The '''Republican Guards''' were a volunteer militia formed under [[Tara Campbell]]'s [[Northwind Highlanders|Highlanders]].<ref name=FDHighlanders/><ref name="EDDA"/>

==History==
===Dark Age===
The Republican Guards were formed in [[3132]], shortly after [[Tara Campbell]] became [[Republic of the Sphere#Prefectures|Prefect]] of [[Prefecture III]] in the wake of the [[Blackout]]. Desperate to shore up her prefecture's defenses, with many of the Prefecture's forces having joined the ranks of the warring splinter factions and with Tara's Highlanders spread thin, she put out an open call for recruits to fight for the [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s ideals. Many came to [[Northwind]] from across and beyond the Republic, dedicated and passionate but inexperienced.<ref name=FDHighlanders/><ref name="EDDA"/>

By October [[3133]], the Republican Guards had begun to coalesce into a cohesive unit, although still underdisciplined and underskilled.<ref name=TPIrianp11>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 11: "Highlanders, Republican Guard"</ref> The unit participated momentarily in the complex 3133 [[Battle of Irian (3133)|clash over]] [[Irian]], protecting a planetary supply convoy from the [[First Bannson's Raiders]] on 7 October before being ordered to leave the planet by Legate [[Ramon Martinez]]—their presence frustrated the local [[Irian Republic Standing Guard|Standing Guard]] and [[Irian Technologies]] security commanders alike.<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', pp. 8, 14</ref> The Republican Guards took many Republic-loyal Iriani with them on their way out.<ref name=TPIrianp11/>
