The second second brigade of former House Liao employed mercenary units to be offered permanent Confederation sponsorship, the Citizens' Honored

History

Formed three months after McCarron's Armored Cavalry became a House Liao line unit, a delay born out of respect for the Big Mac and the Blackwind Lancers' ill-fated attack against the Confederation, the Citizen's Honored was built around the well-respected and A* Dragoon rated 4th Tau Ceti Rangers, the 15th Dracon and Lockhardt's Ironsides, all units with long histories of service to the Confederation

Laurel's Legion was added later, a former Liao employed mercenary unit that uneasily serving the Federated Commonwealth after their homeworld of Tigress was captured in the Fourth Succession War. The Legion responded to Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao's invitation for all expatriate Liao units to return home, a choice supported by their homeworld despite the fact it remained deep in House Davion controlled space. [1]

As if to prove themselves worthy of the Chancellor's offer of sponsorship, while not taking part in the Xin Sheng Campaign, the units of the Citizen's Honored performed well beyond what was expected of them. With each of the four regiments earning an impressive volume of citations, the personal favor shown the brigade by the Chancellor has seen off those detractors who claim they have not truly earned their accolades.

Colors and Unit Insignia

  • The various component elements of the Citizens' Honored have retained their own color schemes and insignia with one exception, as a reminder of their years of mercenary service two thin silver lines symbolizing money are painted on a 'Mech's lower leg, AeroSpace Fighter wing or rear quarter of a Combat Vehicle. Only those who have served time as mercenaries feature these, new non-mercenary recruits do not. [1]
  • The brigade's crest is tiger inside an inverted triangle of dadao swords, according to Han symbolism the beast signifies strength. [1]
