Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The Citizens’ Honored was the second brigade formed from House Liao employed mercenary units approximately three months after McCarron's Armored Cavalry received the honor in 3060. [1]

The Citizen's Honored was built around the well-respected 4th Tau Ceti Rangers, with the 15th Dracon and Lockhardt's Ironsides joining them several months later.[1]

Laurel's Legion, a former Liao employed mercenary unit that served the Federated Commonwealth after their homeworld of Tigress was captured in the Fourth Succession War, was added later. The Legion responded to Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao's invitation for all expatriate Liao units to return home. This decision was supported by their home world despite the fact it remained in House Davion controlled space. [1]

Colors and Unit Insignia

The various component elements of the Citizens' Honored retained their own color schemes and insignia with one exception, as a reminder of their years of mercenary service two thin silver lines symbolizing money are painted on a 'Mech's lower leg, AeroSpace Fighter wing, or rear quarter of a Combat Vehicle. Only those who served time as mercenaries feature the stripes while new, non-mercenary recruits, do not. [1]

The brigade's crest is tiger inside an inverted triangle of dadao swords, according to Han symbolism the beast signifies strength. [1]
