History

Formation

The First Canopian Lancers was one of a wave of new regiments created by the Magistracy Armed Forces in 3114 as the Magistracy of Canopus expanded its military. The First was one of the first new regiments to form up, and was modelled on the Tau Ceti Lancers; the First was built around three mixed battalions, each consisting of fast medium and heavy BattleMechs, hovercraft and VTOLs augmented by fast-moving battle armor.[1]

The Dark Age

In the mid-thirty-second century the First Lancers were deployed in support of Capellan Confederation operations against the Republic of the Sphere. 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.[1]

Officers

In 3145 the commanding officer was Colonel Valeria Centrella-Tompkins.[2]
