The '''[[Tamar Cavaliers]]''' were a relatively new unit, constituted in [[3058]]. [[Duke]] [[Robert Kelswa-Steiner]] raised the unit from his own fortune, with the mandate of liberating [[Tamar Pact]] worlds from The [[Clans]]. The Cavaliers use a red and silver paint scheme.<ref name=FMLAp103>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 103: "Tamar Cavaliers Unit Profile"</ref>

The '''[[Tamar Cavaliers]]''' are a recently mustered unit. Duke [[Robert Kelswa-Steiner]] raised the unit from his only fortune, with the mandate of liberating [[Tamar Pact]] worlds from [[The Clans]]. The Cavaliers use a red and silver paint scheme.
They were rebuilt following a disastrous defeat in [[3070]], but were destroyed again in the early [[thirty-second century]]; as of [[3145]] the unit does not exist anymore.

==History==
The Tamar Cavaliers were formed by Duke Kelswa-Steiner as part of his Kelswa House Guard. They became an official unit in 3058, giving direct control over it to the newly formed [[LAAF]] High Command. The unit's loyalties were more to the Duke than to the [[Archon]].

The Tamar Cavaliers were formed by [[Duke]] [[Robert Kelswa-Steiner]] as part of his Kelswa House Guard. It was became offical unit in 3058, giving it direct control to the newly formed [[LAAF]] High Command. The unit loyalities are more to the Duke's than to Archon. During the [[FedCom Civil War]], the unit was intrigated into the [[Skye Rangers]] brigade. This act put the unit more directly in command of [[Skye]]'s authority. However, due to its undying loyality to the former [[Tamar Pact]], the unit can be relied on to remain on the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] border to defend what left of their homeland. To frustration of the unit's commander, it command could not be part of [[Operation Audacity]] in [[3063]].

Thanks to the influence of Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner, the Cavaliers received multiple ''[[Union-X]]'' DropShips from [[Shipil Company]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3067'', p. 176</ref>
 
 
 
As of [[3067]] the unit was based on the Lyran world of [[Tomans]].<ref name=FMUp178>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 178: "LAAF Deployment Table - 3067"</ref>
 
  
During the chaos of the [[Jihad]] the [[Sixth Lyran Guards]] (which had been deprived of their transport) along with the Tamar Cavaliers faced off against [[Clan Wolf]] forces on [[Tomans]] in [[3070]] until they were too heavily damaged. The few survivors surrendered.<ref>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 12</ref>

As of [[3067]] the unit is based on the Lyran world of [[Tomans]].
 
 
The unit was later rebuilt as part of the [[Lyran Reserves]]. All military units built by Lyran nobles after the [[Jihad]] (like the Tamar Cavaliers) report to the LCAF High Command through the Lyran Reserves brigade. The rebuilt Tamar Cavaliers are split nearly evenly between new academy graduates and combat veterans. The Cavaliers run their troops through a two year cadre training course before transferring them to other commands.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 103</ref> In [[3085]] they were the garrison unit for [[Bountiful Harvest]], ready to repel Clan Jade Falcon troops.<ref name=FM3085p109/>
 
 
 
At some point early in the thirty-second century, implicitly prior to [[3133]], the Tamar Cavaliers were reportedly destroyed over the course of several tit-for-tat raids on the Clan border.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 130</ref> The unit does not exist anymore as of [[3145]].
