Reconstituted brigade
Named after the famed Age of War era brigade, the present day (3145) Tikonov Guards were formed from Freedom Fighters, Revolutionaries and Dissidents that rose up against the Republic of the Sphere and Federated Suns following the events of Gray Monday. Initially equipped with armed civilian 'Mechs and whatever else was at hand, these ragtag rebels were eventually formed into individual BattleMech Regiments one after another as the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces advanced into their specific regions.[1]
All Tikonov Guards regiments were originally equipped from Capellan stockpiled equipment such as Assassins and Firebees.[2] They preferred locally produced weapons like Koscheis and Thunderbolts as replacements.[1]
The Tikonov Guards were considered the reserve regiments of the Tikonov Commonality.[3]
Operation GREAT FLOOD
The First and Second Tikonov Guards were formed during and fought in Operation GREAT FLOOD.
Operation CELESTIAL VENGEANCE
The First, Second and Third Tikonov Guards fought in Operation CELESTIAL VENGEANCE.
Officers
All military forces inside a Commonality are commanded by a Line Director and a Home Guard Director. The Line Director is also responsible for the readiness, supply, training and personnel needs of all BattleMech regiments based in the Commonality, even if they are assigned to another Commonality temporarily.
