The Second Taurian Pride was the second regiment of the TDF assigned to the VI Corps.

History

The Second Taurian Pride was the first regiment to support Marshal Kithron's call for Protector Grover Shraplen to act as a regent for Erik Marsten-Calderon. The unit held their peace prior to the formation of the Calderon Protectorate, hoping that the Concordat would view them as "loyal opposition" rather than traitors.[1]

After the formation of the Calderon Protectorate the Second was split up and used to garrison Lastpost, Oscar, and Dilk.[2] During the early Jihad they spent time conducting probing attacks on the Taurian Concordat, but a spike in pirate raids forced them to stop the assaults. They spent the rest of the Jihad fighting the pirates, who were equipped with technology more advanced than was usually used by pirates. They were the garrison forces for Oscar and Lastpost in 3079.[3]

Officers

As of 3064 the commanding officer of the unit is Colonel Julian. Brigadier Marra Westin is the Second's true tactical genius however.[1]

As of 3067 the unit is commanded by Colonel Summerheim.[2]
