As part of the Sian Dragoons, the '''Eleventh Sian Dragoons''' were a part of the largest [[BattleMech]] [[brigade]] in the history of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] - both during the [[Age of War]], and then again in the closing decades of the [[Star League era]] as the [[CCAF]] began rapidly expanding and reactivating regiments - and a regiment that could trace its origins back to when the first ''[[WAM-B]]'' BattleMechs were issued to support the tanks of the [[Sian Lancers]].<ref name=FR2765CCAFp13>''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 13</ref>

Though destroyed in the Succession Wars, the Eleventh was recreated as part of [[Chancellor]] [[Daoshen Liao]]'s "Hidden Lion" initiative. The Eleventh participated in [[Operation GREAT FLOOD]], and like other units of the Sian Dragoons it was split up into smaller commands to confuse Republic intelligence assets. They were used frequently to reinforce other [[CCAF]] units, and were praised by those units for their ability to "fill gaps" in a CCAF unit's abilities.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 36</ref> In [[3145]] they were stationed on [[Palladaine]].<ref name=fm3145p45 />
