The shield is highlights and out sections is painted in silver as well.<ref>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 112 2nd Janissaries - unit insignia info and its color scheme.</ref> ==History== ===Formation and Early Years === The 2nd Janissaries were conceived by Duchess Candace Liao in [[3047]] as part of her vision of a new type of combat force. However, the Brigade and its sister unit only remained a concept on paper for nearly a decade, due in part of the Compact's lack of resources and the [[Clan Invasion]] of [[3050]] taking up much of the output of its FedCom allies to fight off the [[Clans]]. It would not be until 3058, when St. Ives' military industries would come online and begin to supply the equipment needed to bring the St. Ives Janissaries to life. The 2nd Janissaries became operational in March of [[3060]]. The Brigade would travel to several worlds of the Compact to help with new force's training, before it settled on its new homeworld of [[Warlock]].<ref>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 110-111 St Ives Janissaries - Unit's formation and early years leading to the Capellan-St. Ives War.</ref> ===The Capellan-St. Ives War=== Three months after the unit became operational, a battalion of the [[Blackwind Lancers]] launched their illegal attack against [[Hustaing]] and triggered what would be known later as the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]]. The Brigade first action of the war, came when they were deployed to reinforce Compact forces on [[Denbar]]. Initially, the 2nd Janissaries' assault against [[Marshigama's Legionnaires]] went well against the Capellan regiment. However, Warrior House units counters Janissaries' assault with unexpectedly furious counterattack that threw the brigade back. The Brigade learned to adapt and was able to counter Warrior House's gains with its Battle Armor infantry. In the end this was not enough to hold the planet for the Compact and the Brigade was forced to withdraw from Denbar after seven months of fighting. Some of Denbar's Home Guard Aerospace unit was absorbed by the Janissaries' 288th Aerospace Wing. The 2nd Janissaries were dispatched to [[Indicass]] where they were to back up [[St. Ives Cheveau-Légers]], however arrived too late. The Légers had been destroyed by House Liao invaders and some of their survivors absorbed into the Janissaries. While on Indicass, the Brigade had little chance taking the world. Instead the unit was employed to as means to keep CCAF sending additional reinforcement to hold world while relieving pressure from other Compact forces fighting elsewhere. In 3061, the Thuggees [[Black May]] attacks occurred throughout the Compact. These nerve gas attacks killed civilians and military personnel alike, including the Janissaries' Brigade commanding officer. The Brigade would come under the command of an officer named ''Sang-shao'' Angelina Ilyanova, who was the illegitimate daughter of late House Liao and Strategic Director [[Pavel Ridzik]]. With additional reinforcements arriving from CCAF, the Janissaries were soon forced to quit another world and fall back to [[St. Loris]]. Ilyanova would use her inherited gift of Strategy from her father to allow the Brigade fending off CCAF. With aid from [[Khorsakov's Cossacks]], the Brigade managed to hold the planet for the Compact until its surrender in [[3063]].<ref>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 113 - 2nd Janissaries' actions during the Capellan-St. Ives War.</ref> ===Pre-Jihad Years=== After the War, the unit slowly rebuilt itself from damage it had taken during the war. The unit since [[3063]] rebuilt itself with number 'Mech companies filled out with [[OmniMechs]], by 3067 there were seven of these companies' worth of the 'Mech type which CCAF's high command could not account to where they had come from. The Duchess Candace deployed unit prior to the [[Jihad]] to the House Liao [[Periphery]] ally, the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] for a tour of duty. The command's additional OmniMech replacement came under suspicion that they were secretly come from [[Capellan March]] Duke [[George Hasek II|George Hasek]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 29 - Unit strength and background prior to the Jihad.</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 112 - Brief Info on the Brigade in wake of the Capellan War.</ref> Prior to the Jihad, the Ilyanova would be replaced as commanding officer the brigade by ''Sang-shao'' Souzan Markovic, who had commanded the unit's Combat Command Beta.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 34, - 2nd Janissaries listing show Ilyanova would be replaced by Souzan Markovic, formerly one of the brigade's Regiment commanding officers.</ref> ===Jihad=== In [[3068]], FedSuns renegade Capellan March Lord, Duke [[George Hasek II|George Hasek]] launched [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE|his invasion]] of St. Ives and Capellan Confederation. In the initial invasion, elements of the 2nd Janissaries would shift their loyalties to provide support for the liberation of the St. Ives Compact from Capellan hands. On Warlock, the elements of the Janissaries would hold the planet for Davion supported invasion. In July 3069, the 2nd Janissaries' Combat Command Gamma and the 2nd Rangers regiment would come under attack by the [[Roman's Mounted Fusiliers]]. Prior to former mercenary's landings, Gamma and the Rangers would set up defenses in Warlock's planetary capital.
