History

The McIntyre House Guard were formed because of devastating infighting between various factions of the Federation's other military force, the Black Warriors.[1]

After the Black Warriors left the Circinus Federation in 3067, the House Guard was the only defensive force left to the Federation.[1] Trainees who were assigned to the House Guard usually went through training with the Black Warriors first; If they failed, they were assigned to the House Guard. The House Guard typically operated in battalion sized formations and didn't integrate their supporting units under the company level. They mostly used heavy and assault 'Mechs, usually older models from the Free Worlds League and Lyran Commonwealth. They also used mechanized infantry, tanks, and hovercraft.[2]

Officers

In 3064 as to 3067 the commanding officer of the House Guard unit is Colonel Jenna Lawrences.[3][4]

Tactics

The Guard is specialized in static defense tactics, used 'Mech sized traps and other gimmicks from this spart.[3] They were intended as the shield to the Black Warriors sword, so this makes sense.[5]
