History
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 Marsten-Calderon. The unit held their peace prior to the formation of the Calderon Protectorate, hoping that the Concordat would view them as "loyal opposition" rather than traitors.[1]
After the formation of the Calderon Protectorate the Second was split up and used to garrison Lastpost, Oscar, and Dilk.[2] During the early Jihad they spent time conducting probing attacks on the Taurian 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.[3]
Like their sister regiment (the 1st 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.[4] They remained on Oscar and Lastpost in 3085 protecting both worlds against pirate assaults.[5]
Officers
As of 3064 the commanding officer of the unit is Colonel Julian. Brigadier Marra Westin is the Second's true tactical genius however.[1]

As of 3085 the commanding officer was Colonel August Sims.[5]
