−	The '''Second Liao Guards''' was a unit of the [[CCAF]] during the [[Star League Era]]. They were viewed by the rest of the CCAF as a largely show unit, whose members were better at performing on a parade ground than on the battlefield. They spent several years along the [[Periphery]] border and underwent a tough training regimen which at least instilled basic military competency.	+	The '''Second Liao Guards''' was a unit of the [[CCAF]] during the [[Star League Era]].

	A tradition of the Second was that every soldier was issued a white horse, and was responsible for learning how to ride, groom, and care for the animal. The need to move over one hundred horses added to the unit's logistical burden.<ref name=fr2765cc11/>		A tradition of the Second was that every soldier was issued a white horse, and was responsible for learning how to ride, groom, and care for the animal.
