History
Age of War
The original 3rd Tikonov Guards was a unit that fought for the Capellan Confederation during the Age of War. They were apparently destroyed and the Strategios decided not to rebuild the unit.
Reformation
Numerous resistance groups were formed with Maskirovka assistance following the loss of central authority brought about by Gray Monday. Even while the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces were busy reclaiming worlds lost to the Republic of the Sphere, the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns were also attempting to do the same. On the planets Kansu, Bharat, Hamal and even Chesterton, independence groups fought to keep their worlds free of Davion control. When House Liao finally reached their region of space in 3041, the Kansu Braves, Bharatiya Ganpats, Chesterton Long Rifles and Hamal Cossacks agreed to join the CCAF. These groups were soon reequipped from Capellan supply depots and assembled to become the Third Tikonov Guards.[1]
The unit was a reserve regiment of the Tikonov Commonality by 3145.[2]
Operation GREAT FLOOD
The Third Tikonov Guards were formed near the end of Operation GREAT FLOOD in 3141. As such, they did not fight in it.[1]
Operation CELESTIAL VENGEANCE
Sometime in 3144[3], the Third Sian Dragoons and the First Tikonov Guards fought the First Federated Suns Armored Cavalry for control of Almach as part of Operation CELESTIAL VENGEANCE. The superior maneuverability and ambush tactics employed by the Federated Suns unit resulted in a victory against the Capellan force. The planet would later fall in a second invasion attempt later that year.[4]
Officers
In 3145 the commanding officer was Sang-shao Juanping Karina.[5]
Tactics
The Third Tikonov Guards are very accurate in long range combat and prefer to keep the enemy at range.[1]
Unit Emblem
The regiment flies dark green banners from their mechs and vehicles. Equipment is painted dark green and goldenrod.[1]
