Boyd Truscott was the commanding officer of the 191st Adder Guards in 3059.[1][2]
History[edit]
In July 3074, the Star Adder Watch contacted Star Colonel Boyd Truscott of the 191st Adder Guards, alerting him of the Burrock Zeta Galaxy's plans to sow conflict between the Hell's Horses and the Ghost Bear Dominion by equipping themselves with Horses equipment taken from Nouveaux Paris and attacking a string of Ghost Bear worlds under false colors. Truscott passed the information to Galaxy Commander Unther Cooper, who passed it to the Ghost Bears in turn via the Horses' Khan. Given permission to intercept the Burrocks by the Ghost Bears, the Hell's Horses dispatched the Thirty-ninth BattleMech Cluster alongside the Fifth Assault Cluster and 191st Adder Guards to engage the Burrock raiders at Thule. Following the descending Burrock DropShips, the combined forces hot-dropped near the city of Accotink City—the main industrial city on Thule, located on the shores of Lake Accotink—and engaged the Burrock forces, while observed by a Ghost Bear Trinary of solahma warriors. As the battle spilled over into the city, the Ghost Bear patrol was destroyed by the Burrocks, but the Fifth Assault Cluster successfully destroyed the Second Burrock Cavaliers. The remaining two Burrock Clusters evaded the 191st and the Thirty-ninth, although the destruction inflicted on the city during the three-way battle included the newly-completed Miraborg manufacturing facility. Engaged in the air by Ghost Bear aerospace fighters and harried by the Adder and Hell's Horses ground forces, one of the two escaping DropShips was successfully destroyed.[1]
