1st St. Ives Lancers
Sarna News
History
The leading unit of the St. Ives Armored Cavalry for almost seven hundred years.
Served the Capellan Confederation for most of that time.
Being stationed on St. Ives during the 4th Succession War it defected to the newly formed St. Ives Compact.
The 1st Lancers was the Compact's first choice for Task Force Serpent, the reborn Star League's assault on the Clan Smoke Jaguar homeworld of Huntress, but it was deemed more important to keep the 1st and its commander Kai Allard-Liao visible in the Inner Sphere.[1]
Fought in Operation Bulldog and the Great Refusal.
At the end of the Capellan-St. Ives War, the unit partially rebuilt by taking in survivors of the destroyed St. Ives Cheveau Legers.
Officers
As of 3063 the Commanding Officer was Sang-shao Tristan Bothel, who took over from Duke Kai Allard-Liao after the conclusion of the Xin Sheng Campaign.
Tactics
Known for being very mobile, despite fielding large numbers of heavy and assault elements.
