History

During the Succession wars the unit changed from a medium to a heavy regiment. They acted as a primary raiding force and took heavy losses in this campaign.[citation needed]

First stationed at the Draconis border, they were later relocated to the Capellan march for rest and refit. They fought during the FedCom Civil War for Victor Steiner-Davion and paid for their loyalty in blood.[citation needed]
