The Imperial Antenoran Guard (IAG) is the main defensive unit on the planet of Antenora, in the Cocytus System, within the Scholae Palatinae dominion. This unit falls under the Cocytus System Defense Force, within the Imperial Scholae Guard of the Scholae Palatinae Military.
History
The Imperial Antenoran Guard was formed in the early days after Clan Scholae Palatinae came to the planet, as a way to maintain order for the Imperials in face of the tribes they met when they landed. In a show of force, under a less structured state as the Antenoran United Force, they were put to use to march on the Ognerate and pull the Dark Jedi into power on the planet. As Scholae Palatinae came to power in the system, the unit was left behind to maintain order and came to be stationed in Patz-Ah to recruit from some of the best trained and militant tribes on the planet and make use of the local resources.
Eventually, as the Imperial Scholae Guard became more formalized, the military itself went through a period of Imperialization that would see the unit come to it's current name as the Imperial Antenoran Guard in alignment with other planetary defensive units and pulled under the umbrella of the Cocytus System Defense Force. There was some resistance to the change at first, given the pride of the unit and the tribe mentality that surrounded it, but the support given from other units and benefits of being under the protection of the entire Scholae Palatinae military was a welcome change to most, and the elite training and resources quickly converted even the strongest opponents.
Deployment & Garrison
With the Antenoran Militia, under the command of the Imperial Scholae Intelligence stationed all over the planet of Antenora, the 20th Legion is stationed near the city of Patz-Ah. This city is a powerful bastion against any ground attacks, with adequate connections to other parts of the planet. Should there be an attack on the planet and aerial vehicles are unavailable, the Legion should have only minor difficulty reacting to the situation.
The 2nd Tactical Squadron is stationed at Patz-Ah as well, in the sizeable spaceport located there. This allows them repair berths, and security, as well as an easy launch and land system.
The 20th Legion is an infantry formation, tasked with the protection of the planet of Antenora and her strategic locations, as well as the overall protection of the Cocytus System.
Structure
The Antenoran Guard consists of the 20th Legion, an infantry legion attached to the Legions of Scholae Palatinae, and the 2nd Tactical Squadron. While the Antenoran Militia is expected to police the civilians and quell any riots or civil unrest, the 20th Legion is expected to fight off any aggressive attacker which is threatening Antenora or its neighboring planets.
The 2nd Tactical Squadron, 12 Low Altitude Air Transports/infantry, is designated to transport troops across the planet, to complete missions, or to transport wounded to hospitals.
