History
The homeworld of the 6th Crucis Lancers is Langhorne. In the Fourth Succession War the 6th Crucis Lancers attacked Tikonov with the other Crucis Lancer RCTs. After that attack, they moved on to take Jonathan and Foot Fall.[1] The fifth wave of AFFS invasion into the Capellan Confederation saw the 6th Crucis Lancers attacking Mandate[2], and in the sixth wave of attacks they secured the Heligoland system for the Federated Suns.[3] After the Fourth Succession War, the 6th was attacked several times by Capellan terrorists.
In early 3057, the unit was stationed on Valexa in the Capellan March. There they were attacked by bandits masquerading as the Knights of the Inner Sphere. They took significant losses during the raid. [4]
At the start of the FedCom Civil War they joined up with Victor Steiner-Davion. They assaulted Tikonov and were almost trapped there. Fortunately they were successful and went to New Avalon with Victor. The fighting on New Avalon was considerably more difficult, and the Sixth was reduced to about half their pre-Civil War strength. Exacerbating their problems rebuilding was the resignation of most of their officers after the fighting ended.[5]
Jihad
- April 20th, 3069 - The Lancer's Aerospace brigade is wiped out by Word of Blake forces in Galax orbit.[6] The Blakists secretly deliver bio-agent that destroys all life on the planet.[7][8] The Sixth were forced to quarantine the dying world, preventing anyone from leaving. This duty, which stretched on for five years, took its toll on the soldiers of the Sixth. Approximately half the troops who survived the Civil War and the bio-weapon committed suicide. In late 3075 the remaining soldiers were reassigned to the 7th Crucis Lancers and the 6th Lancers were deactivated.[9]
