At the same time, the fact that ComStar had to bring in external forces seems to suggest they had none of their own at the time. Lacking a true military at the time, ComStar hired some six regiments' worth of mercenary units in all haste in the unfolding crisis which was ultimately resolved by the threat of military action, namely the mercenary Bandersnatches , without a shot being fired.
The Bandersnatches were hired to form the core of the nascent ComStar Guards and Militia, though it is unclear if they served as trainers to frontline troops. Settling with five regiments' worth of full-time troops as part of a compromise with liberal elements on the First Circuit, Hollings York placed the new ComStar Guards and Militia under the shared control of the Primus and First Circuit.
Upon publicly announcing the formation of the branch to the stunned House Lords, York took great pains to convince them the ComStar Guards would be a light infantry force trained only for defensive purposes and stationed strictly on Terra. However, the large volume of funding required for York's dream drew heavy criticism from both members on the First Circuit such as Adrienne Sims and ROM, whose overall funding was reduced to pay for the Guards's expansion. While York would attempt to soothe tensions with Sims by naming her his successor as Primus, he increasingly antagonized the Order's intelligence agency, ultimately proposing in the spring of to formally disband ROM to a full gathering of all Precentors on Terra, with its intelligence-gathering and security role to be re-assigned to the ComStar Guards.
The ComStar Guards and Militia lost their patron two months after this history-making speech when Hollings York was assassinated at the corner-stone-laying ceremony for the refurbished Sandhurst Royal Military College. The fortunes of the ComStar Guards and Militia would improve under Sim's successor Yin Takami with the successful completion of their first combat action in during the so-called Tripitz Affair.
Takami ordering them to paint their equipment stark white to prevent any link to the Order, despite their lack of practical combat experience, the 1st's advanced Star League-era equipment allowed them to defeat the Taurian forces in under an hour with only three deaths, before obliterating the WarShip. Despite reservations in the First Circuit that an offensive response was against the neutrality professed by Jerome Blake , Takami countered that as long as the identity of ComStar's forces had been not discovered he had not breached the divine will of Blake.
The 1st's success earned them new respect from the Order and Primus Takami specifically, who authorized an expansion of the Militia's 'Mech element based on their actions.
Takami's order to paint ComStar Guard fighters white would later become the standard parade scheme for ComStar's military after their public unveiling. The ComStar Guards and Militia's next combat action in , though technically successful, was very nearly a disaster. ComStar's "Jolly Roger" plan was to provide material support to pirate bands operating along the Periphery borders of the Draconis Combine and Lyran Commonwealth , to inflame fighting between the two powers.
However, when the plan went sour after the pirates struck out on their own, Primus Allen Rusenstein dispatched the 1st Division's CO to negotiate with the renegades to bring them back into line. The meeting ended in bloodshed, killing pirate leader Darleen Dunson , and only made matters worse. Tracking the pirates to the unmapped world of Trisha eight jumps into the Periphery, the 1st fought against McGirk's band for the better part of three days.
While the 1st successfully completed their mission, the greater combat experience of the pirates gave them a 2. On the eve of the wedding of Hanse Davion and Melissa Steiner that would see the Fourth Succession War declared by the groom, Akira Brahe had come to the Hilton Head compound with the Draconis Combine delegation for the wedding and at one point began to explore the area alone.
He encountered ComStar Acolytes who he discovered wore cooling vests , and a tattoo was recognized as that of a periphery bandit group. His interest piqued, Akira Brahe infiltrated an underground facility and saw with his own eyes rows upon rows of ComStar BattleMechs.
Upon his return, guards would have killed him if not for the intervention of Morgan Kell and Jaime Wolf , who killed the attackers in turn. The men initially decided to keep their find secret. In May , when the Fifth Syrtis Fusiliers invaded the planet Sarna , the local Com Guard garrison had their 'Mechs repainted and modeled to match the Fusiliers' machines. Video footage of them destroying the HPG station was used as "proof" to place the Federated Suns under interdiction on 1 June Precentor Waterly pressed the First Circuit to approve a military raid to destroy the copy, which they did, and a battalion-sized volunteer group of fanatical ComStar MechWarriors was assembled.
Their machines were fashioned to look like those of the Capellan Confederation 's Death Commandos and they were provided with suicide pills to prevent capture; victory or death were the only allowable outcomes of the raid. While these operations were less than successful, the attack on the Sarna facility gave Myndo Waterly, newly-elected Primus after her predecessor had suffered a heart attack, sufficient pretext to announce the existence of the Com Guards to the public.
She would subsequently twist the arms of all other Successor States to similarly allow ComStar to maintain armed forces at the HPG stations in the states' territories all over the Inner Sphere. House Kurita was convinced in the lead-up to the War of where Waterly provided substantial clandestine aid in return, namely donating many BattleMechs and even some lostech to the weakened Draconis Combine so that the Federated Commonwealth would not steamroll them as they had done with the Capellan Confederation a year earlier.
In return, Theodore Kurita "gifted" a high-profile prisoner to Waterly who was thought dead in the Inner Sphere: Frederick Steiner , a military mastermind with exactly the skills and experience ComStar desperately lacked for the Com Guards. Steiner cooperated, and assumed the new identity of Anastasius Focht. Selected by Waterly to replace Nicholas Cassnew , Anastasius Focht was named Precentor ROM primarily to command the Com Guards, focusing the bulk of his attention on making a number of organization changes to the Guards as he began to take over from the mercenary commanders formerly directing the Com Guard deployment.
Precentor Martial Focht was kept busy as Primus Waterly set about adopting a carrot and stick approach to get the other Successor States to agree to accept Com Guard forces within their borders. The Capellan Confederation and the Lyran Commonwealth were much harder, but a agreement to waive a threatened 25 percent increase in transmission costs for Capellan HPG traffic and a unsanctioned "terrorist" action by the Free Skye movement, in return for Waterly's secret offer of favored-user status to the group, finally forced their hands in It was during the s that Focht would instigate sweeping changes to the deployment and organization of the Com Guards, assigning the component elements of each battalion, division and army to positions that would allow them rapidly reform into their larger functional units as required and further enhance their mix of infantry , Combat Vehicles and AeroSpace Fighters.
Cementing the combined arms focus of his troops via extensive training for any contingency both at Sandhurst Royal Military College and frequent training drills, Focht would also tour various worlds on which the Com Guards were stationed for two months every year. With the Guards now posted across the length and breadth of the Inner Sphere, Focht expanded on efforts to promote the Com Guards' neutral and pacifistic stance by deploying his troops to assist with relief efforts for natural disasters, hostage rescues, political unrest and search and rescue operations.
The most notable of these was Focht's deployments of the Com Guards to defend Periphery border worlds against pirate raiders, a propaganda boon and recruitment tool for the Order, with the public unaware that many were bandits who'd received a measure of support from ComStar during the Jolly Roger Affair. As of , Wolfnet estimated the Com Guards' BattleMech strength alone to represent the equivalent of more than fifty Regiments. Anastasius Focht struck a deal to fight a Trial of Possession for Terra on the backwater world of Tukayyid , pitting the elite of the Clan's invasion force against the entirety of the Com Guards - 72 divisions, equal to combined-arms regiments.
Their victory though bound the Clans to the Truce of Tukayyid and gave the Inner Sphere valuable time to find a solution to the Clans. In the aftermath of the battle of Tukayyid, the Com Guards were deployed extensively throughout the remnants of the Free Rasalhague Republic as a safeguard should the Clans break their truce.
Their recovery after Tukayyid however was slow to come: Operation Scorpion deteriorated severely ComStar's image, and after the death of Primus Mindo Waterly rumored to be at hands of Anastasius Focht , and the creation of the Word of Blake splinter group, at least four divisions of Com Guards defected to form the Word of Blake Militia.
