Stapleton's Iron Hand

Stapleton's Iron Hand was a regiment in service to the Capellan Confederation up until the Fourth Succession War.

History

During the Fourth Succession War the unit took moderate casualties in the failed defense of Tikonov. During that fighting, they faced elements of the 6th Crucis Lancers. The remnants became later part of the 2nd Republican.

During the Fourth Succession War Pavel Ridzik wanted to move Stapleton's Iron Hand up and use it as the core of a counterattack into the Federated Suns. This proved to be impossible.
