==History==
 
==History==
The '''First Royal Cavaliers RCT''' were born during the [[FedCom Civil War]] as a merger of [[Bremond Draconis March Militia]], the [[Milligan Draconis March Militia]] and a free mixed brigade.  A Loyalist unit, it was nevertheless cleared of all charges of war crimes and officially commissioned into the AFFS by late [[3067]]. <ref name=FMUp125>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 125</ref>
+
During the [[Jihad]] the '''First Royal Cavaliers''' were assigned to the Outback. There they faced off against several pirate bands and drove them out of the [[Federated Suns]]. In [[3079]] the Cavaliers were based on [[Crofton]].<ref name=fraffs8>''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 8</ref>

After rebuilding on Crofton, the First Royal Cavaliers returned to the Outback, this time forming part of the defenses of the [[Periphery March (Federated Suns)|Periphery March]]. There they split into three separate commands and garrisoned Crofton, [[Rentz]], and [[Delos IV]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 56</ref>

The First Royal Cavaliers were on [[Palmyra]] in [[3143]]. The gathering of [[AFFS]] forces was intended to start a counterattack into the [[Draconis Combine]]. Instead the Cavaliers, escorting [[First Prince]] [[Caleb Davion]], were destroyed by elements of the [[5th Sword of Light]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 34</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', p. 44</ref>

Following the [[Palmyra Disaster]] survivors from the Cavaliers joined with other AFFS remnants to wage guerrilla warfare against the DCMS garrison. As of late December  [[3150]] they were still resisting the Combine.<ref>''IlClan'', p. 121, "Still Going Strong"</ref>
