As a part of the [[Tikonov Lancers]] [[brigade]], the '''Second Tikonov Lancers''' can claim a line of direct descent from some of the first military units to be formed outside of the [[Terran Alliance]].<ref name="FR:CC2765">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 15: "Tikonov Lancers"</ref> The Second Lancers served the [[Tikonov Grand Union]] and continued to serve after the Grand Union joined the newly-formed [[Capellan Confederation]].<ref name="FR:CC2765">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 15: "Tikonov Lancers"</ref>

When the Capellan Confederation began producing [[BattleMech]]s the Second Lancers changed role; their sister regiment, the [[1st Tikonov Lancers|First Tikonov Lancers]], became a shock assault unit, a bludgeoning mace that counterassaulted every challenge to the Confederation's sovereignty, equipped with the most powerful 'Mechs that [[Earthwerks Limited]] could produce. The Second Lancers were equipped with BattleMechs in turn, but the 'Mechs of the Second were lightweight, jump-capable 'Mechs, and the Second became a swift rapier that complemented the heavier First Lancers.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/>

It was during the Age of War that [[Franco Liao]] purged the noble trained bands that had been dominated by the families of the Tikonov Tetrarchs and ''sheng'' nobility, removing their influence from the various Tikonov Lancers regiments with varying degrees of success.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/>

The Second Lancers were one of eight regiments within the Tikonov Lancers by [[2765]], at which point the Capellan Confederation was in the process of rapidly rebuilding its armed forces. No [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] units outside the Tikonov Lancers could claim the five centuries of martial history and tradition that the various Lancer regiments enjoyed; in common with the other Lancers regiments, the Second was also more rigid in their doctrine and inflexible in character than the units of other CCAF brigades, a direct consequence of the huge emphasis played on maintaining continuity with the heritage and traditions of the Lancers.<ref name="FR:CC2765"/>
