The First Taurian Pride was founded as the lead unit of the Taurian Concordat's VI Corps.

History

After the formation of the Calderon Protectorate, the New Colony Lancers took on the new name First Taurian Pride to distinguish themselves from the insurrection of the Colonial Marshals. Referring to themselves as loyal Taurians engaged in civil disobedience calms the fears of the Taurian Concordat who would otherwise expect a violent rebellion like the Marshals. To further identify themselves as loyal to the ideals of the Concordat, the Pride only wear the Taurian Concordat logo.[1]

In 3064 the First Taurian Pride was deployed into its constituent battalions and stationed on Erod's Escape, Tyrrhenia, and Mirfak.[2]

After the formation of the Calderon Protectorate, the First rapidly gained experience. Where it was originally a green unit, by 3067 the frequent skirmishes with pirates and other forces led many intelligence agencies to rate the First Pride's skill level as Veteran. The regiment remained split into battalion level formations, and garrisoned Erod's Escape, Marknick, and Gaul.[3]

Officers

As of 3064 the commanding officer of the unit is Colonel Moore one of Jeffrey Calderons local advisers from the Calderon Protectorate.[1]
In 3067 the unit is commanded by Colonel LaCasse.[4]

Tactics

The Taurian Pride hasn't developed a particular tactical specialty, but their unit cohesion is present at all levels.[1]
