Their Succession Wars era equipment would not have been a match for the Blakists, so the MAF assigned them to anti-pirate operations near [[Astrokaszy]]. The Second was then reassigned to the Magistracy's border with the [[Fronc Reaches]]. More pirates and raiders than ever have started to come out of the Reaches area,<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 140</ref> and so the Second split up into battalion sized units to garrison [[Kossandra's Memory]] and [[Novo Tressida]].<ref name=FM3085p150/> − − For most of the early [[thirty-second century]], the Second Cuirassiers were stationed on [[Dunianshire]], [[Luxen]], and [[Dainmar Majoris]].
