History

Formation

The command was created under the Defense Act of 2464 as the first real mech unit within the Free Worlds League.[1] Over the centuries they prove their worth through unquestionable service.
With the 2nd Guards lead the FWLM forces into the former Terran Hegonomy and their final goal was Terra itself. The command used a secret base as preparation for the invasion but unknown forces attack the Guards during the Procyon Campaign in 2789. [1] The unit was heavy involved in fighting along the former terran borders and also at the capellan front troughout of the 1st Succession War.

With the start of the 2nd Succession War the command make an successful raid at the Liao planet Shiro III. The material which was taken was transfered to other units. The command was then assigned to lyran border.

Andurien Secession


War of 3039


Operation Guerrero

Though most of the Clan Invasion, the Second Free Worlds Guards remained at their duty station. The garrison duties had blunted their skill slightly, but the Second was still a formidable force.[2]

Jihad

The Second participated in Operation BROKEN FIST, counterattacking into the Lyran Alliance. They rebuilt their losses and remained on the Lyran border until the Circinus Federation invaded Poulsbo and Khon Kaen. At that point the Second sent a battalion to the worlds as part of a task force. This battalion was destroyed in the fighting, but the task force successfully ejected the Circinians from both worlds.[3]

After the dissolution of the Free Worlds League, the Second joined the Duchy of Tamarind-Abbey. They then struck into the Circinus Federation, following the strikes by the Principality of Regulus. Investigating each system, they rooted out and destroyed several Word of Blake cells that had been missed by the Regulans. Among these hideouts was a Blakist production center on Baltazar III. The Second Guards returned to Tamarind in 3084.[4]

Dark Age

The Second joined the Duchy of Tamarind-Abbey after the dissolution of the Free Worlds League. They were unable to prevent the LCAF from taking Tamarind in 3137. They were assigned to the new Free Worlds League Military when the Free Worlds League was re-established in 3139.[5] They were stationed on Atreus in 3145.[6]
