==History==
The St. Ives Cheveau-Légers were formed shortly after the formation of the [[Capellan Confederation]] as a force that could be deployed outside of the [[St. Ives Commonality]]. By [[2765]], they held the distinction of participating in every conflict fought by the CCAF, and fighting against every state surrounding the Confederation. They were the garrison of [[Hurgh]] in 2765.<ref name=FR:2765CCp14>''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 14: "St. Ives Armored Cavalry" - Regimental Status</ref>

They first saw combat against the [[Free Worlds League]] on [[Lopez]]. They fought the [[Defenders of Andurien]] between [[2366]] and [[2368]]. Though forced off Lopez the Cheveau-Légers raided [[Mansu-ri]] and [[Dalton]] two years later, embarrassing the Marik defenders. They also defended [[Vanra]] against Marik raiders in [[2450]]. The Legers then drove the [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] off [[Ogilvie]] in [[2790]]. Between [[2808]] and [[2816]] they raided the Free Worlds League systems of [[Nova Roma]], [[Holt]], and [[Sorunda]].

The Legers were surprised by a [[Federated Suns]] mercenary unit on [[Indicass]] in [[2905]]. The Cheveau-Légers responded by raiding a Syrtis Fusiliers camp three years later, capturing a ''[[Leopard]]''-class DropShip and several 'Mechs. The Fusiliers responded by trapping the unit on [[Royalston]] in [[2915]]. In the course of a two day engagement, the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] unit inflicted huge casualties on the unit, forcing them to spend the next eighteen years rebuilding.

The Cheveau-Légers were assigned to garrison [[Weekapaug]] and baited the AFFS forces stationed nearby, inviting them to try to take the world away from the CCAF. The Syrtis Fusiliers took the bait in [[2950]], and the two units spent the next three weeks engaged in a brutal slugfest. Between [[2960]] and the Fourth Succession War, the Cheveau-Légers spent most of their time rotating between agricultural planets in the St. Ives Commonality.<ref name=HLp89/>

During [[Operation Bulldog]] the St. Ives Cheveau-Légers joined with the [[Eighth Dieron Regulars]], [[First Canopian Cuirassiers]], and [[Eleventh Alshain Avengers]] to defend [[Meinacos]] from the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar|Smoke Jaguar]]'s [[267th Battle (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|267th Battle Cluster]]. The Eighth Dieron drove into the 267th Cluster's flank, while the Eleventh Alshain distracted them and the Canopian Cuirassiers cut off the Clan unit's retreat.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 41</ref>

After fighting against the Clans, the unit returned just in time for the opening battles of the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]]. After two years of fighting there was not enough left to rebuild the unit, so the survivors were distributed among the St. Ives Armored Cavalry to make up for battle losses elsewhere.<ref>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 103: "Available Forces"</ref>
