History
The Liao Guards were the original army for the Republic of Liao. Growing from their roots as two armor and infantry regiments, over time the Guards became a parade unit. By the time Warex Liao was named Chancellor the Liao Guards were useless from a military perspective, with their equipment's missile launchers replaced by fireworks launchers. During an inspection of the Liao Guards, criminals attempted to kidnap the Chancellor's cousin. The local police force captured the culprits while officers and troops of the Liao Guard hid in cover.
Chancellor Warex Liao relieved all the Liao Guards officers and sent the Liao Guards units on an eight year tour of the Periphery. This eliminated pirates along the Confederation's border and allowed the Guards to survive their grueling training regimen. After eight years, most of the incompetents were gone, and the Guards regiments were significantly more skilled.[1]
The Liao Guards sold themselves dearly in the First Succession War. Stationed in the Sarna Commonality they faced off against the Free Worlds League Military and fought them to a standstill. Eventually the FWLM used nuclear weapons to destroy the Liao Guards.[2]
The Guards would be absent from the CCAF's rolls for the next three centuries. However Daoshen Liao created the "Hidden Lion" initiative, which created several units hidden from the Republic of the Sphere. The Liao Guards were one such unit. Their brigade participated in Operation GREAT FLOOD, securing rear areas for the more experienced CCAF front line forces. They were more than a show unit, however, as each Guards unit had to deal with local insurrections of pro-Republic and anti-Liao forces.[2]
