History
The Tamar Cavaliers were formed by Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner as part of his Kelswa House Guard. It became an official 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 the Archon. During the FedCom Civil War, the unit was integrated into the Skye Rangers brigade. This act put the unit more directly in command of Skye's authority. However, due to its undying loyalty to the former Tamar Pact, the unit can be relied on to remain on the Clan Jade Falcon border to defend what is left of their homeland. To frustration of the unit's commander, the command could not be part of Operation Audacity in 3063.[1][2]
Thanks to the influence of Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner, the Cavaliers received multiple Union-X DropShips from Shipil Company.[3]
As of 3067 the unit was based on the Lyran world of Tomans.[4]
In 3070 the Tamar Cavaliers fought the 4th Wolf Guards alongside the 6th Lyran Guards. The Tamar Cavaliers were completely wiped out by the Clan forces.[5]
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.[6] In 3085 they were the garrison unit for Bountiful Harvest, ready to repel Clan Jade Falcon troops.[7]
Officers
As of 3062 to 3067, the commanding officer was Colonel Garrick Liddle.[1][4]
As of 3085 the commanding officer was Colonel Lenna Kelswa.[7]
