After General Kerensky's exodus, some Star League soldiers remained in the Inner Sphere. Some of these drifted into the Federated Suns where, during the First Succession War, Prince John Davion organized all incomplete units into the Crucis Lancers. The Lancers held tight to many of the traditions of the Star League even as they have fully integrated themselves into the AFFS. Therefore, the modern Crucis Lancers recruit almost exclusively from worlds within the Crucis March.
The 7th Crucis Lancers includes a company known as "The Fox's Teeth", which were originally the famed mercenary unit McKinnon's Raiders.[citation needed]

History
All eight Crucis Lancer RCT's were used in the Fourth Succession War's assault on Tikonov.
During the Jihad, the Third CL were destroyed, but their conventional assets were used to rebuild the Second and Seventh Crucis Lancers. In addition, two Crucis Lancer units took part in Operation SCOUR. During the liberation of Terra, it was elements of the Fifth Crucis Lancers that disabled the SDS control center.
After the Jihad ended, the Princess-Regent personally promised the Crucis Lancers that they would be rebuilt to full Regimental Combat Teams. This means that the Crucis Lancers were one of the few AFFS units that wasn't reorganized along the lines of the Light Combat Team.[1]
Units of the Crucis Lancers
The Crucis Lancers have eight regiments organized as:
- 1st Crucis Lancers
- 2nd Crucis Lancers
