Civil War
At the start of the FedCom Civil War, the homeworld of the 2nd Crucis Lancers was Timbiqui. They moved to Cavanaugh II to deter Free Worlds League adventurism. On their way back to Timbiqui, they attacked Bolan. Expecting to face the 1st Bolan Jaegers, they were shocked when the Dixie CTM ambushed them. Two-thirds of the Lancers' Third 'Mech battalion was destroyed. The Lancers' First Battalion, supported by two conventional regiments, smashed into the CTM and inflicted heavy casualties. The Lancers were only stopped when the Bolan Jaegers reinforced the CTM. Once the Jaegers had engaged the Lancers, the Lancers' Second Battalion hit the Dixie CTM's opposite flank, throwing them into chaos. The Lancers destroyed about half of the CTM's strength. The Second Crucis Lancers took some losses of their own, however, and withdrew to Halfway when they realized they couldn't take Bolan.[2]
On Halfway the Second Crucis Lancers joined Victor Steiner-Davion. He quickly reassigned them to counter the Jade Falcon Incursion as part of Operation Audacity.[3] The two combat commands of the Second Crucis Lancers arrived on Chapultepec. There they sparred with the Jade Falcon's Omega Galaxy before leaving the world.[4] As part of Operation Audacity the Second Lancers hit Beta VII. There they destroyed the Jade Solahma Cluster.[5] The Second Crucis Lancers then relocated to Machida to rest and rebuild before returning to the Federated Suns.[6]
After returning to the Federated Suns, they were stationed on Pitkin.[7]
