History[edit]
Chancellor Liao awarded Pavel Ridzik with command of the Stapleton's Iron Hand in 2991 for assisting him in gaining the Chancellorship.[1] The Colonel relinquished his command of the Prefectorate Guard, and transferred to his new command.
Fourth Succession War[edit]
During the Fourth Succession War, the unit took moderate casualties in the failed defense of Tikonov. During that fighting, they faced elements of the Sixth Crucis Lancers.[2] The remnants became later part of the Second Republic Guards.
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.[3]
