'''Rudy Pinada''' was the commanding officer of the [[Second Davion Guards]] during the [[War of 3039]].<ref name=H3039p88/>

==History==
[[Colonel]] Pinada, commanding the [[First Kestrel Grenadiers]], was stationed on [[Kestrel]] in 3025.<ref name=HB:HDp138>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 138 (PDF Version): "'Mech Unit Deployment Table"</ref>

By [[3039]], now-[[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] Pinada had been made commander of the Second Davion Guards and had been tasked with taking the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Altair]] during the latter half of the [[War of 3039]]. Unbeknownst to the Second Guards, Altair's primary defensive unit—the [[Eighteenth Dieron Regulars]]—had already departed the planet as part of a massive wave of Combine counterattacks, leaving only the planetary militia behind. After successfully taking the planet, Pinada received orders to return to the [[Federated Suns]] from [[Field Marshal]] [[Vanessa Bisla]]. Despite Pinada offering to retain control of Altair in order to launch future raids around and against [[Dieron]], Bisla confirmed the unit's relocation to [[Addicks]] by way of [[Caph]]—without informing the unit that its home planet [[Fomalhaut]] and the hundreds of thousands of Second Guards dependents and veterans who lived there had been captured by the Combine.<ref name=H3039p88/><ref name=H3039p87>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 87–88: "A Crime of Bureaucracy"</ref>
