The origins of Cavanaugh's Cavalry are unknown. On 3058 they were under Illyrian Palatinate contract, defending Illyria itself.[1]
And then Caesar Julius O'Reilly started the conquest of the Illyrian Palatinate by. The invading forces consisted of the better part of three full Legions, but nevertheless, Caesar O'Reilly gave the Illyrian mercenaries the opportunity to recant their contracts and enter his service as a part of his Legions. Feeling that they had little choice, Cavanaugh's Cavalry agreed to switch allegiance to the Marian Hegemony Armed Forces, thought they did not "notify" the Illyrian Palatinate of their alliance shift.
Having turned traitor, the Cavalry remained largely on the sidelines until the final three days of the campaign on Illyria itself. As the Arms of Thor launched attacks in an attempt to break through the Marian lines and destroy the Caesar's headquarters, the Cavalry decided that the Arms of Thor were clearly doomed, and chose to act. Entering the Illyrian capital in the guise of being friendly forces, the Cavalry promptly captured the city in the name of Caesar. The Arms of Thor launched one final attack in an attempt to reach Caesar O'Reilly but failed, and two hours after the capture of their capital city, the Illyrians surrendered. Cavanaugh's Cavalry then accompanied a triumphant Caesar back to Alphard, where Julius commissioned the former mercenaries as VI Legio, thus ending the unit existence as mercenary.[2]
