Tarain's Sword was formed at the founding of the Lilaste Order, intended from the start to be its primary frontline assault battalion. Hand-selected and forged under the direct leadership of Commander Julian Tarain, the battalion was created not just to serve as a shield for the Order, but as a sword to be wielded by Laphisto himself. Its soldiers were rigorously trained in aggressive forward assaults, breach-and-clear operations, and rapid planetary engagements, developing a reputation for unyielding determination and battlefield precision.
Their first major deployment came during the M'haeli Campaign, where they faced off against the Dusate Pirates. Tarain's Sword successfully assaulted and captured key mineral processing plants and pirate-held facilities, solidifying the Lilaste Order's control over the system. Their momentum carried forward into the Battle of Ropagi II, where they launched a direct assault on pirate command bunkers and fortified positions, leading to the decisive collapse of organized Dusate resistance.
Following these early successes, Tarain's Sword was contracted as mercenaries by the Empire of the Lost during the Mon Cala campaign. Here, they played a critical role in capturing submerged cities, fighting both underwater and across coral shelf fortifications to secure vital surface landing zones and strategic positions for the Empire's ground forces.
Later, during the Lothal Conflict, Tarain's Sword was again deployed under the Empire of the Lost, tasked with defending Lothal City against the Tingle Arm Coalition. Despite fierce resistance and initially holding defensive lines against overwhelming enemy reinforcements, the battalion was forced to enact its self-preservation clause. Realizing the battle was unwinnable without unsustainable losses, they conducted a disciplined withdrawal from Lothal City, preserving the battalion's core strength for future operations.
Most notably, Tarain's Sword was deployed to Serenno to participate in the Diarchy's offensive against Sith forces entrenched around the Verrinox Estate. During the battle, the Ash Dogs Company known for their stubborn resolve refused orders to fall back to the canyon to regroup. Instead, they chose to engage themselves directly into the brutal trench warfare developing around the estate. Fighting through intense Sith resistance, theyhelped to Assault the Sith trench lines adding ample support to the battlefield, turning what could have been a collapse into a hard-fought stand that allowed the Diarchy to maintain their position for much longer than they would have otherwise
Today, Tarain's Sword remains the personal assault battalion of Laphisto, leading spearhead operations, seizing critical ground objectives, and acting as the Lilaste Order's banner of strength and resilience across the galaxy.
