The '''Sigurd Guards''' were militia forces defending the world [[Sigurd]] of the [[Oberon Confederation]] as of [[3049]].<ref name=WCS057>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 57</ref> They had previously been named the '''Sigurd Defense Forces'''.<ref name=DaTR16>''Decision at Thunder Rift'', ch. 16</ref>

One notable sub-unit was the '''Sigurd Independent Light Assault Group''' (which Lori Kalmar came to join as a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]]). As of (or just prior to) [[3024]] this unit was under the direct command of warleader and Vice Regent Alisaden, who was also Sigurd's Defense Minister.

==History==
In ca. [[3017]],<ref>One year before Lori Kalmar, "almost nineteen standard years old" as of 3024, was thirteen standard years old (''Decision at Thunder Rift'', ch. 16)</ref> Sigurd was "forcibly convinced" to join the Oberon Confederation. A year later [[Lori Kalmar]], then a 13-year-old orphan from the conflict and a state ward, applied to the Sigurd Defense Forces. It was noted that the Oberon Confederation at the time did not have a centralized military; individual worlds reserved local militia units for themselves to create a feeling of greater sovereignty.<ref name=DaTR16/>

In September [[3049]], [[Clan Wolf]] invaded Sigurd. Most of the Sigurd Guards—at the time, two [['Mech]] companies and a regiment of mechanized infantry—surrendered without even a shot being fired.<ref name=WCS057/>

No local defense forces or militia were reported on Sigurd as of ca. [[3054]] (in fact the entire world is not listed in the force listings in ''[[Objective Raids]]'' although it does appear on the maps, suggesting it was considered undefended at the time), but this does not technically rule out the presence of defending forces.
