History
Age of War
The original 1st Tikonov Guards was a unit that fought for the Capellan Confederation during the Age of War. They were apparently destroyed and the Strategios decided not to rebuild the unit.
Reformation
Numerous resistance groups were formed with Maskirovka assistance following the loss of central authority brought about by Gray Monday. Hailing from former Sarna Commonality worlds taken by the Republic of the Sphere, these rebels and defectors immediately joined the invading Capellan Confederation Armed Forces as auxiliaries serving in irregular battalions. These battalions were soon assembled to become the 1st Tikonov Guards.[1]
The unit was assigned as a reserve regiment of the Tikonov Commonality by 3145.[2]
Operation GREAT FLOOD
The Second Tikonov Guards was formed after Operation GREAT FLOOD reached the worlds of the former Tikonov Commonality.
Operation CELESTIAL VENGEANCE
In December of 3144, the Second Tikonov Guards alongside the Fifth McCarron's Armored Cavalry defeated the Twelfth Vegan Rangers and secured Chesterton as part of Operation CELESTIAL VENGEANCE.[3]
Officers
In 3145 the commanding officer was Sang-shao Bronislaw Podjasek.[4]
Tactics
The 1st Tikonov Guards were noted to have never withdrawn and prefer going toe to toe with their opponents. The unit could withstand enormous pressure without breaking.[1]
Unit Emblem
The symbol of the second is a black mallet set against a red star. Equipment is painted dark green and goldenrod.[1]
