Owner History

Planetary History

Post-Jihad Era

As the Jihad wound down, the Magistracy Cavaliers were allowed to return to their homeworld, Thraxa, as a reward for the loyalty they showed the Magestrix. The Cavaliers returned to being responsible for the protection of Thraxa and the nearby world of Vixen, and would clash repeatedly with III Legio of the Marian Hegemony as well as raiding parties from both Astrokaszy and the former Free Worlds League.[5]
