Cohors Praetoria Taldryae
History
Original Cohors Praetoria Taldryae
The Cohors Praetoria Taldryae was the Consul's Honor Guard. Two of the most active members in Clan Taldryan served in the position for a one month term, and then new members were selected. The Praetorian added a crimson stripe to the right sleeve of their robe while serving, signifying that they serve Consul of Taldryan, and are instruments of his wishes. At least one of them accompanied the Consul in all his travels, while another could be found lurking in the Clan Headquarters, spying for the Consul. They are all given elite guard training upon their appointment, and are feared warriors.
While not an official Brotherhood position, the Praetorian were a much sought-after position within Clan Taldryan, because it identified the members as the best of the best. The more terms served in the Praetorian, the more likely it is that medals and promotions will follow. If someone wanted to be an extension of the Consul's they would need to be as active as possible, in competitions, on the Message Boards and on IRC, and in anything someone could do. Following the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion Consul Duga Taldrya Arkarso dissolved the guard and the Consul's Fist while announcing a new elite unit to come.
Revival
In 39 ABY, Consul Seraine "Erinyes" Taldrya Ténama deactivated the positions of Gatekeeper and Lorekeeper and re-established the Cohors Praetoria Taldryae to honour the most effective Taldryan operatives. As the Gatekeeper and Lorekeeper did, the Cohors will be granted use of the DP20 Frigate Retribution and the Raider II-class Corvette Penumbra when carrying out missions on behalf of the Consul.

The reformed Cohors replacing the titles of Gatekeeper (most active Taldryan gamer) and Lorekeeper (most active Taldryan writer), in an effort to reflect the diversity of activity amongst Taldryan members.
