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]
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.
Officers
In 3025 the commanding officer was Colonel Dale Barrows.[2]
In 3062 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]
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]
