==History==
 
==History==
In [[2602]], in the wake of the [[Reunification War]], the Ninety-first was briefly involved in the increasing tensions between the [[Star League]] and the [[Draconis Combine]], caused by the drunken and paranoid [[Coordinator]] [[Leonard Kurita]]'s search for his bastard children. Convinced that [[First Lord]] [[Ian Cameron]] had secretly spirited some into the [[Terran Hegemony]], in [[2602]] Leonard ordered several [[lance]]s of [[BattleMech]]s and [[platoon]]s of [[infantry]] to scour schools and orphanages on the [[jointly owned world]] of [[Asta]] for any of his heirs, contravening the Jointly Held Worlds Agreement forbidding the deployment of military forces. Sent in to eject the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] troops, by the time the Ninety-first landed on Asta the Combine forces had withdrawn along with fourteen children they believed resembled the Coordinator. Ultimately medical tests proved that none were related to Leonard Kurita and all fourteen were returned to Asta, but the incident only served to escalate tensions between the two powers.<ref name=SL-53>''The Star League'', p. 53: "History - Postwar Era - Leonard's Folly"</ref>

In [[2602]] the Ninety-first failed to stop [[Draconis Combine]] troops from kidnapping fourteen children from a school on [[Asta]].{{cn}}
 
 
In [[2763]], the Regiment was stationed on New Samarkand, rarely deploying away due to lack of transport JumpShips.<ref name="SLDFp186">''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 186</ref> In [[2764]], the Ninety-first was assigned, as part of [[XL Corps (Star League)|XL Corps]], [[Fifteenth Army (Star League)|Fifteenth Army]], to District 2 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]], but was moved to an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]] to take part in the [[Periphery Uprising]] by [[2765]].<ref name=SL148>''The Star League'', p. 148: "Fifteenth Army"</ref>
 
 
 
Having survived the war and the [[Hegemony Campaign]], it was the first regiment of the SLDF to desert in the summer of [[2783]], joining the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]],<ref name=SL96>''The Star League'', p. 96</ref><ref name=SL148/> who redesignated the regiment as the [[Second Crucis Lancers]].<ref name="FSWp33">''First Succession War'', p. 33: "Those Left Behind (Continued)"</ref>
