Custodian's Sword

The Custodian's Sword, also known as the Myriad, the Legion and formally known as the 1st Infantry division was a Terran military unit which existed at the time of the Unification Wars. The unit was created within the first month of the Custodian's reign. They were hand picked from the elite forces of every nation making up the European Federation. It was much smaller than a regular division, being made up of a single brigade. The Custodian reviewed and approved himself the dossier of every admitted candidate of the division. The unit was deployed on several occasions, during the Chinese campaign, the American pacification and the African campaign, never suffering a single defeat.
Over the 40 years the unit was deployed, it only suffered two hundred casualties. The unit was initially meant to be permanent, but was disbanded with the death of the Custodian according to his wishes. The unit has achieved legendary status in the Terran military, and over a hundred Terran navy ships have been named after its nicknames. The unit laid the groundwork for what would eventually become Special Designation Unit. The unit was re-established as an SDU in 2177 as the 1st Infantry division.
