The First was one of the first new regiments to form up, and was modeled on the [[Tau Ceti Lancers]]; the First was built around three mixed battalions, each consisting of fast medium and heavy [[BattleMech]]s, [[hovercraft]] and [[VTOL]]s augmented by fast-moving [[battle armor]].<ref name="FM:3145p192">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 192, "First Canopian Lancers"</ref> The Lancers trained alongside the Tau Ceti Lancers for nearly five years after forming, and the tradition of exchanging officers between the two commands lasted until at least the mid-[[Thirty-second century]].<ref name="ER:3145p45">''Era Report: 3145'', p. 45, "Tau Ceti Lancers"</ref> − − === The Dark Age === − After training with the Tau Ceti Lancers the Canopian Lancers were deployed to the world of [[Kossandra's Memory]], in response to a series of pirate raids against the planet by bandits believed to be operating from somewhere within the [[Marian Hegemony]]. After one of the pirates was captured and interrogated by the Ebon Magistrates the location of the pirate base was identified, and the Canopian Lancers swept quickly through the pirate ranks, clearing the base. An investigation was conducted, looking into allegations of Marian government support for the raiders, but nothing was found.<ref name="ER:3145p77">''Era Report: 3145'', p. 77, "First Canopian Lancers"</ref> − − In the mid-thirty-second century the First Lancers were deployed in support of [[Capellan Confederation]] operations against the [[Republic of the Sphere]].<ref name="FM:3145p192"/><ref name="ER:3145p45">''Era Report: 3145'', p. 45, "Tau Ceti Lancers"</ref> The Lancers fought alongside the Tau Ceti Lancers on various worlds within Prefecture VI of the Republic.<ref name="ER:3145p76">''Era Report: 3145'', p. 76, "Periphery States"</ref> During the invasion the Lancers fought on various words including [[Pleione]], [[Second Try]] and [[Yunnah]]. When the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] launched [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]] the Lancers deployed again, but as garrison forces within the remains of Prefecture V, freeing up [[CCAF]] units for active combat.<ref name="ER:3145p77"/> − − In [[3145]] the First were deployed on the former Republic world of [[Acamar]] and were responsible for protecting the large-scale mining operations extracting metals such as gold, platinum and titanium vital to defense manufacturers in the Magistracy and Confederation.<ref name="FM:3145p192"/> The Lancers' Commanding Officer, Colonel Centrella-Tompkins, was a distant cousin of both the [[Magestrix]] and [[Chancellor]] [[Daoshen Liao]]. Having lost eight family members in the [[3036]] Andurien War, Tompkins-Liao was a vocally outspoken opponent of the marriage between [[Ilsa Liao]] and [[Duke]] [[Ari Humphreys]] of the [[Duchy of Andurien]].<ref name="ER:3145p77"/> − − While on Acamar in 3146 they were attacked by the [[Dawn Guards]] to distract the CCAF from [[Julian Davion]]'s movement to the [[Federated Suns]]. The First tried to drive off the Republic troops, but were unable to do so. Their commander reported that the First was being attacked by Republic forces.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 22</ref> − − Four years later they joined the [[Fourth McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] in an assault on [[Northwind]]'s capital city, Tara. They engaged the [[XII Hastati Sentinels]], and by 26 November the CCAF had nearly seized the entire planet. Republic reinforcements arrived in the form of four 'Mech battalions. The Lancers were engaged by a battalion of the [[6th Fides Defenders]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', pp. 94-95</ref> − == Officers == + ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable"+ In [[3145]] the commanding officer was [[Colonel]] [[Valeria Centrella-Tompkins]].<ref name=FM:3145p200>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 200, "Canopian Lancers"</ref> − |- − ! 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 1st Canopian Lancers''' − |- − | [[Colonel]]||[[Valeria Centrella-Tompkins]]||[[3145]]<ref name=FM:3145p200>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 200, "Canopian Lancers"</ref><ref name="ER:3145p77"/> − |- − |} ==Tactics== ==Tactics== − Unknown.+ {{sectionstub}} − == Composition History == + ==Composition History== − === 3145 === + ===3145=== '''First Canopian Lancers''' (Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FM:3145p200/> '''First Canopian Lancers''' (Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FM:3145p200/> * CO: Colonel Valeria Centrella-Tompkins * CO: Colonel Valeria Centrella-Tompkins − - At this point in time the First were operating at five percent below full strength. − − − − <div class="gamerules"> − − == Game Rules == − === 3145 === − * The First Canopian Lancers have the Overrun Combat special ability.<ref name="FM:3145p210">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 210, "Magistracy of Canopus"</ref><ref name="ER:3145p166">''Era Report: 3145'', p. 166, "First Canopian Lancers (Magistracy of Canopus)"</ref> − * The First Canopian Lancers have the Off-Map Movement special ability.<ref name="FM:3145p210"/><ref name="ER:3145p166"/> − * The First Canopian Lancers are a highly-mobile unit favoring lighter units; when randomly determining the composition of a First Lancers force a -2 modifier is applied when generating units.<ref name="FM:3145p210"/><ref name="ER:3145p166"/> − === Shattered Fortress/Northwind=== + ==Notes== − When fighting in the Northwind Touchpoint the First: − * is a C rated unit on the Magistracy of Canopus Random Assignment Table − * is a Veteran rated unit − * has a preference for lighter units, so the controlling player applies a -2 modifier to their roll for determining lance and company weight − * can use the Overrun Combat and Off-Map Movement special abilities<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 118</ref> − </div> − == References == + ==References== <references /> <references /> + ==Bibliography== + *''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' − == Bibliography == − * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' − * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' − * ''[[Shattered Fortress]]'' − [[Category: Magistracy of Canopus Commands|Canopian Lancers, 1st]] + [[Category:Magistracy of Canopus Commands|Canopian Lancers, 1st]]
