Red Lizard is the HCS' elite forces and, as such, has been at the forefront of HCS operations for decades. Red Lizard is a well-trained and mobile unit, which specialises in covert operations and sabotage. Before a HCS assault often Red Lizard will move in to degrade the enemy's ability to repulse the attack.
Red Lizard dates from the earliest days of the HCS, in fact it gets it's name from the Red Lizard Brigade of the old Imperial pre-HCS Clone Army. The Red Lizard Brigade was a picked band of the best soldiers in the kingdom. Red Lizard continues the tradition.
The strength of Red Lizard is secret but the DDS estimate around 1000 men in 10 Active Service Units (ASUs). Most ASUs are on Cloneworld but a couple are stationed on other planets, one is known to be on Randalf 74 and another on Austini 55 (current status unknown). Red Lizard are well equipped with helicopters and tend to use these for transport. All Red Lizard soldiers are trained paratroopers and also have to have mountaineering training too, though this tends to be used more for climbing buildings these days.
