When the St. Ives Commonality gained its independence, the St. Ives Sentinels were formed by placing two of the Cavalry units into their own brigade. For the next three decades, the St. Ives Sentinels fought their former countrymen with courage and dedication. After the Capellan-St. Ives War, the brigade was retained. Though many in the CCAF felt they were traitors because they defected to the St. Ives Compact, the unit regained acceptance in the Confederation by 3067.

History
To heal the rifts between the St. Ives Sentinels and the rest of the CCAF, Duchess Candace Liao and the Strategios authorized several personnel transfers. This action, combined with the fact that the Sentinels weren't receiving much logistical support from the St. Ives Commonality, led to acceptance by the CCAF.[1]
In the wake of the Jihad the St. Ives Sentinels were considered to be spoiling for war with the Republic of the Sphere, with both regiments suspected of raiding into other states, targeting worlds to which the Confederation continued to stake a claim. This bloodthirsty behaviour was due in large part to the treachery of the 2nd Janissaries in 3068, an act of treachery that the Armored Infantry and the Mounted Fusiliers were keen to exorcise.[2]
During Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS the St. Ives Sentinels faced some of the best troops the Republic of the Sphere could field. Though ultimately the Capellans were ejected from Republic space, the Sentinels fought well, inflicting damage to the Republic troops they faced. Particularly noteworthy was the performance of the Sentinels against forces from Clan Nova Cat. The Sentinels actually forced the Clanners off several worlds, despite having never faced Clan foes.[3]
