The Falcon Guards were slowly rebuilt and command was given to [[Aidan Pryde]], the [[Khan]]s viewing it appropriate to give a ''[[dezgra]]'' Cluster to a disgraced [[Star Colonel]]. The Falcon Guards regained a great deal of their prestige under the command of Pryde on [[Tukayyid]] when they held off the advancing [[ComGuard]], allowing many Falcon warriors to escape that would otherwise have been killed or captured.

Cleanup tagged articles without a reason field The Falcon Guards is a Cluster serving in Clan Jade Falcon. The Falcon Guards were one of the premier units in the Falcon touman in the beginning of the Clan invasion. The Falcon Guards were destroyed and disgraced in 3050 when they were destroyed in the Great Gash on Twycross by Kai Allard-Liao.
The Falcon Guards were slowly rebuilt and command was given to Aidan Pryde, the Khans viewing it appropriate to give a dezgra Cluster to a disgraced Star Colonel. The Falcon Guards regained a great deal of their prestige under the command of Pryde on Tukayyid when they held off the advancing ComGuard, allowing many Falcon warriors to escape that would otherwise have been killed or captured. Following Tukayyid, the Falcon Guards started being nicknamed "Pryde's Pride".
Being considered a prestige unit, only elite warriors were assigned to the Falcon Guards. But after the heavy losses on Tukayyid most remaining elite and veteran warriors were freeborns. In later years, mainly fresh warriors from the sibkos were assigned to the Falcon Guards.
After all these years, the Falcon Guards are still a paradox unit: They are an elite unit and at the same time consist mainly of freeborns, which are considered flawed human beings.
The Falcon Guards also fought against the Steel Vipers in 3061. The Steel Vipers have a demise for freeborns and tried to wipe out especially the Falcon Guards. However the Falcon Guards proofed to be a tough opponent, even for the Triash Keshik. Though they were outmatched, the freeborn Star Commander Diana Pryde managed to destroy the mech of Khan Perigard Zalman. Upon seeing this, the rest of the Steel Vipers fled. Diana Pryde was promoted to the rank of Star Captain.
In 3064 a trinary of the Falcon Guards was stationed on Twycross, as an honor guard to this planet with it's great sentimental value. Archer Christifori knew, that defeating this unit on this planet would enrage a host of other Jade Falcon units to leave their positions and hunt him down. He attacked that trinary, which accidently broke zellbrigen, the Clan rules for honorable battle. Several clusters, including the rest of the Falcon Guards, attacked Christiforis combat group, but was defeated as reinforcements arrived. Star Captain Diana Pryde was among the few survivors.
Several months later, Diana Pryde was promoted Star Colonel and commander of the Falcon Guards, which were scheduled for rebuild.
