===Fourth Succession War===
Elements of the Second would take part in the [[Fourth Succession War]] under their own name when the combined Crucis Lancers RCTs attacked [[Tikonov]] from their jumping-off point of [[Mira]] during the second wave of [[Operation RAT]], the first time in the Lancers history that all eight RCTs attacked a single world. Despite their inexperience in comparison to the other Lancer forces, the Second Crucis Lancers were tasked with the capture of the mountain city of Gizhiga, facing elements of the [[Ariana Grenadiers]]. Aided by heavy fighter support on October 9 and fighting like veterans, the Second took the city within two weeks.<ref name=BPFSW>''BattlePack: Fourth Succession War'', pp. 16–17: "Scenario 3: Strike at the Heart"</ref><ref name=NAISv1p11>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 11: "Operation Rat"</ref><ref name=NAISv1p30>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 30: "Other Actions on Tikonov"</ref>

After securing the planet, the Second moved on to attack [[Tigress]] with the [[Third Crucis Lancers]]. An important prize of Operation RAT's third wave, the so-called Laurel's World was defended by the fanatical [[Warrior House Hiritsu]], elements of [[Kerr's Intruders]] and the native all-female [[Laurel's Legion]]. Attacking the vital Four Cities industrial complex from the north while the Third struck from the south, the Second Crucis Lancers easily avoided an ambush set up by Kerr's Intruders and overwhelmed the Capellan troops. The Third fared much worse against the elite Hiritsu and an ill-coordinated attack from the combined Lancer forces narrowly avoided becoming a disaster. As the battle swung toward the Crucis Lancers, Hiritsu chose to forcibly take the bulk of Laurel's Legion when they withdrew from Tigress. When the still-fighting Legion Third [[Company]] heard their sisters had been effectively kidnapped at gunpoint, they surrendered to the Second Lancers and offered to assist the AFFS in rescuing them.<ref name=NAISv1p38>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1, pp. 38–39: "Tigress"</ref> Once Tigress fell, the Second Crucis remained to garrison the planet.<ref name=NAISv1p11/>
