Like many [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] Divisions, the 167th chose a new nickname after that climactic battle, calling itself ''The Green Mountain Boys''. The hundred and sixty-seventh took up station on the [[Lyran]] world of [[Loric]].<ref name=CS>''ComStar'', p. 85: "8th Army V-pi"</ref> With the increasing distrust of ComStar in the newly formed [[Lyran Alliance]], exasperated by the promotion of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] to the post of [[Precentor Martial of ComStar]], the 167th attempted to at least maintain good relations with the [[LAAF]] command posted to Loric at the time, the [[Seventh Lyran Regulars]]. Both relatively inexperienced units frequently engaged in military exercises and officer exchanges to try and avoid any misunderstandings.<ref name=FMC>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 35: "8th Army V-Pi: Stern Defiance"</ref> Unfortunately by mid-[[3065]] with a number of LAAF attacks on strictly neutral ComStar troops and facilities, when the Seventh declared its loyalty to [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] and departed to bolster the defense of [[Bolan]], the 167th decided that was enough. After declaring their support for Victor on June 10th, his command staff suggested the Com Guard unit rescue the embattled [[Fourth Crucis Lancers]] on [[Giausar]], lifting off three days later. Reaching Giausar on July 14th, due to a communications foul-up the 167th found themselves landing right into the guns of the [[Seventh Donegal Guards]]. Thanks to the heroic sacrifice of the unit's CO Precentor Kuzi, the 167th were finally able to escape this trap and link up with the remains of the Lancers, having already suffered combat losses of over 50%.
