History
The unit has its roots in the time during the Reunification wars. Refugees of the RWR band together to form a mercenary unit, which is employed for centuries by the MAF. The most notable action was in the past the successful defense of Luxen against Marik invaders. The casualties were high and the rebuild took a long time.
In the late 3050s the Magestrix made a secret agreement with the commander of the brigade to increase the mercenary unit in exchange to become a house unit. Each of the original battalions was expanded to regiment level, because on regiment would remain at merc status to bring new experience to the Magistracy.[1]
Early in the Jihad the two Magistracy Highlander regiments repelled a Word of Blake attack. They couldn't prevent the massive damage inflicted on their nation, but they did force the Blakists out eventually. After expelling the Blakists from their homeland, the two Highlander regiments were stationed along the border with the Free Worlds League and saw that nation collapse. The Highlanders were kept very busy driving off attacks from former League nations, but the Highlanders inflicted serious losses on the raiders.[2]
After the Jihad the Canopian Highlanders officially joined the MAF, becoming part of the Magistracy Highlanders brigade.
