==History==
When the [[Bad Dream]] mercenary unit collapsed due to insolvency in [[3080]], it sold its remaining BattleMechs to the [[Rim Commonality]] in order to pay off its existing debts. While the Rim Commonality initially planned to stockpile these machines for emergency use, it was eventually decided to use them to create a new [[Battalion|battalion]] of the [[Rim Commonality Guards]] when the Commonality realized it needed to create its own defense force. Command of the new Second Rim Commonality Guards was given to former [[Chaos Irregulars]] co-commander [[Ariel Peregrine-Simson]], who happily accepted the proffered job.<ref name=FM:3085p88>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 88: "Second Rim Commonality Guard"</ref>

Composed of new recruits, former Bad Dream soldiers, and an assortment of other mercenaries, the Second Rim Commonality Guard struggled to achieve the same kind of coordination its [[First Rim Commonality Guard|sister regiment]] was known for. ''[[Albay]]'' Peregrine-Simson decided to instead focus the unit's efforts on basic discipline and teamwork under fire.<ref name=FM:3085p88/>
