13th Lyran Guards

Cleanup tagged articles without a reason field Template:InfoBoxStateUnit

History

Was sent to Keid around 3057 - 3058 in response to Duchess Arice Hunsen rise to power and her declaration of her loyalty to Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion and the newly formed Lyran Alliance.

Somewhere between 3058 and 3062 the unit went rogue in the Chaos March.

Capitulated after a six month long fight against Clifton’s Rangers & Hannibal’s Hermits on Keid in 3066. By using the terrain and their superior mobility, the two units outmaneuvered the heavier Lyran unit, ambushed it at every opportunity and finally captured their base.

Notes

First appeared in the Chaos March (sourcebook) but that seems to be a birth out of an error, simply by using a wrong number or name or even both, because there is no sign of its formation and no entry in any deployment table. In this case the unit was likely meant to be the 13th Donegal Guards as this is the only Lyran unit with the number 13 around the time of its appearance, so the "Lyran" was mixed up with "Donegal". The short mentioning in the Mercenaries Supplemental seems to be an attempt to correct this error by simply destroying the unit.

The novel Double-Blind also mentions the 13th but that seems to by an error by the author as the 30th Lyran Guards was stationed on New Home not the 13th, they were on Keid. This is also supported as the CO of the Lyran unit is mentioned as Dolores Whitman, the Chaos March (sourcebook) states the CO of the New Home Regulars, that's the part of the 30th that mutinied and flew back to New Home, as Delores Whitman despite the typo they seem to be the same person. So this is likley another mix up this time concerning the numbering.
