History

The Sian Dragoons were formed when the first battalion of WAM-B BattleMechs were assigned to support armor regiments. As the BattleMech began to dominate the batlefield, the Dragoons increased their size until they were one of the largest CCAF commands. During the Age of War they were frequently seen on multiple battlefields, but other regiments were often flashier and the Dragoons' contributions were overlooked. With the formation of the SLDF, most of the Sian Dragoons units were disbanded, but some were re-created in 2765.[1]

As part of the "Hidden Lion" initiative, Chancellor Daoshen Liao recreated the Sian Dragoons. They were first seen in combat during Operation GREAT FLOOD. The Strategios used the Sian Dragoons, broken down into battalion sized formations, as part of a large misdirection project. During the early part of GREAT FLOOD, the RAF was fooled into thinking that there were twelve regiments of Sian Dragoons. The Republic's intelligence service was able to correct this misconception in 3135 and discovered that there were only four active Dragoon regiments.[2]

Succession Wars

Little is known of the Brigade's actions during the Succession Wars other than that they no longer existed by the end of the 3rd Succession War.[2]

Reformation

The Liao Guards brigade was reformed sometime between 3113 and 3134 as one of the Hidden Lion brigades resurrected by Chancellor Daoshen Liao using stockpiled equipment.[3] The new Liao Guards used the Augmented Regiment formations commonly found in the CCAF by 3145.[4] They were the front-line regiments of the Tikonov Commonality.[5]

Operation GREAT FLOOD

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.[3]

Operation CELESTIAL REWARD

Most of the Liao Guards spent Operation CELESTIAL REWARD garrisoning worlds captured from the ROTS. Only the 1st Liao Guards saw action against the AFFS during this time.[3]
