History
The homeworld of the Davion Light Guards was Mendham. In 3067, their new homeworld was Panpour.[1]
Fed-Com Civil War
During the FedCom Civil War they fought on Sirdar and New Syrtis against Katherine's forces. Later they joined Victor's assault on New Avalon, where they suffered heavy casualties.[2] In 3067, they were reactivated, but they were only at approximately 50% of their listed strength.[3]
Sirdar
On Sirdar the defending Sirdar CMM had no change against the combined might of the 1st Federated Suns Armored Cavalry + 9th Illician Rangers + 21st Illician Rangers + Davion Light Guards. During the fight the suffer light loses.
At the outbreak of the Jihad the Davion Light Guards attempted to land on New Avalon but they were intercepted by Word of Blake WarShips and destroyed before they could make planetfall.[4]
Officers
As of 3062 the Commanding Officer was Hauptmann General Jon Buckvold. He was appointed by Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion in 3060 to replace the retiring Field Marshal Jonathon Riffenberg, who had been in command since 3025. After the Civil War, General Jessica Quarles took command of the Light Guards.[5]
Tactics
The Light Guards used speed and maneuverability to outmaneuver their opponents instead of relying on firepower. They would try to remain on the edge of a battle field, slashing in and isolating small units of enemy forces and destroying them via massed fire. Then they would withdraw to the edge of the battle and look for another opportunity to slash in at the enemy.[6]
