While the primary world in the Tancredi system is Tancredi IV, the planet '''Tancredi II''' is mentioned as well in a canonical source for a battle fought there: According to ''[[The Fox's Teeth: Exploits of McKinnon's Raiders]]'', pp. 8–9, [[McKinnon's Raiders]] fought on Tancredi II "more than a year ago," suffering significant damage to at least two of their [[BattleMech]]s and the death of [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] Alex Forster. No detailed information on Tancredi II is provided, nor any details about the battle or against whom it was fought. The date of the battle is also unspecified, but the scenario pack's setting suggests it must have taken place "more than a year ago" from either [[3025]] (the usual time setting for BattleTech products in that era) or from May [[3029]] (the latest date given for any scenario in the book, and since confirmed as false), or at any time in between.

Laura's defeat had been hastened by the defection of a significant portion of the Tancredi Warriors Brigade to Prince Alexander's banner. A large part of the Tancredi-born personnel within the Brigade had declared their support for Alexander when he began his push into the Draconis March, support Alexander sorely needed, and after the war Alexander recognized the loyalty of the surviving regiments by reorganizing them into a new brigade, the [[Tancredi Loyalists]]. The new brigade's name was a direct reflection of the loyalty shown by its personnel during the war, and the brigade would continue to enjoy a high status within the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] for at least two centuries afterwards.<ref name="FR2765:FSp20"/>

In the early 2500s, the [[Tancredi War College]] was founded on Tancredi IV; the college favored local candidates from the outset, with only fifty percent of the intake each year being open to off-worlders. Over the next two and a half centuries the reputation of the Tancredi War College grew, and it would be regarded as a near-equal to the [[Albion Military Academy]] and the [[New Avalon Military Academy]], specializing in training infantry soldiers and artillery crews but also actively training both MechWarriors and aerospace pilots. The greater part of the personnel recruited to serve in the Tancredi Loyalists would be either natives of Tancredi IV or graduates from the Tancredi War College.<ref name="FR2765:FSp5">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 5: "Academies and Command Centers"</ref>

During the [[Second Succession War]] Tancredi was a number of worlds assaulted by the Draconis Combine, with the battle for control of the world heating up in July [[2840]] as part of a Combine plan to freeze AFFS forces in a contested area of the border between the two realms. In addition to contesting Tancredi, battles heated up on the worlds of [[Anguilla]] and [[Sturgis]] at the same time and the Combine launched a significant raid on [[Robinson]], the Draconis March capital.<ref name="HD(TFS)p71">''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 71: "Paul's Last Years"</ref><ref name="HKp66">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 66: "Planet-Hopping and Sunstroke"</ref>

By [[3079]] the Federated Suns government had ordered Precision Weaponry to close the production lines producing these primitive 'Mechs, but Precision were continuing to produce primitive versions of the ''[[BattleAxe]]'', ''[[Rifleman]]'', and ''[[Rook (BattleMech)|Rook]]'' from their underground facility.<ref name=OBFSp24/>
