History
Operation Revival
The First Guards fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:
Wave One
- Almunge - The Almunge Cadet Infantry Battalion faced off against Alpha Battle Star of Trinary Battle fighting hard for every inch of ground. The Cadets managed to destroy one 'Mech, and severely damage two others before surrendering. The survivors were made bondsmen.[1][2]
Wave Three
- Albiero - The Guards landed at Dartson ridge and were immediately attack by the 8th Albiero Militia trapping them with artillery strikes until Trinary Strike broke out and eliminated the artillery unit. When the Militias command unit was ambushed and destroyed the regiment broke and fled into the hills, some forming guerilla units. [3]
Wave Five
- Luthien - The Guards participated in the Battle of Luthien when they landed on the Tairakana Plains, almost immediately their defenses were probed by DCMS scout forces. Within two hours and suffering under air attacks they were advancing towards three Kurita regiments drawn up on the shores of Basin Lake. As the Guards pushed the attack they found themselves trapped in a vibrobomb minefield amidst exploding Q-Mechs. In the chaos the real Kurita Units attacked forcing the clan unit to fall back. It regrouped and smashed through the defenders line pushing for the Capital city, but were eventually worn down and forced to withdraw. [4] [5]
- Tarazed - Trinary Assault and Trinary Battle launched a ferocious assault against the defending 7th and 13th Tarazed Armour Regiments swiftly defeating them. [6]
Tukayyid
The Guards landed in the Racice Delta and quickly became bogged down. The swamps of the Delta proved excellent defensive grounds hiding ComStar 'Mechs and booby-traps. After three days fighting saKhan Weaver was killed and Beta Galaxy ordered to retreat by ilKhan Ulric Kerensky. [7]
Post Tukayyid
The Guards were stationed on Avon within easy striking distance of the Draconis Combine border. [8]
Operation Bulldog
Wave Two
- Avon - The Second Star League attacked Clan Nova Cat before turning its attention against the unprepared Guards. Seeing collusion between the Cats and the Inner Sphere forces they fought a defensive withdrawal and retreated to Outer Volta. [9]
Wave Three
- Outer Volta - The Guards had sent their naval and transport assets to support the 267th Battle Clusters' assault on Meinacos leaving them trapped on the planet. Here they were attacked by the 8th Sword of Light, 39th Division (ComStar) and Izanagi Warriors; surrounded and wiped out. [10]
Officers
- Star Colonel Blaine Radick 30??-3052.
- Star Colonel Terrance Stiles 305?-3059.
- Star Captain Mikhail Ward 3052-3052. [11]
- Star Captain Glen Osis - Trinary Command 30??-3059.
- Star Captain Anthony Chrisholm 3049-3059 - Trinary Battle. He piloted an Adder. [12]
- Star Captain Del Bowen 30??-3059 - Trinary Striker.
- Star Captain Dewen Showers 30??-3059 - Binary Elemental.
- Star Captain Monasa Chrisholm 30??-3059 - Trinary Assault. [13]
- Star Commander Jon Kotare 30??-3059 - Striker Alpha, Trinary Striker. [14]

During Operation Revival the Guards appear to have favored frontal assault tactics employing heavy and assault 'Mechs.
