The roots of the '''Raventhir Cuirassiers''' brigade lie in conventional regiments. At their foundation in 3056, both regiments consisted solely of infantry and were known as the '''Raventhir Footmen'''.<ref>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 26</ref> [[Emma Centrella]] announced the creation of the new brigade to honor a line of military leaders who were loyal to the [[Magistracy of Canopus|Magistracy]]. The formation created some disturbance between the members of the [[Trinity Alliance]], because no one expected such action without information being provided to the others. The individual regiments are on their way to showing their loyalty through serious service.<ref>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 27</ref>

The name for the new unit comes from a noble line in Centrella family history. In [[2689]], [[Kim Centrella]] gave birth to triplets. The two boys took their father's surname, Raventhir, thus establishing the Raventhiri noble family line.<ref>''The Periphery'', p. 51</ref>

During the [[Jihad]] the Raventhir Cuirassiers spent their time protecting the Magistracy from pirates and bandits, some of which were likely backed by the [[Word of Blake]]. These units were not equipped with the advanced technology needed to defeat the Blakists, so this decision made sense. By [[3085]] the two units had been broken up into battalion sized units and stationed on worlds on the Magistracy's border with the [[Fronc Reaches]]. There they had to deal with a great deal of pirate activity.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 140</ref>
