The '''Thirteenth Tancredi Loyalists''' originally served in the [[Tancredi Warriors Brigade]] and could trace their roots back to the planetary defense force of [[Tancredi IV]], raised in the late twenty-fourth or early twenty-fifth century. The Thirteenth was one of four Tancredi Warrior Brigade [[regiment]]s to survive the [[Davion Civil War]] of [[2525]] - [[2540]]. The vast majority of the personnel within the Tancredi Warriors Brigade who hailed from [[Tancredi IV]] had declared their support for [[First Prince]] [[Alexander Davion]] when he moved against Prince [[Laura Davion]], one of his two aunts who were attempting to usurp his throne at the time, and the support of those Tancredi loyalists had been a significant factor in the ultimate success of Alexander's campaign.<ref name="FR2765:FSp20">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 20: "Tancredi Loyalists"</ref>

After the Davion Civil War Alexander restructured the military of the Federated Suns completely, disbanding the former [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]] and replacing them with the new [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. In recognition of their loyalty the Thirteenth and her surviving sister regiments, the [[7th Tancredi Loyalists|Seventh]], [[10th Tancredi Loyalists|Tenth]] and [[11th Tancredi Loyalists|Eleventh]] were formed into a new [[brigade]] named the Tancredi Loyalists. The Thirteenth and her sister regiments enjoyed a high status within the [[AFFS]] in recognition of their loyalty and skill, a status they would continue to enjoy throughout the [[Star League]] era even after the capital of the [[Draconis March]] was moved from Tancredi IV to the former capital world of the [[Terran March]], [[Robinson]].<ref name="FR2765:FSp20"/>

During the late Star League era the Thirteenth was notable for rarely having all of the components of the regiment together on any one world. Although the regiment was notionally based on the world of [[Sturgis]], there would often actually be none of the regiment was actually on Sturgis itself; in addition to the sub-units deployed elsewhere, the Thirteenth was also summoned to join the attack whenever the Seventh Tancredi Loyalists identified a pirate base, and the Thirteenth would always dispatch at least half of its forces to assist the Seventh.<ref name="FR2765:FSp20"/>

Notably, the warriors of the Loyalists considered poor morale to be a form of weakness, but the AFFS turned a blind eye to the sometimes extreme measures taken as a part of the regiment's self-policing policy because of the high levels of skill and loyalty demonstrated by the four regiments.<ref name="FR2765:FSp20A">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 20: "Morale"</ref>
