This brought a swift reprimand from the Canopian High Command, and the Marauders were reassigned to the planet Andarmax, but their actions had transformed Sax into a hotbed of determined resistance. The Marauders responded to the constant harassment in a brutal fashion for every Canopian trooper killed, the Marauders rounded up a dozen members of the local population and executed them. This became obvious in the aftermath of the capture of Sax in December 3030 although the local militia was quickly overwhelmed, resistance on the planet continued in the form of terrorist acts, bombings and sniper attacks, even after the planetary government had surrendered. MacGraw's Marauders had a rather more ignominious war formed originally from refugees from the Rim Worlds Republic, the Marauders shared the Lancers' distaste for Spheroids.

The extent to which the militia was determined to resist left the Lancers with grave concerns about the level of determination a line regiment or Warrior House would display in combat. The campaign on Jacomarie left a mark on the Lancers the planetary militia refused repeated calls to surrender, forcing the Lancers to hunt them down one at a time. The Light Lancers saw combat on Jacomarie, taking light damage, and would remain on Jacomarie or Turin until their recall to Brixtana in 3034.

In 3030 the Highlanders were one of the Canopian commands involved in the invasion of the Capellan Confederation launched by the Magistracy and their allies, the Duchy of Andurien. The Canopian Highlanders were two battalions strong at the time of the Andurien Secession one of the battalions, Long's Light Lancers, were stationed on Brixtana, whilst the other, MacGraw's Marauders, were stationed on Luxen. Founded after the Reunification War, the unit remained in the service of the Magistracy of Canopus for the next few centuries.
