Shock Trooper Guardsmen, often referred just as The Guardsmen, was a security, safeguarding and special assault unit of the Eclipse Army under the command of a Warden Commander and Army Command. The division was informally considered a prison guard unit as it name implies, Guardsmen. The Division is also the security forces of the Galactic Council of Alliances.
During the Eclipse Civil War, the Raiders of the Eclipse navy had done a surprise attack on the prison world somewhere within the designated Wild Space Region I which involved most of the Guardsmen forces to be called in to defend the prison facilities on the surface of the planet.
During the Sol Civil War, the Guardsmen were called to defend Galactic Council buildings and installations across the Sol System.
Following the end of the Human-Alien Conflict, all Shock Troopers of the Guardsmen were ordered to only remain at every Galactic Council installation at all costs by President John Barstow.
