History
The 7th Crucis Lancers was formed in 2795 on Winter, from Star League loyalists and and semi-independent units affiliated with the Federated Suns. Their first mission was the defense of Kentares IV from the Draconis Combine. Survivors of the onslaught became guerrilla troops. It is rumored that a member of McKinnon's Company was the assassin who killed Minoru Kurita. After the Kentares Massacre, only two companies remained. The 7th Crucis Lancers was kept on Davion rosters as a memorial. The unit was revived during the Second Succession War, but was again effectively destroyed after one mission in Kurita space.
In 2900, Martin Kane-Logan, a descedant of the surviors from Kentares, was given command of the 7th. By 2922 the unit was increased to the size of a brigade. Ineffective leadership by Randolph Kan-Logan forced the unit to be reduced to regiment size.
In 3027, the Lancers saw action on the Combine world of Misery, fighting Wolf's Dragoons. [1]
In the Fourth Succession War the 7th Crucis Lancers attacked Tikonov with the other Crucis Lancer RCTs. After that attack, they moved on to take Menkib and Foochow.[2] The fifth wave of AFFS invasion into the Capellan Confederation saw the 7th Crucis Lancers attacking New Macao[3], and in the sixth wave of attacks they secured the Matsu system for the Federated Suns.[4]
Officers
As of 3062 the Commanding Officer was Leutnant-General Jasper Zibler.
