−	The '''Thirtieth Lyran Guards''' were a [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]] in service to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].
−	==History==	+	The '''30th Lyran Guards''' were a [[battlemech]] [[regiment]] in service to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].
−	=== Star League Era ===
−	During the Star League era the Thirtieth Lyran Guards was one of six regiments within the [[Third Lyran Guards Division]], one of five Divisions of active regiments within the Lyran Guards brigade in the closing decades of the [[Star League]]'s existence.<ref name="FR2765p13">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 13-14, "Lyran Guards"</ref>
−	Like the other regiments of the Guards during this era, the Thirtieth Lyran Guards lacked any particular political ties - either regional or familial - unlike regiments in other brigades; commonly assigned to garrison postings, the Thirtieth Lyran Guards and their sister regiments were postings of choice for those who wanted to work for the Commonwealth without either regional loyalties or particular ambitions. This led to the Thirtieth and her sister regiments being manned by soldiers who were professional, but without the close-knit ties found in more parochial regiments. The LCAF was intent on generating more camaraderie and ''esprit de corps'' among the 30th and the other Guards regiments, but with little success by 2765.<ref name="FR2765p13"/>	+	==History==
−		+	===1st Succession War===
−	As a part of the Third Division, the Thirtieth was considered a regiment for up-and-coming personnel and rising stars during the 2760s, a consequence of ''Leutnant General'' [[Kristy Kiirlund]]'s tenure as commanding officer of the Third. The Thirtieth took part in the Division-level deployment of the entire Third Division to the [[Circinus]] system in the mid-2760s to conduct [[Operation HOUND DOG]], a determined effort to track down and destroy bandit elements and groups believed to be operating out of the otherwise uninhabited Circinus system. Despite the [[Free Worlds League]] declining to commit any troops or observers to the Operation - the League military considering the Operation to be nothing more than a "Snipe hunt" - the mission was accompanied by a team of [[Star League Defense Force]] observers and was a success. The unit had taken up a garrison post on [[Skandia]] by 2765 and recovered completely from the few casualties taken during HOUND DOG.<ref name="FR2765p13"/>	+	During the First Battle of [[Hesperus II]] in [[2787]] the 30th Guards were among the defenders against the [[Combine]] assault dubbed [[Operation Broken Blade]]<ref>''Broken Blade'', p.1</ref> where they managed to protect the factories and force the invaders to retreat.
−
−	=== First Succession War ===
−	When the [[Second Lyran Guards]] were destroyed, several of their constituent elements were combined with the Thirtieth Lyran Guards. These elements gave the Thirtieth their name.<ref name="HS:TLCp59">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 59</ref>
−
−	During the First Battle of [[Hesperus II]] in [[2787]] the Thirtieth Guards were among the defenders against the [[Combine]] assault dubbed [[Operation BROKEN BLADE]]<ref>''Broken Blade'', p.1</ref> where they managed to protect the factories and force the invaders to retreat.
−
−	===Third Succession War===
−	The 30th Lyran Guards assaulted [[Sevren]] alongside [[Hansen's Roughriders]] and [[Winfield's Brigade]] in [[3024]]. They faced several [[Dieron Regulars]] regiments, but by dividing the strike force into separate groups and defeating them in detail, the Thirtieth brought Sevren under Commonwealth control.<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 83</ref> The Thirtieth then redeployed to garrison [[Icar]].<ref name=hslcp118/>
−
−	=== Fourth Succession War ===
−	New Caledonia was one of the worlds attacked in the opening wave of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the major [[Lyran Commonwealth]] offensive of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Defending New Caledonia was the [[Second An Ting Legion]], along with a large contingent of [[aerospace fighters]]. Despite the heavier than anticipated aerospace presence, the [[Tenth Donegal Guards|10th Donegal Guards]] [[RCT]] and the 30th Lyran Guards RCT arrived in the New Caledonia system on the 22nd of August 3028, achieving total surprise over the defending forces. The Thirtieth dropped north of Redfev, the planetary capital city and major industrial center, while the Tenth dropped to the south of the city. The Second An Ting Legion managed to withdraw from New Caledonia, but the two Lyran RCTs inflicted enough damage on the Legion that more than a fifth of its equipment had been lost before the Legion escaped.<ref name="NAIS4SWp50">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 50, "Other Early Action"</ref>
	===Operation Guerrero===		===Operation Guerrero===
−	Stationed on [[New Home]] when the Liaoist guerrilla cells launched an open revolution in [[3057]], striking almost daily with bombings and killing of civilians. The unit also suffered from those attacks as they frequently hit the unit's personnel and dependents and so further demoralized the Guards' commanders, Marshal [[Vincent Tanner]] and his second in command Leutnant-General Herbert Kingsley who barely managed to keep the government working. Days after declaring martial law and suspending the ineffectual planetary government, Marshal Tanner was assassinated by the ''[[Zhanzheng de Guang]]''. Less than twenty-four hours later New Home heard of [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]'s self proclamation to [[Archon]] of the newly formed [[Lyran Alliance]] and her invitation to all Lyran Troops to return home.	+	Stationed on [[New Home]] when the Liaoist guerrilla cells launched an open revolution in [[3057]], striking almost daily with bombings and killing of civilians.

Less than twenty-four hours later New Home heard of [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]'s self proclamation to Archon of the newly formed [[Lyran Alliance]] and her invitation to all Lyran Troops to return home.
−	As acting Commander General Kingsley eagerly accepted the invitation but most of the unit preferred to remain on New Home. The new recruits, natives of New Home, and the brutalities of the ''Zhanzheng de Guang'' made the unit more determined to free New Home those Liaoist guerrilla. En route to the Lyran Alliance the 30th mutinied. Led by Leftenant General Delores Whitman, Kingsley's second in command, the Guards returned to New Home but found that the Liaoist revolutionaries had taken control in their absence. Reinforced by BattleMechs and state-of-the-art weapons from the [[Free Worlds League]], the newly christened [[New Home Regulars]], presented the 30th Lyran Guards with a formidable opposition that led to a stalemate.	+	As acting Commander General Kingsley eagerly accepted the invitation but most of the unit preferred to remain on New Home.

−	This lasted until Baron Shienzè ruler of New Home hired the mercenary unit [[Avanti's Angels]]. With their unusual combat doctrine, shaped by battle against the [[Clans]], that offense was the key to victory and their specialization on hard attacks the Avanti's Angels managed to hit the New Home Regulars hard enough to shift the tide in favor of the Baron and the Lyran Guards in March [[3058]].	+	This lasted until Baron Shienzè ruler of New Home hired the mercenary unit [[Avanti's Angels]].
