The Honor Guard was assigned to defend Constance.[1]
History[edit]
In April 3050 Constance was attacked by Clan Ghost Bear during the First Wave of Operation REVIVAL. The 68th Striker Cluster was tasked with conquering the planet, then defended by the Honor Guard. With major confrontations taking place at Cedar Groves and Harmond Hills, the defenders used every trick in the book to defeat the Clan invaders in this savage battle, including poisoning the general water supply on the assumption the Ghost Bears did not have their own reserves. Star Colonel Chou Vong labeled the Honor Guard dezgra after this incident and used it as an excuse to call down his entire Cluster to finish the battle quickly. However the Honor Guard's use of guerrilla tactics denied this swift victory as both sides resorted to ambushes and other devious tactics. The Honor Guard's elite armor regiments were finally hunted down over the course of five days of attrition fighting.[2]
