The [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] became the private guard and personal army of the Hasek family, with their star rising alongside that of the Hasek family and New Syrtis; the [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] expanded, and as time progressed the [[brigade]] became the official guard of New Syrtis and then perhaps the most important military command within the [[Capellan March]] Principality of the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name="FR2765:FSp18">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 18: "Syrtis Fusiliers"</ref> === Davion Civil War === The bulk of the Syrtis Fusiliers brigade supported Prince [[David Varnay]] and his wife [[Cassandra Davion]] loyally throughout the [[Davion Civil War]], opposing first the combined forces of [[Laura Davion]] and [[Nikolai Rostov]] and then [[First Prince]] [[Alexander Davion]]. At the end of the war Prince Alexander offered an amnesty to the survivors from the [[brigade]], and reintegrated the Syrtis Fusiliers into the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]], the restructured military that replaced the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]] as the state military of the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/> Alexander's clemency towards the Syrtis Fusiliers and his subsequent actions in rebuffing the attempt by [[Richard Varnay]] to seize control of the Capellan March cemented the Fusiliers' loyalty to [[New Avalon]] and the wider Federated Suns.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/> === The Star League === The Second Syrtis Fusiliers served the Federated Suns well in the two centuries following the Davion Civil War; when the [[Star League]] council issued the [[Council Edict of 2650]], sharply limiting the size of the military each [[Great House]] was allowed to maintain, the Second and her sister regiments were left untouched. The brigade would remain ten regiments strong until shortly after the repeal of the Council Edict of 2650.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/> In the mid-twenty-eighth century the Second - then nicknamed "Teyrnon's Axemen" - were stationed in the rimward tip of the Capellan March, a region where the [[Capellan Confederation]] and [[Taurian Concordat]] intersected. As tensions escalated throughout the end of the Star League era the Second saw more combat than most commands because of its location and operated as a collection of picket forces dotted across numerous systems to try and counteract the increasing number of raids occurring.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/> === Dark Age Era === Reconstituted during the [[Dark Age era]] as a [[Light Combat Team]] attached to the [[Capellan March Brigade]], the reborn Second Syrtis Fusiliers were stationed on the Capellan March world of [[Atlas (planet)|Atlas]] immediately prior to the Confederation's mammoth [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]].
