The '''Second Canopian Lancers''' were formed a decade later than their sister regiment, the [[First Canopian Lancers]], although using similar principles for their organization and equipped along the same lines. Having formed up, the Second went on to garrison [[Betelgeuse]] in the [[Capellan Confederation]]; given that the nearest neighbor was the [[Duchy of Andurien]], which was on generally friendly terms with both the Confederation and the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] at the time, the Second saw relatively little combat during their time on the world.<ref name="FM:3145p192">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 192, "First Canopian Lancers"</ref>

Following the Capellan invasion of the [[Republic of the Sphere]] the Confederation made a request to the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] to have the Second redeployed to the former Republic world of [[Styk]]. Styk was important strategically and the site of the [[Tao 'Mechworks]] facilities, but was a generally quiet world, and the Second deployed there; the [[Republic Armed Forces]] launched a number of counterattacks to try and recapture [[Styk]], but the equipment losses the Second took defending the world were replaced directly by Tao 'Mechworks, allowing the Second to remain in good shape.<ref name="FM:3145p192"/>

In 3146 the Second joined the Liao Conservatory Cadre as reinforcements for the Nanking Home Guard on [[Styk]]. The hope was that the two units could capture [[Task Force Navarre]]. However, this wasn't possible.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 17</ref> Four years later the Second was joined by the [[1st Liao Guards]], [[4th Liao Guards]], [[5th Sian Dragoons]], and [[Warrior House Dai Da Chi]] in preparation for an assault on the Republic of the Sphere. During the planning stage, each unit suffered from sabotage that required weeks of repairs and replacement parts to fix. This scrapped the initial timeframe.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 79</ref>
