The '''[[First Capellan Dragoons]]''' are the traditional guardians of the [[Duke of Kathil]]. Raised from mercenaries and [[Capellan]] defectors, the AFFS has never truly trusted the Dragoons. The Dragoons were sold by the [[House Hasek|Hasek family]] early in the [[thirty-first century]], and have been loaned back to the Duke of Kathil for reasons unknown. The regiment was effectively destroyed during the [[FedCom Civil War]].

==History==
===Formation===
The '''First Capellan Dragoons''' originated from the guards of the Duke of Kathil during the Second Succession War ([[2830]]–[[2864]]).<ref name=FMFS47>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 47: "1st Capellan Dragoons Unit Profile"</ref> 

In [[3009]] the regiment was sold to the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] under the condition that the respective Duke of Kathil could buy it back anytime.<ref name=FMFS47/>

===Civil War===
In [[3061]] political turmoil was happening on [[Kathil]], as the official military chain of command collided with orders issued directly by [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]. The [[Eighth FedCom RCT]] stayed on Kathil with the excuse, that the other defenders were too inexperienced. So, Duke [[Petyr VanLee]] called the First Capella Dragoons to counter that argument. The Eighth FedCom RCT didn't dare to disobey direct orders and some of its career-hungry officers opened direct war with the [[Kathil CMM]]. Under heavy losses, the Kathil CMM managed to secure a safe landing for the First Capella Dragoons,<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 24</ref> which wiped out the Eighth FedCom in revenge.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 95</ref>

The ''First'' was assimilated into the [[Fifth Davion Guards]] in May [[3064]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 124</ref>
