−	The First St. Ives Lancers were raised as a part of the [[St. Ives Mercantile Association]]'s army. They formed the core of the St. Ives Lancers brigade from their inception. Once the Mercantile Association joined the Capellan Confederation their skill and tactical acumen quickly made them a highly valued part of the CCAF. The Lancers were primarily drawn from the household guards of the [[St. Ives Commonality]], and they never wanted for supplies or equipment. The First typically received the most skilled MechWarriors. In the [[Star League Era]] they rarely operated outside their Commonality. In [[2765]] they were stationed on [[Atlas (system)|Atlas]].<ref name=frcc14/>	+	The First St. Ives Lancers were raised as a part of the [[St. Ives Mercantile Association]]'s army.

−	The First Lancers were almost destroyed twice during the early [[Succession Wars]] - first in the defense of [[Bethel]] against the [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] in [[2760]] and again during the defense of [[Spica]] against the [[Ceti Hussars]] in [[2857]]. The unit also had a number of notable achievements during this period - the First Lancers' ''[[Crusader]]''s were involved in a highly successful diversion raid against [[Redfield]] in [[2832]], and the unit's destruction of six [[Davion]] ''[[Marauder]]''s without suffering any losses during the occupation of [[Mira]].<ref name=HL88>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 88: "Unit Profile"</ref>	+	The First Lancers were almost destroyed twice during the early [[Succession Wars]] - first in the defense of [[Bethel]] against the [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] in [[2760]] and again during the defense of [[Spica]] against the [[Ceti Hussars]] in [[2857]].

−	The First Lancer's service as one of the most decorated units within the Capellan Armed Forces continued during the final decades of the [[Third Succession War]], with the Lancers capturing a valuable [[Marik]] DropShip during the attempted invasion of [[Wei]] in [[3001]], followed by the command assisting [[Wilson's Hussars]] in successfully repulsing a concerted Davion attack against [[Highspire]] in [[3012]].<ref name=HL88/>	+	The First Lancer's service as one of the most decorated units within the Capellan Armed Forces continued during the final decades of the [[Third Succession War]], with the Lancers capturing a valuable [[Marik]] DropShip during the attempted invasion of [[Wei]] in [[3001]], followed by the command assisting [[Wilson's Hussars]] in successfully repulsing a concerted Davion attack against [[Highspire]] in [[3012]]. <ref name=HL88/>
−	This string of victories was tarnished when the First St. Ives Lancers were called upon to defend their own homeworld of [[St. Ives]] against the [[Avalon Hussars]] in [[3014]]. While the unit was successfully able to drive off the Davion invaders with little damage to the planet's industrial assets, the First Lancers suffered horrendous losses after the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] eliminated the Capellan air cover early in the engagement, the Lancers losing more than half their men and equipment to the Avalon Hussars' ''[[Griffin]]''s. As of [[3025]] the rebuilding command was licking its wounds, eager for another round with the forces of House Davion.<ref name=HL88/>	+	This string of victories was tarnished when the First St. Ives Lancers were called upon to defend their own homeworld of [[St. Ives]] against the [[Avalon Hussars]] in [[3014]].

−	The First Lancers was the Compact's first choice for [[Task Force Serpent]], the reborn [[Star League|Star League's]] assault on the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] homeworld of [[Huntress]], but it was deemed more important to keep the First and its commander [[Kai Allard-Liao]] visible in the Inner Sphere.<ref name=TOTC1>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 9</ref>	+	The 1st Lancers was the Compact's first choice for [[Task Force Serpent]], the reborn [[Star League]]'s assault on the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] homeworld of [[Huntress]], but it was deemed more important to keep the 1st and its commander [[Kai Allard-Liao]] visible in the Inner Sphere.<ref name=TOTC1>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 9</ref>
−	The unit fought the Smoke Jaguars on [[Schuyler]] during [[Operation Bulldog]] before accompanying Victor Steiner-Davion's task force to the [[Clan Homeworlds]].

The unit also had a number of notable achievements during this period - the First Lancers' ''[[Crusader]]''s were involved in a highly successful diversion raid against [[Redfield]] in [[2832]], and the unit's destruction of six [[Davion]] ''[[Marauder]]''s without suffering any losses during the occupation of [[Mira]].<ref name=HL88>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'' p. 88, "Unit Profile"</ref> The First Lancer's service as one of the most decorated units within the Capellan Armed Forces continued during the final decades of the [[Third Succession War]], with the Lancers capturing a valuable [[Marik]] DropShip during the attempted invasion of [[Wei]] in [[3001]], followed by the command assisting [[Wilson's Hussars]] in successfully repulsing a concerted Davion attack against [[Highspire]] in [[3012]]. <ref name=HL88/> This string of victories was tarnished when the First St. Ives Lancers were called upon to defend their own homeworld of [[St. Ives]] against the [[Avalon Hussars]] in [[3014]]. While the unit was successfully able to drive off the Davion invaders with little damage to the planet's industrial assets, the First Lancers suffered horrendous losses after the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] eliminated the Capellan air cover early in the engagement, the Lancers losing more than half their men and equipment to the Avalon Hussars' ''[[Griffin]]''s. As of [[3025]] the rebuilding command was licking its wounds, eager for another round with the forces of House Davion. <ref name=HL88/> Being stationed on St. Ives during the [[Fourth Succession War]] it defected to the newly formed [[St. Ives Compact]]. ===Andurien/Canopus Invasion=== {{Sectionstub}} ===War of 3039=== {{Sectionstub}} ===Operation Bulldog=== The 1st Lancers was the Compact's first choice for [[Task Force Serpent]], the reborn [[Star League]]'s assault on the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] homeworld of [[Huntress]], but it was deemed more important to keep the 1st and its commander [[Kai Allard-Liao]] visible in the Inner Sphere.<ref name=TOTC1>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 9</ref> Fought in [[Operation Bulldog]] and the [[Great Refusal]].<ref name=FMCCp104/> ===Xin Sheng Campaign=== During the ''Xin Sheng'' Campaign, the First Lancers spent a lot of time raiding the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Five years of fighting wouldn't have been possible except the First took the time to establish a strong support network that kept them in the fight.<ref name=FMCCp104/> At the end of the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]], the unit partially rebuilt its AeroSpace wing by taking in survivors of the destroyed [[St. Ives Cheveau Legers]].<ref name=FMCCp104/> ===FedCom Civil War=== Kai Allard-Liao took a battalion of the First Lancers to meet [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] on [[Thorin]] and assisted him in deposing his sister. The Lancers fought on [[Tikonov]] and [[New Avalon]]. Once the fighting had concluded they served as the garrison unit for [[Tikonov]] until the permanent garrison arrived.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 29</ref> ===Jihad=== The First fought against the [[AFFS]] forces deployed in [[Operation Sovereign Justice]]. Due to those actions they weren't present on St. Ives when the [[Word of Blake]] struck, but they later raided [[Zion]] and [[Genoa]] in retaliation.<ref name=frcc18/> ===Republic Era=== In [[3081]] the First was ordered to attack [[Genoa]]. After driving away the Dragonfang Cluster, the unit received orders to attack [[Terra Firma]]. Kai Allard-Liao refused the order because Terra Firma had never been part of the Capellan Confederation. The soldiers under his command mutinied against him, and he barely escaped with the help of a few loyal troops. This betrayal by their leader and the need to fight their comrades led the First Lancers to a low and bitter morale. The Strategios has implemented plans to rebuild the unit on [[St. Ives]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 25</ref> ===Dark Age=== The First has rarely seen combat since it's last major combat operation, capturing [[Kittery]] during the [[Victoria War]]. This has resulted in other then sporadic offensive actions against the [[RAF]] and [[AFFS]] over the past decade, they have largely stayed on their home of [[St. Ives]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 37, "St. Ives Armored Cavalry - First St. Ives Lancers"</ref> ==Officers== As of [[3050]] to [[3054]] the commanding officer was [[Colonel]] Caroline Seng.<ref name=20Yp29>''20 Year Update'', p. 29, "AFFC Deployment Table - 3050"</ref><ref name=ORp43>''Objective Raids'', p. 43, "AFFC Deployment Table -
