History
Early Succession Wars as Capellan Cuirassiers
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. One of these was Marlette, which was also coveted by the Federated Suns.[1]
The unit is storied for seeing more action than any other Capellan regiment during the Early Succession Wars Era. From 2808 to 2812 the regiment was stationed on Ibstock and defended the world from House Marik forces. A decade later in 2822 the Cuirassiers destroyed a Marik sponsored mercenary unit, Salicia's Defiants on Gomeisa.
During the Third Succession War, the unit captured the Capellan rebel Mercenary "Baron" Jacob Mei in 2887. The unit was successful in defending the Capellan world of Bethel from elements of House Davion's Avalon Hussars in 2940.
In 2987 the unit became the backbone of a relief force that helped break the Davion siege of Tikonov by attacking the Federated Suns world of Aosia and causing the Davion units on Tikonov to pull out.
As the Justinia's Cuirassiers
In 3001, the unit came under command of its Colonel Justinia Gordon, whom became the namesake of the unit's new name. Under the command of Colonel Gordon, she lead the regiment in attacks against both House Davion and Marik held worlds.
The unit has been kept in reserve since 3015 for special missions for Chancellor Maximilian Liao. Where the unit was used to escort the Chancellor in secret talks with FedSun's Duke Michael Hasek-Davion.[2]

In the 4th Succession War the unit surrendered in the failed defense of St. Andre against the Davion Light Guards.
