History

Operation Revival

The Falcon Guards were one of the premier units in the Jade Falcon Touman at the beginning of the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere.

In 3050, the Guards were single-handedly destroyed at the battle of the Great Gash on Twycross by Kai Allard-Liao. The magnitude of the defeat was so great that the Guards were disgraced.

After Twycross, the Falcon Guards were slowly rebuilt and command was given to Aidan Pryde, the Khans viewing it appropriate to give a dezgra Cluster to a disgraced Star Colonel. The Falcon Guards regained a great deal of their prestige under Pryde's command on Tukayyid when they held off the advancing ComGuard, allowing many Falcon warriors to escape that would otherwise have been killed or captured. Following Tukayyid, the Falcon Guards were nicknamed "Pryde's Pride".

Being considered a prestige unit, only elite warriors were assigned to the Falcon Guards. But after the heavy losses on Tukayyid most remaining elite and veteran warriors were freeborns. In later years, mainly warriors fresh from the sibkos were assigned to the Falcon Guards.

Hegira War

The Falcon Guards also fought against the Steel Vipers in 3061. The Steel Viper Warrior caste has a strong distaste for freeborns even by the standards of Clan trueborns in general, and tried to wipe out the Falcon Guards, with their heavy contingent of freeborn warriors. However, the Falcon Guards proved to be a tough opponent, even for the elite Triash Keshik. Though they were outmatched, the freeborn Star Commander Diana Pryde managed to destroy the mech of Khan Perigard Zalman. Upon seeing this, the rest of the Steel Vipers fled. For this action, Pryde was promoted to the rank of Star Captain.

Operation Audacity

In 3064 a Trinary of the Falcon Guards was stationed on Twycross as an honor guard. Archer Christifori knew that defeating this unit on this planet would enrage a host of other Jade Falcon units enough to leave their positions and hunt him down, thus taking pressure off the Lyran Alliance. He attacked that Trinary, which accidentally broke zellbrigen. Several Clusters, including the rest of the Falcon Guards, attacked Christifori's combat group, but were defeated as reinforcements arrived. Star Captain Diana Pryde was among the few survivors.

Several months later, Diana Pryde was promoted to Star Colonel and commander of the Falcon Guards, which were scheduled for rebuild.


In March 3072 the Falcon Guards were part of a Jade Falcon force comprised of Alpha and Gamma Galaxies that attacked Vantaa. The Falcon Guards were destroyed as a unit fighting against Clan Ice Hellion's Alpha and Zeta Prime Galaxies, but the Jade Falcon forces won the battle.

Officers

As of 3064 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Diana Pryde. She replaced Star Colonel Ravill Pryde who was killed on Twycross.
