The homeworld of the [[Arcadian Cuirassiers]] [[brigade]], [[Demeter]], was one of the founding worlds of the interstellar states that became known as the [[Chesterton Trade League]]<ref name="FR:FS2765p11"/> - and also as the [[Chesterton Trade Federation]] - one of the earliest states to form as the [[Terran Alliance]] began to weaken.<ref name="HL(TCC)p20">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 20</ref> The Cuirassiers were Demeter's premiere combat formation and served until the [[Federated Suns]] captured Demeter from the [[Tikonov Grand Union]], of which the Chesterton Trade League was a part.<ref name="FR:FS2765p11">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 11: "Arcadian Cuirassiers"</ref> Demeter proved loyal to the Federated Suns, as did the Arcadian Cuirassiers, who as Demeter's premiere combat unit were incorporated into the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]] and the FPF's successor organization, the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. Demeter's loyalty was rewarded with heavy investments in planetary infrastructure by the Federated Suns government, and the Cuirassiers also benefited from this investment; the Cuirassiers commonly received much of their equipment from the massive [[Lycomb-Davion IntroTech]] production facilities on Demeter throughout the existence of the brigade.<ref name="FR:FS2765p11"/> === Star League Era === When the [[Star League]] Council issued the [[Council Edict of 2650]], the Federated Suns was required to draw down its military, as were the other [[Great House]]s, and many units were deactivated.
