While most of this was created through clandestine funding from financial institutions across the [[Inner Sphere]], as much as fifteen percent had already been accumulated over previous centuries, including the significant equipment stockpiles and [[WarShip]]s that Tadeo had constructed during his time as regent.<ref name=HLT1p100>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 100: "The Secret Army"</ref> ==Notes== * With an estimated seven regiments worth of additional BattleMechs available in the wake of Tadeo Amaris' military buildup,<ref name=SLp56/> the Rim Worlds Army saw the creation of at least two notable units: the [[Twenty-third Republic Light Lancers]]<ref name=HSLC46>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 46: "Tigers and Stealths"</ref> and the [[Third Amaris Legionnaires]].<ref name=ER2750-62>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 62: "Third Amaris Legionnaires"</ref> * By the mid-[[twenty-eighth century]], one of the Rim Worlds Army's flagship [[Rim Worlds Army#Imperial Divisions|Imperial Divisions]] had been named after Tadeo.<ref name=FR2765:P-9>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 18: "Imperial Divisions"</ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[The Periphery (sourcebook)|The Periphery]]'' * ''[[The Star League]]'' [[Category:Rim Worlds Republic Characters|Amaris, Tadeo]]
