| The '''Sedran Colonial Guard''' ('''SCG'''), also known as the '''Sedra Marine Corps''', is the primary military force of the remote [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Sedra]]. They are led by [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Randall Aiken]], a former [[SPARTAN-II]]. 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.{{Ref/Reuse|wp scg}} | | The '''Sedran Colonial Guard''' is a group of [[Colonial Militia]] stationed on the remote [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Sedra]]. They are led by [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Randall Aiken]]. Many individuals serving in the Colonial Guard are noted as being resentful and mistrustful of the [[UNSC]] and the [[Unified Earth Government]].<ref name="youtube">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaZOLp6pYCE '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Nightfall Panel - SDCC 2014'']</ref> |

| ===Terrorist attack on Sedra===
| | At some point after the [[New Phoenix Incident]], the Colonial Guard was forced to ally themselves with an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[Locke's team|unit]] to stop a [[Sangheili]] [[terrorism|terrorist]] group from using a mysterious [[bioweapon]] that targeted humans.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/halo-nightfall '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo: Nightfall description'']</ref> However, a Sangheili was able to make his way to a mall in a Sedran city and set off the bioweapon. The weapon resulted in the strange infection of numerous civilians, and some deaths. It was eventually discovered that the bioweapon originated from a fragment of the destroyed [[Installation 04]] that had exited [[slipspace]] in orbit over a red giant star in a nearby system. Determined to investigate the Halo installation fragment, a team consisting of Sedran Guard and ONI personnel travelled to the fragment to destroy the deposits that were being harvested to create the bioweapon with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> The two organizations were forced to work together in order to accomplish their goals.<ref name="PAX">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGn4YXXZyDo '''YouTube''': ''Halo and the Journey of the Master Chief - PAX Prime 2014'']</ref> |
| {{Main|Terrorist attack on Sedra City}}
| |
| On [[2556|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]] [[Locke's team|unit]] to stop the [[terrorism|terrorists]] from obtaining more of the element used to make the bioweapon.

| ===Mission to Alpha Shard===
| |
| {{Main|Mission to Alpha Shard}}
| |
| It was discovered that the element originated from [[Alpha Shard|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 [[Randall Aiken|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]].<ref name="nf1">'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> | |
| | |
| The joint team captured two smugglers—[[Arris Le]] and [[Haisal Wari]]—but while they were returning to the Condor for extraction, they were attacked by [[Lekgolo]] swarms. Two of the Sedrans who were preparing the [[Wikipedia:horse|horses]] the smugglers were using for transportation were devoured by the Lekgolo; the Condor's pilot was killed as well when the worms commandeered the craft and crashed it, though [[Talitha Macer|Private Macer]], who served as the copilot, survived. As the Sedrans and ONI agents retreated, another Sedran was killed by the Lekgolo. The surviving Sedrans and ONI agents were able to escape the Lekgolo worms,<ref>'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 2''</ref> but it was realized that only two individuals would make it off Alpha Shard due to the Condor being inoperable and the only other means of transport, the smugglers' {{Class|Bactrian|freighter}}, could only hold two. Colonel Aiken told the group to continue on with the mission regardless and retrieve the HAVOK warhead from the Condor. Colonial Guard [[Samantha Wisner|Sergeant Wisner]] was later killed after stopping to retrieve her oxygen breather, which had attracted the Lekgolo to it.<ref>'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 3''</ref> Only Colonel Aiken, Private Macer and the ONI unit's [[Jameson Locke|Lieutenant Commander Locke]] made it to the Condor where it was decided that Aiken would stay behind to detonate the HAVOK nuke manually. Narrowly escaping on the smugglers' tug, Macer and Locke were the only survivors of the mission.<ref>'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 5''</ref> | |

| | After the [[Human-Covenant War]], [[Sedra]]'s economic stability allowed it to supply the Sedran Colonial Guard with relatively modern military hardware. However, this hardware is still inferior to the technology and equipment used by the [[UNSC Defense Force]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/sedran-colonial-guard '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Sedran Colonial Guard'']</ref> The Colonial Guard is unable to afford the more effective and newer equipment provided by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. Instead, they are forced to rely on outdated weapons and vehicles, such as the [[D81-LRT Condor]] transport.<ref name="youtube"/><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MR2rN198zw&list=UU7NCg0venpKJg3kuJojKlbQ '''YouTube''': ''Halo Nightfall In Cinema First Look'']</ref> The Sedran colonial government maintains a close relationship with the UNSC in regards to military hardware acquisition.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In [[Halo: Nightfall]], Sedran Colonial Guard troops make use of a real-life 21st Century camouflage called ''PenCott-BadLands™'' made by ''Helikon-Tex'', a Polish textile company specializing in military surplus and outdoor wear.<ref>'''PencottCamo''': [http://www.pencottcamo.com/2014/07/pencott-badlands-camo-to-feature-in-upcoming-halo-nightfall-series/ ''PenCott-BadLands™ camouflage features in upcoming “Halo: Nightfall” series'']</ref>
