The '''Fourteenth Principes Guards''' was a newly-raised regiment in [[3145]], just like its sister regiment, the [[XV Principes Guards|Fifteenth Principes Guards]]. Unlike the Fifteenth, the Fourteenth had the distinction of being raised almost entirely from a single world - [[Elgin]]. The commanding officer of the Fourteenth, [[Colonel]] [[Owen Boyle]], was a distant relative of the [[Captain]] [[Edward T. Elgin]] for whom the planet was renamed centuries earlier.<ref name="FM:3145p141">''Field Manual: 3145'', 141, "Principes Guards"</ref>

The [[Department of Requisition and Replacement]] began deploying additional equipment to the Fourteenth to help speed up the unit's growth after witnessing the impressive results Colonel Boyle was achieving with his new command - Boyle was pushing the Fourteenth hard in training, with the various battalions rarely being seen away from the training fields.<ref name="FM:3145p141"/>

In [[3149]] a battalion of the Fourteenth was deployed on [[Outreach]] where they faced the [[Holdfast Guard]] and [[Warrior House Imarra]]. The Principes battalion took heavy losses in this engagement.<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 14'', p. 10</ref> The fighting was so great that the battalion was effectively destroyed.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 64</ref>
 
 
 
The other battalion of the Fourteenth was stationed on [[Hall]]. When the [[2nd McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] and [[2nd Liao Guards]] dropped on the world on 3 February, the Fourteenth's Second Battalion rampaged through the 2nd MAC's landing zone. After inflicting serious damage they withdrew. They led the [[CCAF]] troops on a merry chase for several weeks thereafter, but were eventually destroyed.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 64</ref>
