History[edit]

The Fourteenth Liao Lancers were raised as part of the Liao Lancers brigade. As was traditional with the Liao Lancers, approximately one third of their force consisted of citizens of their name world, in this case Zurich. There is some evidence that suggests the Fourteenth was formed after the repeal of the Council Edict of 2650, and was created by promoting a Home Guard unit from Zurich to the Lancers brigade.[1]

Unlike many Liao Lancer units, they were not stationed on their namesake world in 2765 but instead were the garrison for Liao.[1]
