The Dynasty Guard were one of the key regiments of the Capellan Hussars. In addition to functioning as a line unit, they were also responsible for the protection of the extended Liao family and members of the Sheng nobility.[1]

History
Formation
The Dynasty Guards were the only unit in the Capellan Hussars brigade who didn't have a tie to an older unit. Despite this, the Dynasty Guard was created at the same time as the Liao Commonality, and in addition to their normal defensive duties they were assigned to protect members of the Sheng nobility who weren't under the protection of other Capellan Hussar units.[2] In 3063 they were stationed on Liao.[3]

Xin Sheng Campaign
The Dynasty Guard was the only unit from the Capellan Hussars brigade to accept units equipped with Stealth Armor. The Dynasty Guard also ran down the Blackwind Lancers. The Lancers had landed on Highspire and traded long range fire with elements of the Dynasty Guard before retreating off-world. The Dynasty Guard followed them and caught up to the Lancers on Chesterton. There the Guard's First and Third Battalions pinned the Lancers in place until reinforcements forced the Guard to withdraw to Capellan space.[4] They were stationed on Liao in 3067.[5]
Jihad
The Dynasty Guard fought AFFS and Word of Blake forces during Operation Sovereign Justice and during the Jihad. All of these conflicts took place on Liao. Returning this world to the Confederation removed the stain on the Dynasty Guard's honor for losing the world in the Fourth Succession War.[6]
Dark Age
In 3134 the 2nd McCarron's Armored Cavalry sent several detachments to Liao. There they coordinated their strikes with the local population to overthrow the 5th Principes Guards and 5th Triarii Protectors, both units of The Republic of the Sphere. The Dynasty Guard arrived a few weeks later and engaged the Fifth Principes Guards outside Metauque Township. Though they inflicted a great deal of damage on the Fifth, the Dynasty Guard didn't push their attack.[7] Shortly thereafter they attacked the DropPort at Hussan and drove the defending Liao Planetary Militia away from the facility.[8]
Officers
Tactics
During the assault on Liao in 3134 the Dynasty Guard couldn't work with irregular troops that made up most of the pro-Capellan forces on world.[11]
