The warriors who landed were shocked to discover that the enclave wasn't in fact being protected by Snow Raven warriors, but rather a large Society force.<ref name="WORp95">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 95-96, "Sandbagging the Breach"</ref> The Society force demanded a proper ''batchall'', but their demands were ignored by [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Lincoln Dinour]] and the resulting intense firefight spilled over into a nearby large terraforming research zone. During the battle several of the sealed tanks within the terraforming research area were pierced by stray shots, resulting in a devastating explosion that wiped out half the defending Society forces and the majority of the Goliath Scorpion forces on the ground, including the Seventeenth Cuirassiers.<ref name="WORp95"/> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 17th Scorpion Cuirassiers''' |- | [[Galaxy Commander]]||[[Lincoln Dinour]]||[[3061]] - [[3067]]<ref name=FM:WCp114>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 114, "17th Scorpion Cuirassiers Profile"</ref><ref name=FM:Up78/> |- |} ==Tactics== The unit used ''Blitzkrieg'' tactics.<ref name=FM:WCp114/> ==Composition History== ===3061=== '''17th Scorpion Cuirassiers''' (5 [[Trinary|Trinaries]]/Veteran/Fanatical)<ref name=FM:WCp114/> :* CO: Galaxy Commander Lincoln Dinour<ref name=FM:WCp114/> :Note: At this time the unit was stationed on [[Dagda (Clan System)|Dagda]].<ref name=FMWC164>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 164</ref> ===3067=== '''17th Scorpion Cuirassiers''' (Veteran/Fanatical)<ref name=FM:Up78/> * CO: Galaxy Commander Lincoln Dinour <div class="gamerules"> ==Game Rules== The Seventeenth Scorpion Cuirassiers can use [[Overrun Combat]] and also reduce the targeting modifier for secondary targets by 1 point.
