Template:New Content Template:Infobox Military Unit
The Sedran Colonial Guard is the primary military force of the remote human Outer Colony of Sedra. They are led by Colonel Randall Aiken. Many soldiers in the Sedran Colonial Guard are well-motivated and dedicated to the defense of their homeworld from both internal and external threats. They are able to maintain a vague semblance of order in the planet's dispersed population centers.[1] Many individuals serving in the Colonial Guard are also noted as being resentful and mistrustful of the UNSC and the Unified Earth Government.[2]
History
On February 7, 2556, a Sangheili Zealot set off a new bioweapon that targeted humans in Sedra City, resulting in the strange infection of numerous civilians, and some deaths. The Colonial Guard was forced to ally themselves with an Office of Naval Intelligence unit to stop the terrorists from obtaining more of the element used to make the bioweapon. It was discovered that the element originated from a fragment of the destroyed Installation 04 that had exited slipspace in orbit over a red giant star in a nearby system. A team consisting of seven Sedran Guard personnel, led by Colonel Randall Aiken, and ONI personnel travelled to the fragment in a D81-LRT Condor to capture the smugglers who mined the element for interrogation and then destroy the deposits with a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon.[3] Upon arriving at the Alpha Shard, the team discovered two smugglers—Arris Le and Haisal Wari—mining the element in a cave. After incapacitating the smugglers, the team prepared to return to the Condor for extraction. While two of the Sedrans were preparing the horses the smugglers were using for transportation, they were suddenly attacked and killed by a swarm of Lekgolo eels. While the Condor dropship was setting down, a large number of Lekgolo appeared and began to swarm over the Condor and it flew off erratically—now controlled by the Lekgolo. The Condor's Sedran pilot was likely killed as a result. As the Sedrans and ONI agents retreated, another Sedran was killed by the Lekgolo. Eventually, the surviving Sedrans and ONI agents were able to escape the Lekgolo worms.[4]

After the Human-Covenant War, Sedra's economic stability and the Sedran colonial government's close relationship with the UNSC in regards to military hardware acquisition allowed it to supply the Sedran Colonial Guard with relatively modern military hardware.[5] However, much of this hardware is still inferior to the technology and equipment used by the UNSC Defense Force.[1] In many cases, the Colonial Guard is forced to rely on outdated weapons and vehicles, such as the M40 pistol[6] and the D81-LRT Condor transport.[2][7] However, some of their equipment, including the BR85HB battle rifle, is up to the standard of the post-war UNSC.[3]
