History
Notable Brigade Events
In 2832 the newly reconstituted Chesterton Reserves engaged House Davion as they attacked Tikonov. The brigade faced up against the 2nd Ceti Hussars using Vindicators and rebuilt Davion Marauders and barely blunted FedSun attacks on this world.[1]
In 2987 House Davion sporadically attacked Tikonov over the course of several months and the reserves battled in vain to keep the aggressors from taking the planet. Only when Chancellor Tormax Liao sent the last of the Capellan Armed Forces’ intact reserve forces were they able to hold the Davion world of Lee and gain relief from the pressure of constant attack.
Fourth Succession War
Most of the units were based out of both Tikonov & Chesterton districts prior to the Fourth Succession War and suffered almost complete devastation by war’s end. Only the Kingston’s Legionnaires & Sung's Cuirassiers managed to survive as fighting units.[2] The last of the of Chesterton Reserves were assigned to the newly formed Victoria Commonality Rangers Brigade when Victoria Commonality was formed.[3]
