−	Formed in [[3084]] at the same time as [[The Republic of the Sphere]], the Principes Guards are the unsung heroes of the Republic Armed Forces.

Each unit consisted of two BattleMech battalions, two armor regiments, three infantry regiments, and a company of artillery and AeroSpace Fighter support.<ref name=fm85-181/> Like all units in the Republic Armed Forces, the Principes Guards consist of a combined armed regiment assigned to one of the Republic's Prefectures. The Principes Guards regiments are numbered by the Republic Prefecture where they serve. The original ten Guards regiments are: * [[I Principes Guards]] * [[II Principes Guards]] * [[III Principes Guards]] * [[IV Principes Guards]] * [[V Principes Guards]] * [[VI Principes Guards]] * [[VII Principes Guards]] * [[VIII Principes Guards]] * [[IX Principes Guards]] * [[X Principes Guards]] The following regiments were formed inside the walls of Fortress Republic: * [[XI Principes Guards]] * [[XII Principes Guards]] * [[XIII Principes Guards]] * [[XIV Principes Guards]] * [[XV Principes Guards]] ==Notes== How the Guards reacted to [[Jonah Levin|Jonah Levin's]] activation of the [[Fortress Republic]] plan isn't known. Given their strong ties to the worlds where they're deployed, it's likely they chose to remain on station, much like the [[Eridani Light Horse]] did when [[Aleksandr Kerensky|General Kerensky]] called for the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]]. ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== *''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' *''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' [[Category: Republic of the Sphere Commands|Principes Guards]]
