Revolt Timeline[edit]

2451 - Due to the disastrous running of the Capellan Confederation by Arden Baxter and Stephen Liao, it appeared the gifted and charismatic General Ral Merik might make a grab for power. To quell this possible urge, Stephen Liao's son, Duncan sought to curb Merik's rapidly-increasing popular influence by cutting his loyal troop strength in half. Ral's unit, the Merik's Grenadiers Regiment, a unit of the Elite Capellan Hussars Regiments, openly revolted, occupying the Chancellor's Palace and taking Chancellor Duncan Liao hostage for seven months.

2452 - The Elite 1st Capellan Hussars, originally formed as the 2nd Hexare Lancers in 2355 in the St. Ives Commonality, were called in to deal with the Grenadiers.

[Feb 2452] Duncan, ashamed for being taken captive, committed suicide. Chancellor Jasmine Liao renamed the 2nd Hexare Lancers to "The Red Lancers" after they destroyed Merik's Grenadiers. The Red Lancers were appointed as the Chancellor's personal bodyguards and have served in the dual capacity as 1st Regiment of the Household Guards and 1st Capellan Hussars ever since. Remnants of the Grenadiers, who were able to escape, were given asylum in the Taurian Concordat in exchange for their experimental Capellan BattleMech designs

2455 - In order to forestall any future coup attempts, Jasmine Liao decreed that no officer in the CCAF can hold rank above Colonel[2]
