History
The Arcturan Guards brigade was originally founded as the Capitol Guards when the Lyran Commonwealth was founded as a nation in 2341, and the brigade changed its name to the Arcturan Guards sixty years later when the government of the Commonwealth was relocated from Arcturus to Tharkad. The Sixth Arcturan Guards would have been one of the nine founding units of the Guards, and like the other Guards units would have been named for a muse from ancient mythology, but the Sixth had evidently either become a casualty of the Age of War or had been deactivated as a command during the Star League era.[1]
The Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces recruited the remnants of the 236th Mechanized Infantry Division in 2782.[2] A former Star League Defense Force command, the 236th had been a part of XLIX Corps[3] within the Eleventh Army,[2][3] but were redesignated as the Sixth Arcturan Guards when they joined the LCAF.[2]
