History
The unit gained its regimental nickname "St. George's Regiment" for its heroic actions against the Draconis Combine during the 2nd Succession War. At the end of the 3rd Succession War, the unit was stationed on Wyatt on the Free Worlds League border. The 11th Lyran Guards and the 17th Arcturan Guards successfully defended the planet against Wolf's Dragoons Beta and Delta regiments in 3016, which were employed by the Free Worlds League at that time. During the battle the Lyran Guards shot down the Overlord-class Dropship Sendalor along with an entire battalion of Beta regiment when the Dragoons tried to evacuate the planet. [1]
The unit wasn't part of Operation Götterdämmerung during the 4th Succession War, but it saw action against the 5th Regulan Hussars and 25th Marik Militia during Operation Dagger. The Guards inflicted heavy losses on the invaders, but were ordered to retreat off-world. The unit guarded the the Free Worlds League border during the War of 3039.
The 11th Lyran Guards participated in the defense of Coventry and later in the destruction of Clan Smoke Jaguar as part of Task Force Serpent. They took heavy casualties (at least 50% or more) on the Smoke Jaguar homeworld Huntress. The RCT played no known role in the Federated Commonwealth Civil War and it is possible that it was at least temporarily disbanded on return to the Inner Sphere.
Officers
As of 3025 the Commanding Officer was Leutnant-Colonel Sharon Byrant. In 3050 they were under the command of Marshal Sharon Bryant, a pro-Katrina officer who commanded the RCT during the Coventry campaign and as part of Task Force Serpent.
Notes
Their homeworld is Wyatt. The 11th Lyran Guards were posted to Callison in the Skye March in 3050 and were presumably among the units dispatched to Sudeten during the Clan Invasion.
