The '''Second Taurian Pride''' was the second regiment of the [[TDF]] assigned to the VI Corps.
 
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
Founded originally as the '''Protector's Pride''' regiment, the Second Taurian Pride was the first regiment to support Marshal Kithron's call for Protector Grover Shraplen to act as a regent for Erik Martens-Calderon. The unit held their peace prior to the formation of the [[Calderon Protectorate]], hoping that the [[Taurian Concordat]] would view them as "loyal opposition" rather than traitors.<ref name=FMP68/>

After the formation of the Calderon Protectorate the Second was split up and used to garrison [[Lastpost]], [[Oscar]], and [[Diik]].<ref name=FMU203/> In February [[3067]] the Protector's Pride [[battalion]] of the Second was stationed on [[Gaul]], clashing with the Concordat [[V Corps (Taurian Concordat)|V Corps]]. Both V Corps and the Second Taurian Pride had supporting mercenary forces; V Corps was being supported by [[Gordon's Armored Cavalry]], while the Second was being supported by [[Lennox's Light Horse]]. An ambush stages by the Light Horse in mid-to-late February resulted in the death of [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Amanda Revin]], the commanding officer of V Corps.<ref name="TGR">''The Gulf of Reason''</ref>
 
 
 
During the early [[Jihad]] they spent time conducting probing attacks on the Concordat, but a spike in pirate raids forced them to stop the assaults. They spent the rest of the Jihad fighting the pirates, who were equipped with technology more advanced than was usually used by pirates. They were the garrison forces for Oscar and Lastpost in [[3079]].<ref>''Field Report: Periphery'', p. 13</ref>
 
 
 
Like their sister regiment (the [[First Taurian Pride]]) the Second was disgusted by the conduct of their former countrymen during the Taurian Concordat's invasion of the [[Federated Suns]]. The unit wished to punish the Taurians for their behavior, but the Protectorate couldn't afford to let them start a war with the Concordat.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 145</ref> They remained on Oscar and Lastpost in [[3085]] protecting both worlds against pirate assaults.<ref name=FM3085p151/>
 
 
 
===Dark Age===
 
In [[3105]] the [[Clean Kill]] mercenary unit arrived on [[Diik]] covertly. The defenders inflicted heavy losses on the mercenaries, but the arrival of the Second Taurian Pride was required to destroy the unit completely.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 4</ref> The Second later sent a battalion to participate in [[Operation TRIDENT]], a [[3129]] multistate effort to destroy the [[Tortuga Pirates]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 44</ref>
 
 
 
The Second Taurian Pride participated in several wargames with the [[First Davion Guards]] in [[3106]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 51</ref> The Second Taurian Pride was stationed on [[Mirfak]] in the [[3110]]s as relations between the Calderon Protectorate and Taurian Concordat soured. They were the first responders to any TDF force that attacked the Protectorate. At the same time they were frequently sent to the various independent systems that seceded from the Concordat during and after the Jihad, offering an invitation to join the Protectorate.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 197</ref> They were still based on Mirfak in 3145.<ref name=FM:3145p202/>
