Red Lancers

History

First raised as the Second Hexare Lancers, the Red Lancers gained their current name when they hunted down and destroyed a rouge Capellan Hussar unit that had assassinated Chancellor Duncan Liao in 2452.

The Red Lancers forestalled a Capellan Civil war in 2989 by throwing their support behind Maximilian Liao.

Despite being stationed on Sian during the Fourth Succession War the Red Lancers did not take part in the defense against the raid of the 1st Kathil Uhlans on 24th October 3029 as only mechs of Warrior House Imarra stood at the space port as honor guard for what they believed were the victorious returning 4th Tau Ceti Rangers.
