History
The First Magistracy Highlanders were originally a mercenary unit that served the Magistracy for centuries. 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.
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.
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.

In 3067 the unit's commanding officer was Colonel Ronald Price.[3]
