The brigade has existed since the founding of the Canopian nation as the basis of its official army. The army was later expanded with other formations to form what is today known as the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]]. From the former four regiments only two survived until 3025. The commands fought many battles against Marik raiders or the Star League. One entire regiment sacrificed themselves to secure an important production complex for the state.<ref name=TPp98>''The Periphery (sourcebook)'', p. 98 </ref>

===Reunification War===
The '''Chasseurs á Cheval''' were formed as the '''Canopian Light Horse''' regiments. They formed the core of the Magistracy's military from the time of the nations creation to the modern day. During the [[Reunification War]] the Light Horse's hit and run tactics were used by the entire MAF to oppose the [[SLDF]].<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 98-99</ref> This was effective for several months, but three regiments of the Chasseurs were forced into a twenty-three week stand-up fight with SLDF forces on [[Eleusis]]. Though forced to withdraw, the SLDF's planned two week campaign instead took nearly six months.<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 100-101</ref>

The SLDF eventually ran down all the Chasseurs, destroying the Third Light Horse on [[Tetski]] in [[2582]].<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 150</ref> The First and Fourth Light Horse were both destroyed on [[Palladix]] in [[2586]], while the Second Light Horse was destroyed on [[Kossandra's Memory]] in [[2588]].<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 151</ref> After the Reunification War, the Light Horse regiments would be reconstituted.

In 2765 the Chasseurs were known as the brigade where the truly skilled graduates of the Magistracy military academy would serve. At this time each regiment was also assigned a ''[[Pinto (WarShip class)|Pinto]]''-class [[WarShip]] as part of its escort in addition to their normal complement of [[JumpShip]]s.<ref>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 14</ref>

The name would be written Chasseurs '''à''' Cheval in twenty-first century French. ''The Periphery'' (first edition) and ''Historical: Reunification War'' both use the grave accent.
