Originally known as Long's Light Lancers regiment of the [[Canopian Highlanders]], the First Magistracy Highlanders regiment was created to reward the mercenary unit for its long and successful service, particularly their behavior in the [[Pirate's War]].<ref name=FMP40>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 40, "1st Magistracy Highlanders Unit Profile"</ref> − − Between [[3057]] and [[3058]] pirate activity was at an all-time high, and in 3058 the planetary governors of [[Gambilon]], [[Palladix]], and [[Marantha]] were killed while the Lancers were en route to the system. The citizens of Gambilon were rioting in the streets, motivated by fear over the ability of the pirates to kill highly guarded government officials. The Lancers commander, Colonel Daniel Hale, declared martial law over the world, enforced a curfew, and appeared twice a day on all broadcast media. His calm demeanor helped restore order and allowed the defenders of Gambilon to repulse pirate raids shortly thereafter.<ref name=FMP40/> − − In [[3062]] the Lancers had officially been named the First Magistracy Highlanders, and struck into the [[Marian Hegemony]] with [[Lockhardt's Ironsides]]. These punitive strikes were the Magistracy's way of notifying the Hegemony that their support of pirate activities against the Magistracy wouldn't pass without challenge.<ref name=FMP40/> − ===Fronc Reaches Deployment=== ===Fronc Reaches Deployment=== − The 1st Magistracy and its [[2nd Magistracy Highlanders|sister unit]] have been stationed on [[Detroit]] since [[3063]]. While defending the [[Detroit Consolidated MechWorks]], the unit has fought off numerous pirate raids. The First's presence on the planet has made it a ''de facto'' member of the Magistracy of Canopus.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 191, "Magistracy Highlanders parent formation profile".</ref> + The 1st Magistracy and its [[2nd Magistracy Highlanders|sister unit]] have been stationed on [[Detroit]] since [[3063]]. While defending the [[Detroit Consolidated MechWorks]], the unit has fought numerous pirate raids against. The 1st presence on the planet, has made the planet defacto member of the Magistracy of Canopus.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 191 - "Magistracy Highlanders parent formation profile".</ref> − − The First Magistracy Highlanders saw limited action during the [[Jihad]]. By [[3079]] they had been reduced to 70% of their pre-Jihad strength. At this time they were also split into two battalion sized units and based on [[Fanardir]] and [[Early Dawn]].<ref>''Field Report: Periphery'', p. 10</ref> After repelling a [[Word of Blake]] attack during the Jihad, the First spent most of its time defending against pirates, rogue mercenaries, and renegade Blakists. Acting in a supporting role, the First supported the Canopian-Capellan task force that liberated the Magistracy.<ref name=fm85p139>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 139</ref> − − === The Dark Age === − After the Jihad ended, the First Magistracy Highlanders moved to the Magistracy/Free Worlds League border. There they repelled several attacks by former Free Worlds planets. In [[3083]] the Highlanders executed a raid on [[Eleusis]], and the defending militia units almost destroyed a ''[[Union]]''-class DropShip. Fortunately this didn't happen. The First Highlanders returned to [[Bethonolog]].<ref name=fm85p139/> − − In [[3101]] the Highlanders absorbed the few survivors of the Canopian Highlanders; the former mercenary unit had joined the Magistracy Highlanders brigade around the end of the Jihad, but in 3101 were effectively destroyed as a unit by a pirate band that raided Cate's Hold, hitting the Canopian Highlanders with a nuclear weapon in the process.<ref name="FM:3145p193">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 193, "Magistracy Highlanders"</ref> In [[3108]] the First Highlanders engaged a bandit force on Bethonolog. They destroyed one 'Mech, crippled a second, and the remaining two surrendered.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 36</ref> − − By the mid-thirty-second century the First Magistracy Highlanders were stationed on the worlds of [[Gambilon]] and [[Palladix]], defending the worlds from raids and attacks launched by the [[Marian Hegemony]] and various factions from the former [[Free Worlds League]]. After a raid in [[3144]] by the Hegemony captured more than a thousand civilians from the world of [[Ballad II]] the Highlanders were ordered to raid into the Hegemony in retaliation; the Highlanders spent almost a year operating independently, culminating in the unit destroying the slaver operation on [[Baccalieu]] responsible for the raid and freeing the captured Magistracy citizens.<ref name="FM:3145p193"/> − − In April [[3150]] the Highlanders were garrisoning [[Gambilon]] when [[VI Legio]] of the Marian Hegemony Armed Forces arrived. After fighting for two weeks, the Highlanders had to retreat. After rebuilding, they joined with the [[1st Canopian Brigade]] and [[3rd Canopian Fusiliers]] to [[Battle of Marantha (3150)|drive]] the Hegemony forces off of Gambilon and Marantha. After securing those worlds for the Magistracy, the Highlanders and [[Markson's Marauders]] then attacked [[Islington]], a Hegemony world.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 88</ref> ==Officers== ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable"+ In [[3064]] the commanding officer is [[Colonel]] Daniel Hale<ref name=FMP40>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 40, "1st Magistracy Highlanders Unit Profile"</ref>.<br> − |- + In 3067 the unit commanding officer was Colonel Ronald Price.<ref name=FMU201>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 201, "Magistracy Armed Forces Deployment Table"</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 Magistracy Highlanders''' − |- − | [[Colonel]]||[[Daniel Hale]]||[[3064]]<ref name=FMP40/> − |- − | Colonel||[[Ronald Price]]||[[3067]]<ref name=FMU201>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 201, "MAF Deployment Table - 3067"</ref> − |- − | Colonel||[[Masami Hayashi]]||[[3085]]<ref name=FM3085p149>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 149, "MAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> − |- − | Colonel||[[Jacob Kennedy]]||[[3145]]<ref name=FM:3145p201>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 201, "Magistracy Highlanders"</ref> − |- − |} ==Tactics== ==Tactics== − These unit specializes in pirate hunting, striking swiftly and leaving no time for their enemies to react.<ref name=FMP40/> + These unit is specialiced to hunt pirates and let their enemies no time to react. ==Composition History== ==Composition History== ===3064=== ===3064=== − '''First Magistracy Highlanders''' (1 [[Regiment]]/Veteran/Fanatical)<ref name=FMP40/> + '''1st Magistracy Highlanders''' (1 [[Regiment]]/Veteran/Fanatical)<ref name=FMP40/> * CO: Colonel Daniel Hale * CO: Colonel Daniel Hale − :* XO/1st [[Battalion]]: [[Major]] Ronald Price+ ** XO/1st [[Battalion]]: [[Major]] Ronald Price * 2nd Battalion: Major Daniel Mitic * 2nd Battalion: Major Daniel Mitic * 3rd Battalion: Major Arthur Lynn * 3rd Battalion: Major Arthur Lynn Line 66:
