The Screaming Eagles and the Highlanders didn't get along, and this lack of coordination led to several instances of preventable collateral damage. After a reprimand from the MAF High Command, the two units worked together, but the Screaming Eagles didn't renew their contract. The Second returned to [[Luxen]] and was officially sworn in as a line regiment shortly after the Screaming Eagles left the Magistracy in [[3059]]. The Screaming Eagles lost a regiment to a misjump, and to honor the lost troops the Second Highlanders changed their insignia to an eagle whose wings guard [[Canopus]].<ref>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 41</ref> In [[3064]] the Second Magistracy Highlanders were split into two battalions and garrisoned [[Luxen]] and [[Dalnmar Majoris]].<ref>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 143</ref> After the formation of the [[Fronc Reaches]] the Second Magistracy Highlanders joined the [[1st Magistracy Highlanders]] on [[Detroit]]. They fended off several pirate raids during this time.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 191</ref><ref name=FMU201/> During the Jihad the Second and First Magistracy Highlanders joined forces to push [[Word of Blake]] troops out of the Magistracy. === The Dark Age === Immediately after the [[Jihad]] ended, the Second was deployed to [[Addasar]].<ref>''Field Report: Periphery'', p. 10</ref> They were then sent to [[Fanardir]] to keep watch over the [[Free Worlds League]] border. The Highlanders dealt with several raids from former League forces, the most notable was a raid by troops based at [[Aspropirgos]]. In that raid the Second's CO, Colonel Dorothy Skaw, was killed. The Second landed on Aspropirgos and destroyed every DropShip and shipyard on the world in retaliation. The Second then returned to Fanardir.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 139</ref> By [[3145]] the Second Magistracy Highlanders were possibly the skilled unit in the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]], a result of the fifteen-year posting to the border between the [[Taurian Concordat]] and the [[Capellan Confederation]] that began in [[3122]]. The Highlanders were deployed across the worlds of [[Brisbane]], [[Bromhead]] and [[Laconis]], all worlds that the Confederation seized from the Concordat during the [[Dark Age]], and as a result the Highlanders had to deal with the [[Taurian Defense Force]] continually raiding the three worlds. It was only with the frequency of the Taurian attacks dropping in [[3137]] and the deployment of [[CCAF]] regiments to garrison the worlds that the Highlanders were rotated back to Magistracy space, with [[Magestrix]] [[Ilsa Centrella]] instructing that the Highlanders be brought home for refitting.<ref name="FM:3145p193">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 193, "Magistracy Highlanders"</ref> ==Officers== From [[3064]] to [[3067]] the commanding officer was [[Colonel]] Dorothy Skaw<ref name=FMP41>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 41, "1st Magistracy Highlanders Unit Profile"</ref>.<ref name=FMU201>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 201, "Magistracy Armed Forces Deployment Table"</ref> As of [[3085]] the commanding officer was Colonel Galdys Brown.<ref name=FM3085p149>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 149, "MAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> In [[3145]] the commanding officer is Colonel Mable Payne.<ref name=FM:3145p201>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 201, "Magistracy Highlanders"</ref> ==Tactics== This command uses hide and seek tactics to destroy the enemy in long run battles.<ref name=FMP41/> ==Composition History== ===3064-3067=== '''Second Magistracy Highlanders''' (1 [[Regiment]]/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FMP41/><ref name=FMU201/> * CO: Colonel Dorothy Skaw :* XO/1st [[Battalion]]: [[Major]] Gladiys Brown * 2nd Battalion: Major R.
