History
Age of War
The original 3rd 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. Even while the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces were busy reclaiming worlds long lost to the Republic of the Sphere, the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns were also attempting to do the same. On the planets Kansu, Bharat, Hamal and even Chesterton, independence groups fought to keep their worlds free of Davion control. When House Liao finally reached their region of space in 3041, the Kansu Braves, Bharatiya Ganpats, Chesterton Long Rifles and Hamal Cossacks agreed to join the CCAF. These groups were soon reequipped from Capellan supply depots and assembled to become the Third Tikonov Guards.[1]
