History[edit]
The Second Federated Suns Lancers LCT was formed as part of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns defensive rearmament program of 3132, that led to the expansion of the Federated Suns Lancers into a full brigade.[1]
The Second fought the Second McCarron's Armored Cavalry to a standstill on New Hessen in 3144, however with the loss of near-by worlds the Second was forced to retreat to Caselton.[1]

Tactics[edit]
The Second was formed using a core of assault BattleMechs that made it the brigade's dedicated assault force. The unit fielded no 'Mech under 70 tons. This was complemented by equally heavy armor forces, using designs such as the Paladin and the Destrier. To offset its limited mobility, the Second Lancers cavalry forces were made up exclusively of fast hover tanks and the battle armor used VTOLs exclusively for battlefield transport.[1]
