History[edit]
Chancellor Liao awarded Pavel Ridzik with command of the Stapleton's Iron Hand in 2991 for assisting him in gaining the Chancellorship.[1] The Colonel relinquished his command of the Prefectorate Guard, and transferred to his new command.
Fourth Succession War[edit]
During the Fourth Succession War the unit took moderate casualties in the failed defense of Tikonov. During that fighting, they faced elements of the 6th Crucis Lancers.[2] The remnants became later part of the 2nd Republican.
During the Fourth Succession War Pavel Ridzik wanted to move Stapleton's Iron Hand up and use it as the core of a counterattack into the Federated Suns. This proved to be impossible.[3]
