Grayson Space Guard

The Grayson Space Guard, or GSG, was the first space force of the Protectorate of Grayson.
Created in 1386 PD, the GSG was envisioned more as a civilian law enforcement and search and rescue organization than a military force, armed with a modest force of small, lightly armed patrol craft and a handful of long-ranged cutters, a reaction-powered equivalent of light attack craft.
The GSG was never sufficiently well-funded or large enough to perform its various missions, but it succeeded in those mission regardless, establishing a tradition of resourcefulness and adaptive innovation.
In 1422 PD, after thirty-five years of police and SAR duties, the first combat duty of the GSG occurred when it supported Benjamin the Great's forces by launching kinetic strikes against the Army of the Faithful in the Grayson Civil War.
In 1672 PD, the GSG truly came into his own in the First Masadan War when it defeated the first Masadan attack on the Yeltsin's Star System. In recognition of its victory, the GSG was transformed into the Grayson Space Navy by Protector Adrian on November 1, 1675 PD. ()Category:Grayson Military
