(page 97 HSSB)In 2529, Archon Craig Steiner had the ornate, synth-marble ceilings raised and the floors around the royal thrones strengthened. Workers also installed huge doors on either side of the throne. All was in readiness on October 23, the Archon's birthday. When all the guests had gathered for the celebration, Craig Steiner stunned them by commanding that the two huge doors be opened. Out marched two Griffin BattleMechs from the now defunct 5th Royal Guards to stand at either side of the grinning Archon on his throne. Since then, in addition to the normal contingent of armed guards, it has become a tradition that two Griffins from the Archon's favorite unit stand guard in the Throne Room.
My memory ain't what it used to be. Covid? Age? Both??Anyway as I fuzzily remember it that the 5th was nicknamed the Pride of the Archon. It was staffed by retired members of the active combat commands. Yes, these living legends help screen new members.Maybe it was a fanatic? If you have any info please let me know. Thanks!
