The brigade has existed since the founding of the Canopian nation as the basis of its official army. The army was later expanded with other formations to form what is today known as the Magistracy Armed Forces. From the former four regiments only two survived until 3025. The commands fought many battles against Marik raiders or the Star League. One entire regiment sacrificed them self to secure an important production complex for the state.[1]

History
Star League Era
The Chasseurs à Cheval were formed as the Canopian Light Horse regiments. They formed the core of the Magistracy's military from the time of the nations creation to the modern day. In 2765 the Chasseurs were known as the brigade where the truly skilled graduates of the Magistracy military academy would serve. At this time each regiment was also assigned a Pinto-class WarShip as part of its escort in addition to their normal complement of JumpShips.[2]
