History

Foundation of Warrior House Lu Sann

With the success of the Warrior House Orders concept, Major Troi Lu Sann was granted permission to found a fourth Warrior House Order. Warrior House Lu Sann was ready for deployment in 2928.

• The homeworld of House Lu Sann was Grand Base.
• Took part in the defense of Spica against a Davion offensive in 2910.
• Contained and later drove off superior forces of the Seventh Crucis Lancers together with House Imarra in the defense of Lincoln in 3001.
• Relieved St. Ives from the Davion mercenary units Kingston's Commandos and Tristram's Terrorists in 3019 together with House Kamata, utterly destroying the attackers.
• Performed unspecified "special maneuvers" on Liao around 3025

Fourth Succession War

• In the Fourth Succession War, the unit's First Battalion was destroyed in the failed defense of Liao and the Second Battalion was later destroyed on Nopah where they took part in Operation RIPOSTE.
• House Lu Sann drifted in their philosophical outlook during their rebuilding after the Fourth Succession War, prompting the Strategios to downgrade their loyalty, although this was generally kept a secret.

Operation GUERRERO

• Grand Master Ion Rush sent House Lu Sann into the Chaos March to serve as a crucible, which helped to refocus the House and restore their loyalty rating, while costing them greatly in personnel.

Xin Sheng Campaign

• House Lu Sann became a warm reception by the Taurian Concordat, much as CCAF from the Magistracy of Canopus. After a year of setbacks and misfortune, the Warrior House returned to the Confederation for rest and refit. Any thoughts of revenge, however, were put off when a battalion Taurian rebels chasing the struggling Warrior House Lu Sann and attacked their Grand Base stronghold in May.

Jihad

During Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE, Warrior House Lu Sann landed on Homestead to reinforce the Third Confederation Reserve Cavalry and helped them drive elements of the Illician Lancers off the world.

Warrior House Lu Sann was ambushed and destroyed by Word of Blake forces on Herotitus on 15 February 3074.

Post-Jihad

Due to the philosophical and spiritual demands of induction and training into a Warrior House, the various Houses were slow to rebuild after the Jihad. Warrior House Lu Sann was one of three to be effectively destroyed in the Jihad, along with Warrior House Fujita and Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai. Despite the loss of combat personnel from the House, Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao chose to keep the monasteries of each order open afterwards, even though each was little more than a home for elderly veterans, new acolytes and washouts from other training programs. In doing so, the Chancellor allowed the possibility of raising fresh battalions from Warrior House Lu Sann in the future to be kept open.

Republic Era

After the Victoria War's end, Daoshen Liao fully resurrected Warrior House Lu Sann to act as his personal bodyguards. Their first action since their restoration was during the Capellan Crusades, where Daoshen assigned them to protect his retreat from Sarna in the face of a counterinvasion by the Republic of the Sphere. However, Lu Sann was unable to hold against the combined might of Stone's Lament and Stone's Liberators, and Daoshen was only saved from capture by the timely arrival of Warrior House Imarra. As punishment for Lu Sann's failure, Daoshen ordered them permanently stricken from the CCAF's roster.
