With the Rai’ix Chume’s coronation ceremony only days away, preparations have been underway to prepare the Royal Court and the Fountain Palace for his arrival.
Atlas Troop Transport Shuttles arrived in Chume’Dan’s palace complex today carrying soldiers from the old Draconian Guard units from Arxian, the new King’s home system. Coming changes to the Royal Guard were announced a few weeks back and it has now become clear that the old Phoenix Guard will be largely absorbed in the Draconian Guard, which has taken the name “Chume’doro”, a name dating back to Age of Queen-Mothers.
The Phoenix Guard was originally created as the new Royal Guard upon King Andrew’s coronation in 4000 when he took the name “the Phoenix King”, and was made up primarily of veterans of the Phoenix Movement’s military that emerged victorious in the Hapan Civil War. The Draconian Guard, on the other hand, has been in existence since 3946 when it was formed to protect Princess Da’tan of the Pal’durath dynasty and the Tarii nobles of the Draconian Union. Since that time, it has been made up of elite soldiers from Arxian Minor and Major, and later also Selab. The Fountain Palace has announced that despite the Phoenix Guard and Draconian Guard merging, a division within the Chume’doro entitled “Phoenix Guard” will still be assigned to protect King James of Rii.
Furthermore, it has been announced that the Rai’ix Chume’s daughter, Princess Tara Tylger, will be the new commanding officer of the Chume’doro. One of the six Tetrarchs of House Tylger, the Princess has had a long career devoted to security and defense. Her career started in the New Anzat Order where she was the commanding officer of the Anzati naval forces, followed by a career with Black Sun as bodyguard to two of the syndicate’s leaders before her own eventual rise to leadership. After a brief disappearance from the public eye four years ago, she reemerged as the leader and owner of a prestigious security and mercenary organization known as the Damned, which eventually disbanded last year. Prior to becoming part of the Hapes, the Princess had varying degrees of involvement with the Consortium, owning Endara Reclaim Indsturies for a number of years, supplying specialized weaponry for the Royal Hapan Armed Forces from Centurion Arms and being awarded the Medal of Thanks by King James for her aide in capturing a Hapan traitor on Nal Hutta during her stint as leader of the Black Sun syndicate.
The new Chume’doro will have two primary divisions: The first is the Elite Guard consisting of ground forces tasked with the security in Chume’Dan, the Fountain Palace, and onboard the HRS Pal’durath. The other is the Naval Guard, a small task force of naval warships tasked with escorting the HRS Pal’durath on its journeys. So far only the Rai’ix Chume’s old Battle Dragon Xil Xaliah (Star of Blood) has been selected for the task force.
In a private ceremony held in the giant courtyard of the Fountain Palace after their arrival, the new Chume’doro gave the traditional induction oath in the presence of the new King: "Ereneda! You have no equal, and I have no life beyond you. My eyes, my hands, my heart, and my blade will kill and die in your service."
The Fountain Palace has informed the press that while the Chume’doro will be tasked primarily with the security of the Royal Court, they may also be deployed to high priority combat operations both within and outside the Hapes Cluster as the need arises.
