The unit, stationed on [[Deneb Kaitos]], needed to seek employment with one of the Successor houses in order to support themselves and their families.

The Thirteenth had been stationed in the [[Le Blanc]] system when the Star League was founded, and it and all of the other sub-units for the First Foreign Regiment were recalled to Terra at this point and reorganized into the new French Royal Regiments within the SLDF.<ref name=fmsldf224/> − The Star League had recognized the need in its early years for quick-response units that could deploy rapidly to any world, tasks that the SLDF Independent regiments and Marine regiments were ill-equipped and trained to perform, and as a result the SLDF quickly developed a new formation to tackle these tasks. These new units became known as Rapid Deployment Mixed Armed Forces regiments, or RDMAF units, and were considered to be a part of the Special Operations command of the SLDF, placing them outside of the standard Regular Army organization. These RDMAF units were assigned to every combat region, and quickly became an open secret within the [[Inner Sphere]]; recruited from the world of [[Deneb Kaitos]], the RDMAFs became known as the Deneb Light Cavalry. When [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] launched [[Operation EXODUS]] and led the bulk of the surviving SLDF out of the Inner Sphere in the wake of the [[Amaris Civil War]], only one surviving RDMAF chose to remain in the Inner Sphere - the [[Fourth Deneb Light Cavalry]].<ref name="FM:FSp84">''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 84, "Deneb Light Cavalry"</ref> Commanded by [[General]] [[Eveline McDennis]], the Fourth was determined to protect its homeworld from the ravages of war that were certain to come as the Star League collapsed, but with trade subject to massive disruption and the population beginning to starve, General McDennis looked outside her homeworld for help. Pledging that they would support whichever House could guarantee that the people of Deneb Kaitos would have enough food to survive until they could become self-sufficient, McDennis found only one House willing to meet her terms - and the Fourth Deneb Light Cavalry joined the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns accordingly.<ref name="HD(TFS)">''House Davion (The Federated Suns), unnumbered page, "Deneb Light Cavalry"</ref> In total, the AFFS recruited enough personnel from the Thirteenth Royal French Demi-Brigade in [[2782]] - including the Fourth Deneb Light Cavalry - to form three regiments, the Fourth, [[5th Deneb Light Cavalry|Fifth]] and [[8th Deneb Light Cavalry|Eighth Deneb Light Cavalry]].<ref name="FSWp33"/> By [[2786]] the brigade had expanded to five regiments, with the addition of the [[3rd Deneb Light Cavalry|Third]] and [[Ninth Deneb Light Cavalry]].<ref name="FSWp134">''First Succession War'', p. 134, "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns (AFFS)"</ref>+ ==Command== + Marshal Andrew Terlecki Jr. lead this brigade after the retirement of his father.
