History

The Second Liao Guards was a unit of the CCAF during the Star League Era. They were viewed by the rest of the CCAF as a largely show unit, whose members were better at performing on a parade ground than on the battle field. They spent several years along the Periphery border and underwent a tough training regimen which at least instilled basic military competency.

A tradition of the Second was that every soldier was issued a white horse, and was responsible for learning how to ride, groom, and care for the animal. The need to move over one hundred horses added to the unit's logistical burden.[1]

First Succession War

During the First Succession War the Second fought the Free Worlds League Military's invasion of the Sarna Commonality. They were highly effective in this role, and forced the FWLM to use nuclear weapons to destroy them.[2]

Reformation

The Second Liao Guards were reformed sometime before Operation GREAT FLOOD as one of the Hidden Lion regiments resurrected by Chancellor Daoshen Liao using stockpiled equipment.[2] The new Liao Guards used the Augmented Regiment formations commonly found in the CCAF by 3145.[3] They were a front-line regiment of the Tikonov Commonality.[4]

Operation GREAT FLOOD

During Operation GREAT FLOOD, the Second Liao Guards landed on Styk, New Canton, and Zion after other CCAF regiments captured the planets. They then hunted down the remaining RAF stragglers and pacified the worlds. They later served as the garrison for the planet Liao soon after its capture and received a victory parade in Cynthiana from an elated public.[2]

Operation CELESTIAL REWARD

The only Liao Guards regiment to participate in Operation CELESTIAL REWARD. The Second Liao Guards were assigned to capture several former ROTS worlds annexed by the Federated Suns.[2] Victorious against the usually ad hoc garrisons found on these planets, the Liao Guards were easily defeated by the defending Third Federated Suns Armored Cavalry on Rio. They would later return to capture the planet after the Third FSAC redeployed to counter the ongoing Draconis Combine invasion.[5]

Officers

The First Liao Guards were commanded by Sang-shao Elliot Liao-Subramanya in 3145.[6]

Tactics

3145

Lack of experience has made the First Liao Guards dependent on their numbers and technology to achieve victory.[2]
