History
The 14th Lyran Guards defended Alexandria in 2953 and 2955 alongside the 20th Arcturan Guards. Their actions against both the Free Worlds League and Draconis Combine in the Third Succession War earned them a Dragon Slayer's Ribbon and an Eagle's Feather. After the Third Succession War, most of their focus was on the Free Worlds League.
In 3047 they attempted to raid the Free Worlds planet Pingree. Two companies of the 5th Fusiliers of Oriente intercepted them and held them off for two days. The delay allowed the rest of the Fusiliers to deploy effectively and force the 14th off-world.
The Second Battalion of 14th Lyran Guards were defeated while attempting to defend Gienah against a raid by the 3rd Free Worlds Legionnaires and 2nd Fusiliers of Oriente in September 3048.[1]
In 3050 the Fourteenth was stationed on Ford.[2] As the political situation on Ford destabilized the 30th Lyran Military Police Regiment (an infantry unit attached to the 14th) played a large role in maintaining order on the world.[1]
During the FedCom Civil War the Fourteenth joined with the Free Skye Movement and fought their fellow Guards. After the Civil War ended, the Fourteenth would have been stricken from the rolls, but Duke Kelswa-Steiner was able to talk the High Command into keeping the regiment intact. The other Lyran Guard units shunned the Fourteenth because of their actions.[3]
In the Jihad the Fourteenth returned to Pingree, easily landing on the world but rapidly coming under continual fire from the defending Free Worlds units. They took heavy losses before the cease-fire. In 3079 they had relocated to Zdice.[4]
Officers
As of 3025 the commanding officer was Colonel Dale Barrows.[5]
As of 3050 to 3054 the Fourteenth was commanded by Marshal Emily Stevens.[2][6]
As of 3062 to 3067 the commanding officer was Leutnant-General Katinka Porter, whose family were refugees from New Delos in the Free Worlds League. She attained her command in 3057, replacing Emily Stevens.[1][7]
As of 3085 the commanding officer was Leutnant-General Pendragon Botov.[8]
Tactics
The 14th is a classic Lyran heavy assault unit. Unlike most of these regiments, the 14th lacks the Lightning Companies common after the Fourth Succession War. The heavy mechs are support by lighter, more mobile armor units.[1]
