Character Profile
Affiliation 12th Star Guards
Rank General[1]

Mitch DeChavilier was the commanding officer of the Twelfth Star Guards from at least 3025 to 3050.

History[edit]

Mitch DeChavilier was aware of his unit's past glory and used it to take advantage of the Lyran Commonwealth's resources and Archon Katrina Steiner's promises of generous pay by keeping the Star Guards in their employ from their resigning in 3024 through to the Clan Invasion. Not unrelated was his particular grudge against the Draconis Combine and Federated Suns, both of whom had betrayed and shortchanged them during the Third Succession War, costing them three of their seven regiments.[2]

In 3025, DeChavilier lead the Third Regiment which was stationed on Lyons.[3] At some point, he stepped down from that role and Hannah Caitlin's father commanded the Third until eventually passing it to her in 3042.[4]

In 3038, DeChavilier chose Charles Carranza as his executive officer. Due to Carranza's charisma, cunning, and family's long history with the Star Guards, he was easily accepted by his peers, and when DeChavilier's health began to deteriorate, the unit was briefed that Carranza would be his successor.[1]
