History
Its origins can be traced back to a legendary Vedran male warrior, General Huascar Nax Yoweri, whose campaign of conquest across the three Galaxies produced the Vedran Empire. The general's personal guard, lieutenants and other retainers and assistants formed the nucleus of the High Guard, which quickly grew to be the Empire's official military force.
Initially open to only male and female Vedran members, the High Guard admitted recruits from other races when enlistment began to decrease. This move was seen as the first step towards the Vedran Empire becoming the Systems Commonwealth.
