==History==
The '''Magistracy Royal Guards''' has a long history of loyal service to its nation. After becoming independent again in 2786 the units were rebuilt. During the Succession Wars the regiment have little to do. Sometimes the soldiers fight against Marik raiders or show strength  to the Taurians.<ref>''The Periphery (sourcebook)'', p. 97 </ref>

===Star League===

==Officers==
During the Star League era, the First and Second Canopian Cuirassiers were the only units of the brigade. They were the highest regarded units in Canopian service.<ref>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 13</ref>
+
The brigade commander in 3025 was Colonel Holly Van Dame
  
===The Jihad===
+
==Composition 3067==
The unit took significant losses during the [[Jihad]]; when the [[Word of Blake]] firebombed the city of Crimson on [[Canopus IV]], [[Raventhir's Iron Hand]] died trying to protect [[Magestrix]] [[Emma Centrella]].<ref name="FR:Pp10">''Field Report: Periphery'', p. 10, "Magistracy of Canopus"</ref> The [[1st Canopian Cuirassiers]] managed to avoid being destroyed during the bombing, although they took significant losses; with Senior General [[Hadji Doru]] leading the First, they formed a large part of the resistance on Canopus, constantly raiding and harassing the occupying Blakists and preventing them from consolidating their control of the planet. The only unit from the brigade to survive the Jihad comparatively intact was the [[2nd Canopian Cuirassiers]], who were on garrison duty on [[Buenos Aires]] when the Blakists attacked the Magistracy. The Second chafed to return to the Magistracy, and once Magestrix [[Naomi Centrella]] prevailed upon [[Chancellor]] [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] to allow the Second to return to Canopian space the Second returned swiftly, providing an immediate message to any potential raiders or opportunists.<ref name="FM:3085p138+">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 138-139, Magistracy Royal Guards Brigade"</ref>

===Post-Jihad===

Image:Mag_royal_Guard_-_1s_canopian_cuirassiers.jpg|[[1st Canopian Cuirassiers]]
The Magestrix began rebuilding the Magistracy Royal Guards swiftly after the end of the Jihad; [[Major]] [[Jeremy Raventhir]] was moved out of the [[1st Raventhir Cuirassiers]] to become the commanding officer of the reconstituted Raventhir's Iron Hand, with elite personnel from across the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] joining the top-ranking cadets from the [[Emma Centrella Martial Academy]] to form the new Iron Hand. For his actions during the Jihad [[Colonel]] [[Lane Meisel]] of the 1st Canopian Cuirassiers was awarded the ruby [[Canopus Cluster]] (without having to pay the customary "donation"), the [[Fist of Raventhir]] and, somewhat controversially, the [[Ribbon of the Magestrix]]. Colonel Meisel was then promoted to [[General]] Meisel and appointed commanding officer of the Magistracy Royal Guards Brigade. Colonel Goss of the 2nd Canopian Cuirassiers was appointed executive officer to General Meisel, with command of the 2nd passing to Colonel [[Joseph Wulf]].<ref name="FM:3085p138+"/>

The Guards have not been idle as the rebuilding continued; the bulk of the Iron Hand and the 1st were guarding Canopus in [[3085]], although a company from the Iron Hand routed a pirate attack on [[Bass]] in July; the 2nd had taken up position on [[Detroit]], guarding the valuable facilities there.<ref name="FM:3085p138+"/>
 
  
In the [[Dark Age]] the Magistracy Royal Guards were used to protect vital systems in allied territory, critical resources in the Magistracy, and worlds that were returned to the Magistracy after the dissolution of the [[Free Worlds League]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 191</ref>
