==History==
 
==History==
When [[Connor Sortek]] decided to follow [[Devlin Stone]] and his ideals, still feeling betrayed by the Davions after the [[1st Davion Guards|First Davion Guards]] were devastated in the [[FedCom Civil War]], portions of the First followed along. Most of their descendants became the core of [[Aaron Sandoval (32nd c.)|Aaron Sandoval]]'s personal Honor Guard, and most looked back longingly on old First Davion Guards glory. [[Justin Sortek]], Connor's son, was among them, coming into command of the unit by [[3132]].<ref name=ED:DAp21>''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 21: "Davion Guards"</ref><ref name=FDSwordsworn>''Swordsworn'' Faction Dossier</ref>

When [[Conner Sortek]] followed [[Devlin Stone]] and joined the [[Republic of the Sphere]], he brought with him elements
 +
of the [[First Davion Guards]], who were mostly folded into the developing [[RAF]] line brigades.  
 +
 
 +
The descendants of these soldiers now follow [[Aaron Sandoval (32nd c.)|Aaron Sandoval]], and the spirit of the [[Federated Suns]] in the [[Dark Age]]s trying times.
 +
 
 +
The unit was originally the [[Duke]]'s Honor Guard, but with the fall of the [[HPG]] Network in 3132 Conner's son Justin, renamed the unit the Davion Guards.
 +
 
 +
The unit received the lion's share of equipment and support from Sandoval's personal fortune and profess the same loyalty to [[House Davion]] as their leader.<ref name=ED:DAp21>''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 21 "Davion Guards"</ref>
 +

The unit's motto is ''Strength of House Davion''.
  
In the wake of the 3132 [[Blackout]], as Aaron Sandoval declared for [[House Davion]], Justin renamed the unit the Davion Guards. Sandoval provided it the most support of all of his units, equipment paid for with his personal treasury.<ref name=ED:DAp21/><ref name=FDSwordsworn/>

* The original Dossier for the Swordsworn's Davion Guards listed the unit as being Elite instead of its ''Era Digest: Dark Age'' green skill rating. It is not clear whether this was intentional; the change has been reported for errata.
