UNIT PROFILES: Avellar Guards

 THE AVELLAR GUARDS

The Avellar Guards is the elite BattleMech unit of Outworlds Alliance and the only one to deploy Heavy and Assault Mechs, most of them relics from Star League era, forming two full-strength battalions. The second battalion has a full lance of Urbanmechs dedicated to urban warfare. The infantry platoons are usually motorized and equipped with towed autocannons.

The Guards spend most of the time in the capital (Alpheratz) and are seldom deployed elsewhere.
