| rdfs:comment | - The Praetorian Guard (Praetoriani in Latin) was a force of bodyguards used by Roman Emperors. The title was already used during the Roman Republic for the guards of Roman generals since the rise to prominence of the Scipio family around 275 BC. The Guard was dissolved by Emperor Constantine I in the 4th century. They were distinct from the Imperial Germanic bodyguard which provided close personal protection for the early Roman emperors.
- The Praetorian Guard's regiments fight in a similar way to the regiments of the Mordian Iron Guard, presenting perfectly formed firing lines and unleashing precisely timed volleys of las-fire, despite the chaos of battle around them. The Praetorian Guard are known for their incredible discipline, and will not break from the line under almost any conditions, displaying a fortitude that is near superhuman when compared to other Imperial Guard regiments.
- The Praetorian Guard was a protective service of the Fel Empire. Made up of soldiers selected by Emperor Roan Fel personally from the ranks of the Imperial Army, the Praetorians acted as a republican guard to the Empire's government. While the Imperial Military had the role of defending the Empire's sovereignty (and was tasked with defeating those loyal to Darth Krayt and his empire), the Praetorian Guard defended the Imperial monarchy of Fel, and the rest of the Imperial government. The Guard was formed during the Second Imperial Civil War, as Fel thought that he and the rest of his officials needed an elite guard for their personal protection, against Krayt's Sith assassins. The Praetorian Guard was formed as a result, and throughout the war, was commanded by a Zabrak officer.
- Praetorian guards are the elite personal bodyguards of the main leaders of Caesar's Legion, Caesar and Legate Lanius in 2281. Praetorians focus exclusively on unarmed combat in battle, and can see through disguises. The leader of the Praetorian Guard is Lucius, the third most powerful man in Caesar's Legion.
- Whenever a story has an army, there's almost always some kind of elite group that serve as the guardians of the leader. The Big Bad is much more likely to have a dedicated group of elite bodyguards than the story's Big Good or other equivalent-ranking good guy. This might be because the good leader often has a Kirk-like tendency to lead his soldiers into battle, even if logically it seems like a bad idea to have your leader be the first person you send into every potentially dangerous situation.

They were also responsible for rounding up rebellious or runaway slaves and placing them in the City Prison. Some of them were fans of Empire TV as one of the guards recognized Flavius Maximus when he was captured.

They were also responsible for rounding up rebellious or runaway slaves and placing them in the City Prison. Some of them were fans of Empire TV as one of the guards recognized Flavius Maximus when he was captured. After the capture of the landing party from the USS Enterprise by runaway slave Flavius Maximus, it was recognized that they wore unfamiliar uniforms, causing him to theorize that they must be part of "some new Preatorian Guard unit." (TOS: "Bread and Circuses" )

Another notable exception is any fictional representation of the real-life Secret Service (typically American, but also occasionally Her Majesty's). A princess may also have a solitary male bodyguard that she sometimes finds herself attracted to (and vice-versa). In Real Life, the Praetorian Guard was a special force originally intended to serve as a Roman general's bodyguard in combat, but the term was later restricted to the elite personal guard of the Roman Emperors. As a bodyguard unit, they proved to be a miserable failure: Nine separate emperors were killed by the guard, and many others were deserted or otherwise messed over by them. In some cases the Guard literally sold the Imperial office to the highest bidder, then turned on their new master when he failed to deliver on his extravagant promises. Tend to favor Scary Impractical Armor, Bling of War and a Blade on a Stick. Despite their elite status, they have an unusual tendency to stand around not doing much fighting - of course, as long as their boss is keeping out of trouble, that's precisely their job. Sometimes overlaps with Elite Mooks, Superpowered Mooks, and Amazon Brigade when they are Bodyguard Babes. If they are generally recruited from another nation, they are a Cadre of Foreign Bodyguards. If they never actually go into a fight, then it's just palette swapped normal infantry (the real Praetorian Guard were palette swapped standard legionaries; they wore nice purple tunics). May or may not be under the control of State Sec. Examples of Praetorian Guard include:
