The Praetorian Guard is a special operations unit, protection of the Emperor of Scholae Palatinae and his Summit, as well as the defence of Judecca. They are located on the planet of Judecca, the seat of the Scholae Palatinae empire, in the Cocytus System. This unit falls under the juresdiction of the Legions of Scholae Palatinae but under the command of the Emperor.


History

The Praetorian Regiment was formed by the Scholae Palatinae clan summit under the orders of Consul Braecen Kaeth shortly before the beginning of the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion. Commanded initially by Xan Phraz-Etar Kaeth, the Praetorians were a specialized regiment of four thousand elite troops devoted to out of the ordinary assignments. The Praetorians were heavily trained, and filled the gap in skill between Dark Jedi and common soldier. Their large numbers made the individuals relatively expendable, and for this reason they were called upon in all manner of difficult tasks.

The Praetorians were called upon heavily during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion and the following Reclamation. The immense power of an armored Yuuzhan Vong warrior demanded such an exceptional level of skill and precision to take down, leaving the standard troopers of the Scholae Palatinae regiments powerless. The Praetorians were the only ones beside the Dark Jedi that could fight with any effectiveness. After intensive training following the Brotherhood’s loss in the first battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, the Praetorian Regiment returned even stronger in the Reclamation, and were instrumental in securing many key locations taken by the invaders.

After the Reclamation of Judecca, Xan resigned is command of the Regiment, and Lieutenant General Impetus M'Nar was chosen for the job. During her tenure, the Regiment was reorganized, as she felt that four legions of 1000 troops didn’t fit the job of a black ops unit. The unit took up Special Operations as a whole, organized into divisions based on specialty, from espionage to assassinations, making it easier to find the right man for the job. The success of this new organization was difficult to gauge, given that shortly after Impetus inherited command, Clan Scholae Palatinae entered a rare era of peace before her departure from the clan to study in Plagueis. Fearing for the safety of her divisional commanders from persecution from the Clan Summit, Impetus disbanded her divisions before she left, spreading their leaders across the Galaxy.

After Impetus’ absence, Korvyn Elvendar was given control of the Unit, and the divisions founded by Impetus were abandoned in favour of the same setup the other Regiments used: four legions comprised of 1000 troops. The Praetorian Regiment returned to what it once was, a regiment with the standard CSP organization, only comprised of purely the most talented soldiers the Clan’s Military.

As Thran Occasus, the Consul at the time, became more and more paranoid, he commissioned Field Marshal Dante to replace the Praetorian Regiment with a cloned force that was programmed to be fanatically loyal to the Emperor.

Shortly after the downsize of Clan Scholae Palatinae into a house, it became apparent that there simply wasn’t enough resources to support such a large military force and cuts were made house-wide. The newly created Praetorian Guard would be formed formed of clone troopers who loyal only to the Emperor.
