The '''St. Ives Cheveau Legers''' were raised on [[St. Ives]] and served the [[CCAF]] with distinction.
 +
 
 +
==History==
 +
The St. Ives Cheveau Legers were formed shortly after the formation of the [[Capellan Confederation]] as a force that could be deployed outside of the [[St. Ives Commonality]]. By [[2765]] they held the distinction of participating in every conflict fought by the CCAF, and fighting against every state surrounding the Confederation. They were the garrison of [[Hurgh]] in 2765.<ref nme=FR:2765CCp14>''Field Report 2765: Capellan Confederation'', p. 14, "St. Ives Armored Cavalry" - Regimental Status</ref>
 +
 
 +
They first saw combat against the [[Free Worlds League]] on [[Lopez]]. They fought the [[Defenders of Andurien]] between [[2366]] and [[2368]]. Though forced off Lopez the Cheveau Legers raided [[Mansu-ri]] and [[Dalton]] two years later, embarrassing the Marik defenders. They also defended [[Vanra]] against Marik raiders in [[2450]]. The Legers then drove the [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] off [[Ogilvie]] in [[2790]]. Between [[2808]] and [[2816]] they raided the Free Worlds League systems of [[Nova Roma]], [[Holt]], and [[Sorunda]].
 +
 
 +
The Legers were surprised by a [[Federated Suns]] mercenary unit on [[Indicass]] in [[2905]]. The Cheveau Legers responded by raiding a Syrtis Fusiliers camp three years later, capturing a ''[[Leopard]]''-class DropShip and several 'Mechs. The Fusiliers responded by trapping the unit on [[Royalston]] in [[2915]]. In the course of a two day engagement the [[AFFS]] unit inflicted huge casualties on the unit, forcing them to spend the next eighteen years rebuilding.
 +
 
 +
The Cheveau Legers were assigned to garrison [[Weekapaug]] and baited the AFFS forces stationed nearby, inviting them to try to take the world away from the [[CCAF]]. The Syrtis Fusiliers took the bait in [[2950]], and the two units spent the next three weeks engaged in a brutal slugfest. Between [[2960]] and the Fourth Succession War, the Cheveau Legers spent most of their time rotating between agricultural planets in the St. Ives Commonality.<ref name=HLp89/>
 +
 
 +
In the [[Fourth Succession War]] the unit didn't see any action and later defected to the newly formed [[St. Ives Compact]].
 +
 
 +
===Operation Bulldog===
 +
During [[Operation Bulldog]] the St. Ives Cheveau Legers joined with the [[8th Dieron Regulars]], [[1st Canopian Cuirassiers]], and [[11th Alshain Avengers]] to defend [[Meinacos]] from the Smoke Jaguar's 267th Battle Cluster. The Eighth Dieron drove into the 267th Cluster's flank, while the 11th Alshain distracted them and the Canopian Cuirassiers cut off the Clan unit's retreat.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 41</ref>
 +
 
 +
===Xin Sheng===
 +
After fighting against the clans the unit returned just in time for the opening battles of the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]], after 2 years of fighting there was not enough left to rebuild the unit so the survivors were distributed among the St. Ives Armored Cavalry to make up for battle losses elsewhere.{{cn}}
