1st Guards Division "Elroyan"

The 1st Guards Division Elroyan was the first division of the Angkal Revolutionary Guard to be created. The unit began as a bodyguard unit for Mikaiya Ridion and was originally comprised entirely of former members of the Angkal Royal Guard. It quickly grew in size and eventually became a full division.

Origin
The origin of the 1st Guards Division can be traced back to the soldiers tasked with guarding the Angkalian Royal Family.

Many historians consider this to be the beginning of the war.

Invasion of the Buffer Zone

Although the division's only objective was securing the immediate area of the landing zone in order to provide safe passage to Angkal forces, it went beyond its orders and managed to capture more than a thousand Calinan prisoners of war. After a brief period of inactivity the division began making deep advances into territory held by the Free State of Wors. Taking advantage of the confusion the Angkal invasion caused, Elroyan was able to overwhelm enemy forces and captured another 2,500 prisoners of war.
