−	Originally known as the '''Capellan Cuirassiers''', the regiment was stationed on [[Capricorn III]] in [[2765]]. They were formed at the order of [[Chancellor]] Stephan Liao after he discovered how effective the [[1st St. Ives Lancers]] were. The Cuirassiers were built and trained according to the same techniques as the First St. Ives Lancers, but the soldiers assigned to the regiment were drawn from across the Capellan Confederation. This insured their loyalty to the nation as a whole.<ref name=FR:2765CCp14>''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 14: "St. Ives Armored Cavalry" - Regimental Status</ref>	+	Originally known as the ''Capellan Cuirassiers'', the regiment carried out an invasion of the [[Terran Hegemony]] under orders from [[Chancellor]] [[Barbara Liao]] during the chaotic days of the [[Amaris Coup]], capturing a number of Hegemony worlds.
