History


In 3068 the Taurian Concordat had initiated combat actions against the breakaway Calderon Protectorate and the 3rd Lancers had been tasked with the conquest of Marknick. The mercenary Black Angus Boys had been contracted to support the offensive operations against the Protectorate, but refused to defend the 3rd Lancers' landing zone when the Lancers found themselves the target of a counterattack by the 1st Taurian Pride. The Black Angus Boys refusal to support the Lancers effectively ended the entire campaign against the Protectorate.[1]

It was reported that as a result of the combat seen during the extended war with the Federated Suns and then in Operation MATADOR the 3rd Taurian Lancers had been reduced to less than a quarter of their established strength by mid-3081.[2]
