From their founding, the '''1st Royal Guards''' were the personal bodyguards of the Archon of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and [[Lyran Alliance]].  After the destruction of the [[Fourth Royal Guards|4th Royal Guards]], the 1st became (at least nominally) the personal command of the [[Archon]].  Throughout much of its history, the 1st has been deployed on [[Tharkad]], protecting the [[Tharkad#The Triad|Triad]] itself.<ref name=FMLAp95>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 95: "1st Royal Guards Unit Profile"</ref>

In early [[2506]] for example the 1st deployed to [[Tamar]] at the close of the [[Lyran Civil War]]. Led by Archon Robert Steiner, the 1st pursued Duke Gilderoy and [[Margaret Olson]] into Tamar City.

In [[3022]] the 1st Royal Guards fought the Battle of Rigil Kentarus. The battle began as a joint exercise between the LCAF unit and Marshal Ran Felsner to work out joint [[AFFS]]/[[LCAF]] tactics. However, the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] sent in large numbers of troops and the joint LCAF/AFFS forces were hard pressed to prevent the fall of the planet. They prevailed however, and Rigil Kentarus remained free of the Dragon.<ref>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 189</ref>

The 1st and the mercenary unit [[Barrett's Fusiliers]] were deployed to the [[Isle of Skye]] during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Both commands acted as mobile reserves. When the [[Fourth Proserpina Hussars|4th Proserpina Hussars]] successfully invaded the Lyran world of [[La Blon]] during the Lull, both units were dispatched to counterattack during [[Operation HOLDUR]]. The First caught the 4th Hussars totally off-guard and captured two strategically important forts. Consequently, the Proserpina Hussars faded away from the Lyran units. At first, the Royal Guards unsuccessfully tried to hunt down the [[DCMS]] unit. When the Hussars intercepted a message from the CO of Royal Guards that indicated the bulk of his units had moved out of one of the forts to engage the Hussars, they attacked. However, the message was a trap by the Steiner forces. When the Hussars attacked, the fort was defended by the entire force of the 1st Royals. The Hussars took grievous damage fighting what they believed to be a token force. After four hours, the few surviving lances of Hussars, retreated only to be ambushed by Barrett's Fusiliers.<ref name="FM:MRp42">''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'', p. 42: "Barrett's Fusiliers: The Light Musketeers"</ref>

After the liberation of [[La Blon]], both units dropped on [[Dromini VI]]. Though the suicidal attack of the [[Tenth Lyran Guards|10th Lyran Guards]] damaged many of the [[JumpShip]]s and destroyed many of the supplies needed for [[Theodore Kurita]]'s [[Operation CONTAGION]], the planet was still crowded with Kurita units, including both surviving [[Legion of Vega]] regiments, as well as elements of the [[Benjamin Regulars]] and the [[Dieron Regulars]]. Though the Lyran units were outnumbered by the Combine forces, they harassed the DCMS units. Theodore Kurita realized that Lyran reinforcements would likely arrive soon and that he and his forces would be trapped behind enemy lines with little chance to survive. Consequently, he ordered his units to retreat off-planet. When the 1st Royals realized the retreat of the Kurita units, they attacked the [[Seventeenth Benjamin Regulars|17th Benjamin Regulars]]. Both units took heavy losses, but the 17th lost most, more than a [[battalion]] of 'Mechs.<ref name="FM:MRp42"/>

Due to the severe damage the unit suffered during the FedCom Civil War, the [[Jihad]] the 1st Royal Guards and their sister unit, the [[Second Royal Guards|2nd Royal Guards]] fell apart during the attack of the Word of Blake forces. The Archon, [[Peter Steiner-Davion]], referred to anyone who fought in the [[Tharkad]] resistance as a "Royal Guard" despite being the only living member of the unit on several occasions.<ref name="jtpt6">''Jihad Turning Points: Tharkad'', p. 6</ref> After the Blakists were driven off of Tharkad, the First Royal Guards were rebuilt by adding a battalion of troops from the [[Alekseyevka TTM]] and [[Florida TTM]].

In June [[3083]] the 1st Royal Guards were deployed to [[Inarcs]] to arrest Duchess LaRue for treason. The 1st Royal Guards arrived with the [[Second Bolan Guards|2nd Bolan Guards]] LCT and quickly landed on the world. The Royal Guards quickly marched on Utopia, the capital city, and surrounded the [[Blackstone Highlanders]] with their armor. The Guards' 'Mech and [[battle armor]] forces quickly smashed the Highlander positions and forced them to surrender.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 104</ref> The 1st Royal Guards then accompanied Duchess LaRue to Tharkad, where she stood trial for treason.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 95</ref>

The 1st Royal Guards were ordered not to attack Duke Brewer while he was "Acting Archon", but despite this the 1st belief that it failed to protect Archon Melissa Steiner from Brewer's coup. The new Archon, [[Trillian Steiner]], did not hold this "failure" against them, but the 1st began drilling constantly in bodyguard duties to insure that they would never fail again. The 1st also faced several Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf units when they attacked Tharkad, and gained valuable experience.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 124</ref>
