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> 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. One of these was [[Marlette]], which was also coveted by the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=HLp89>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 89: "Justinia's Cuirassiers Unit Profile"</ref> The unit is storied for seeing more action than any other Capellan regiment during the [[Succession Wars era|Early Succession Wars Era]].
