History

The First Buena Guards actually predate the Commonwealth Guards brigade by several years. They were formed shortly after Buena replaced Alarion was destroyed in 3082.[1] They were stationed on Buena in 3085.[2]

They saw heavy action against Clan Wolf, fighting on Bella I and Dixie. They then withdrew to Tharkad and arrived just before the Wolves did. They sustained moderate losses at the Battle of Nagelring, but by 3145 they had recovered from most of those losses thanks to new recruits and salvage from Tharkad. They were stationed on Buena in 3145.[3]
