The '''Twelfth Arcturan Guards''' was a part of the first expansion of the Arcturan Guards [[brigade]] following the founding of the original nine [[regiment]]s. The expansion consisted of three regiments – the [[10th Arcturan Guards|Tenth]], [[11th Arcturan Guards|Eleventh]] and Twelfth Arcturan Guards; having named each of the original nine regiments of the Guards for the Muses of Greek mythology, the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] attempted to continue the trend by naming the new regiments after the three Muses of Plutarch. In the case of the Twelfth, that Muse was Aoide.<ref name="FM2765:LCp8">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', pp. 8–9: "Arcturan Guards"</ref> The Twelfth was evidently destroyed or disbanded prior to [[2765]],<ref name="FM2765:LCp8"/> possibly during the [[Age of War]] or as a result of the [[Star League]] [[Council Edict of 2650]].

* According to Greek mythology the Muse [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aoide Aoide] was the Muse of song.
 
* Based upon the detail available on the "second wave" of Arcturan Guards units being named for the Muses of [[w:Plutarch|Plutarch]], the destroyed or disbanded Twelfth Arcturan Guard would have been named for the Muse [[w:Aoide|Aoide]], the Muse of song.
