==History==
The '''Twenty-third Scorpion Cuirassiers''' form one of the strongest defensive units available to the Goliath Scorpions. Though they focus on defense, they have also been used to launch attacks that shatter an enemy formation, forcing the opposing unit from the field.<ref name=FM:WCp112/> They formed the other [[Marshall]] garrison unit in [[3061]]<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 164</ref> and were still there in [[3067]].<ref name=FM:Up78>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 78: "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref>

The Cuirassiers were wiped out in the fighting of the Trial of Refusal against the election of [[Garret Sainze]] to [[ilKhan]]; a three-day campaign against Clan Fire Mandrill fought on [[Shadow]] in [[3072]].<ref name=WoR64>''The Wars of Reaving'', p.64 "Machinations and Manipulations"</ref>
