1st Liao Guards

History

The First Liao Guards were the first unit formed of their brigade. They were also the first unit sent to the Periphery border when Chancellor Warex Liao ordered the Liao Guards to improve. They spent forty years undergoing a massive training program that turned them from a useless parade ground unit into competent soldiers. They still retained their parade ground competence, but they were also capable of fighting battles and winning them.

During the First Succession War the First fought the Free Worlds League Military's invasion of the Sarna Commonality. They were highly effective in this role, and forced the FWLM to use nuclear weapons to destroy them.

In the post-Blackout period, the Liao Guards were rebuilt as part of Chancellor Daoshen Liao's "Hidden Lion" program. During Operation GREAT FLOOD in 3134 the First Liao Guards landed on Styk, New Canton, and Zion, and faced several Republic of the Sphere armed forces. They acquitted themselves well during these combats, pacifying the worlds. Shortly after Liao was reclaimed by the Capellan Confederation the First Liao Guards arrived and led a parade down the streets of Cynthiana. After that the First was used to pacify worlds that had been claimed by the Federated Suns in Prefecture IV. They skirmished with the 3rd Federated Suns Armored Cavalry, but the AFFS unit had to withdraw due to concerns of an attack by the Draconis Combine.
