Another Title

During the Second Succession War, and era that lasted from 2828 to 2864, The Red Lancers gained a new name, one that would reflect more of a title as they are formally known as The Red Lancers. In 2801, a young Ilsa Liao would be given the Chancellorship on her 18th birthday. Her mother Barbara Liao died during the First Succession War and Sandal Quinn held the Chancellorship from 2795 until Ilsa became of age. Taking leadership during the middle of the First Succession War, she sought a way to end hostilities, to give her realm the breathing room it needed to rebuild. She sent a proposal to the First Prince Paul Davion in 2808 saying she would relinquish her claim to the title of First Lord for a cease fire on their border, he promptly rejected it and had several of his forces attack the Chesterton Commonality. The fighting slowed down and eventually stopped in 2821 ending the First Succession War. The Peace was not to last. In 2828, Capellan forces would invade into Davion Territory to regain lost worlds in the Chesterton Commonality. By attacking Orbisonia, they would knock out an important staging world from the Davion aggression. Ilsa personally lead the Red Lancers in the attack. After four days of fighting, the out maneuvered Capellan forces were in retreat. Somehow the Davion force gained knowledge that Ilsa Liao was personally commanding the rear guard. They singled her out and launched a strike led by the Davion Assualt Guards. She became the first Capellan Chancellor to die on the battlefield. Her action leading the rear-guard allowed the majority of the Capellan forces to retreat from planet. Her death gave the Red Lancers a new nickname, one of honor, for her death was a sacrifice, a sacrifice that saved lives. As she guarded the Lancers, the Lancers guarded her. The Red Heart Guard was born.
