The Leader Guard Corps was the division of the Imperial Guard[3] serving as personal bodyguards to the Great Garmillas Empire's supreme ruler, Abelt Desler.
All members of the Leader Guard Corps were female. Numerous Leader Guard Corps guards were stationed throughout the royal palace and accompanied Desler on off-world travels. They presented a decidedly non-threatening image under most circumstances by acting as personal servers and by affecting shy, giggly demeanors. In moments of danger to Desler, though, the pretense was dropped and they became confident and capable combatants.[4][5][6][1]
History[]
Leader Guard Corps guards cover Leader Desler as he steps aboard Yamato.
Following the fall of Desler's regime, a contingent of Leader Guard Corps guards escaped Garmillas with Desler to his flagship, Deusura II, during the Battle of the Imperial Capital,[7] and continued their regular duties after Desler's subsequent exile. As the Battle of the Galactic Theater Gate raged aboard the battleship Yamato two months later, a four-member team accompanied Desler onto the Earth vessel as he searched for the ship's captain. They were able to protect him from an attacking Yamato crew member, but they failed to notice a wounded Jirel who managed to injure Desler. The guards shot the Jirel dead in retaliation and escorted their leader back to the flagship. All of them were incapacitated or killed when Deusura II was destroyed.[1]
Notes[]
- As an all-female bodyguard assembled to protect a dictator, the Leader Guard Corps resemble the Amazonian Guard that served Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi until near the end of his regime.
