The Arcturan Guards [[brigade]] was originally founded as the Capitol Guards when the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] was founded as a nation in [[2341]], and the brigade changed its name to the Arcturan Guards sixty years later when the government of the Commonwealth was relocated from [[Arcturus]] to [[Tharkad]]. The '''Seventh Arcturan Guards''' would have been one of the nine founding units of the Guards, and like the other Guards units would have been named for a muse from ancient mythology, but the Seventh had evidently either become a casualty of the [[Age of War]] or had been deactivated as a command during the [[Star League era]].<ref name="FM2765:LCp8">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', pp. 8–9: "Arcturan Guards"</ref>

* Based upon the detail available on the first nine regiments of the Arcturan Guards in ''[[Field Report 2765: LCAF]]'' the two regiments from the first founding of the Guards that had been destroyed or disbanded by 2765, the Sixth and Seventh Arcturan Guards, would most likely have been named for the [[w:Muse|Greek Muses]] [[w:Polyhymnia|Polyhymhnia]] and [[w:Urania|Urania]], although it is uncertain which regiment was named for which muse. Polyhymnia was the Muse associatd with sacred poetry, sacred hymn, dance, and eloquence as well as agriculture and pantomime while Urania was the Muse associated with astronomy.
