History[edit]

The McIntyre House Guard were formed because of devastating infighting between various factions of the Federation's other military force, the Black Warriors.[1] They were able to defend against the Warriors and protect the people and industrial sites on Circinus. They also defended the world from a joint raid by the 6th Orloff Grenadiers and the Timbuktu Theater Militia in 3058.[2]

When the Marian Hegemony invaded the Federation, the House Guard countered VI Legio's arrival on Blantleff. Equipped with heavier machines provided by the Word of Blake the House Guard was able to drive the Legion out of the system. Between the Word of Blake's assistance and salvage taken from the Marian invasion, the unit was able to add a battalion of additional heavy and assault 'Mechs.[3]

After the Black Warriors left the Circinus Federation in late 3067, the House Guard was the only defensive force left to the Federation.[1] Trainees who were assigned to the House Guard usually went through training with the Black Warriors first; if they failed, they were assigned to the House Guard. The House Guard typically operated in battalion sized formations and didn't integrate their supporting units under the company level. They mostly used heavy and assault 'Mechs, usually older models from the Free Worlds League and Lyran Commonwealth. They also used mechanized infantry, tanks, and hovercraft.[4]
