated the regiment to guarding the attack force’s drop-zone. They were then assigned to guard the Taurian Concordat border far from any conflict. It is expected that the bulk of their personnel would be reassigned or cashiered as soon as possible.[3]
