The [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] had expanded rapidly, as did the militaries of the other [[Great House]]s, and the Capellan Reserve Cavalry was the last of the [[CCAF]] [[brigade]]s to form (or re-form) prior to the Coup. Between 2572 and [[2765]] the Reserve Cavalry mustered seven new regiments, with the intention that the Reserve Cavalry would act as rapid reinforcements to other units and as a source of replacement personnel for frontline commands. Like the other regiments within the Reserve Cavalry, the Second was an odd combination of volunteer corps, training cadre and militia, with standing orders for the junior Colonel in charge of the Second to subordinate his command to place it at the full disposal of any frontline command it served alongside. This allowed the Second to act as a synergistic part of the superior formation, free of internal power struggles or conflicts.<ref name="FR2765:CCAFp16">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 16: "Confederation Reserve Cavalry"</ref> − − === Third Succession War === − In [[3025]] the Second was stationed in defense of the planet [[Palos]].<ref name=HLp105>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 105: "Regiment Deployment Table - 3025"</ref> It was one of the two Reserve Cavalry regiments to survive the [[Fourth Succession War]].<ref name=citation69>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 69: "Second Confederation Reserve Cavalry Unit Profile"</ref> − − It can be assumed that the unit spent most of the war in defensive rotation among several worlds as did their sister units.<ref name=citation69/> − − They did fight in defense of [[Palos]] in the [[Fourth Succession War# Wave 6|Sixth Wave]]<ref name=citation53>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 53: Palos</ref> and then saw action during the [[Capellan-St. Ives War|''Xin Sheng'' Campaign]] and the [[Jihad]]. − ===Fourth Succession War=== ===Fourth Succession War=== − In the Sixth Wave of the Fourth Succession War the Gamma and Delta [[Regiment]]s of the [[Twelfth Vegan Rangers]] made a difficult landing on Palos and were ambushed at the approaches of the capital Xer by the Second.<ref name=citation53/> The next day the Rangers advanced on the city and met a combined force of infantry, tanks, and [['Mech]]s at battalion strength from the Second Reserve. The defenders overextended themselves and, when they refused to surrender, after a publicly recorded refusal on the part of [[Major]] [[Aaron Derfick]], were destroyed. This defeat forced the rest of the Second Reserve from the planet.<ref name=citation53/> + In the [[Fourth Succession War]] one battalion was destroyed in the failed defense of [[Palos]], the other two survived the war and spent the next twenty years on the [[Capellan Confederation|Confederation]]-[[St. Ives Compact|Compact]] border, launching the occasionally raid. − The other two battalions survived the war and spent the next twenty years on the [[Capellan Confederation|Confederation]]-[[St. Ives Compact|Compact]] border launching occasional raids.<ref name=citation70>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 70: Second Confederation Reserve Cavalry: Second Site</ref> + Rotated to [[Purvo]] and than after to their homeworld [[Necromo]].The 2nd prepared for an assault, alerted by troop movements in Commonwealth space, but it was a false alarm.
