History
Formed 3003 from a private mining cooperation for his son (under pressure). They worked as defensive unit primarily and with the right connections stand away from any major fight. Many considered them as a "Paper Tiger". In 3050 the unit was employed by the Federated Commonwealth and assigned to garrison McGehee.[1] 3030s the unit joined the FWLM and fought during Operation Guerrero for the Styk Commonality. Their task was to secure Gan Singh. The unit reached their goal under heavy looses, under the death were the commander Elliot Webb. After that event the Cuirassiers worked for and against many factions in the Chaos March.
In 3067, the unit was last seen on Fletcher and was subsequently listed as wanted by the MRBC after accepting employment from the Word of Blake. They were suspected to have raided Lesalles in 3072.[2] They also worked alongside the Word of Blake's Eleventh Division and 47th Shadow Division when they assaulted Galatea.[3] The Martian Cuirassiers remained in the employ of the Word of Blake until their destruction on Hall on the 3rd of April 3073. Despite being wanted by the MRBC, the Cuirassiers were actually destroyed by their own employers; the Word of Blake's 52nd Shadow Division destroyed the Cuirassiers as an unexpectedly harsh response to a contract dispute.[4][5] Documents recovered after the end of the Jihad indicated that the Cuirassiers refused an order to destroy the city of Bastrop as an "object lesson" for the citizens of Hall. The 52nd interpreted this as "breach of contract" and destroyed the Cuirassiers.[6]
