The '''Fifth Free Worlds Guards''' regiment was formed sometime after the [[Charter of Incorporation]] was signed in [[3139]]. The Fifth initially consisted of the survivors of the [[Iron Guard]] unit, as well as recent graduates from the [[Princefield Military Academy]]. To improve their experience, the Fifth also recruited several retired officers from the [[Duchy of Oriente]]'s Duke's Own Corps of Foot and Horse. Since their formation they spent most of their time fighting off reconnaissance raids by the [[Capellan Confederation]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 102</ref>

History[edit]

The Fifth Free Worlds Guards were originally formed in 3064 as part of Captain-General Thomas Marik's military reforms. The unit's first official duty was to provide security for the Second Star League conference held on Marik in 3064 and spent the next three years proving its worth as a military force. While many of the Fifth's soldiers had been transferred from front-line units and the unit's performance in exercises was exemplary, it had yet to see actual combat by late 3067.[2]

The Fifth Free Worlds Guards regiment was reformed sometime after the Charter of Incorporation was signed in 3139. The Fifth initially consisted of the survivors of the Iron Guard unit, as well as recent graduates from the Princefield Military Academy. To improve their experience, the Fifth also recruited several retired officers from the Duchy of Oriente's Duke's Own Corps of Foot and Horse. Since their formation they spent most of their time fighting off reconnaissance raids by the Capellan Confederation.[3]

In 3145 the unit was split into three smaller commands, garrisoning Hassad, Les Halles, and Calloway VI.[4]
