Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The Thirty-second Lyran Guards are a long-serving unit in the LCAF.

History

In 2801 the Thirty-second's training unit drove a raiding force from Redjack Ryan's Bandit Kingdom off of Alkalurops.[1] The whole unit raided Kobe in 3000[2], and Wheel in 3014.[3]

Since the Fourth Succession War the 32nd mostly spent time on the Free Worlds League/Lyran Commonwealth border. For much of that time, they were stationed on Solaris VII, the Game World.[4] In 3057 the High Command reassigned them to New Kyoto as that world's garrison. When rioting broke out on Solaris, a battalion of troops from the Thirty-second returned to establish order.[5][6] Instead of separating the combatants however, the Thirty-second's warriors openly sided with the Silesian duelists against the gladiators from the Davion-backed Black Hills. Their presence did bring the fighting to a halt but the skilled duelists from the arenas destroyed nearly every Guard 'Mech that was sent to face them.[7]

Splitting the unit across Solaris and New Kyoto made it difficult to rebuild, and to add insult to injury the Thirty-second had been made subordinate to the 17th Arcturan Guards, the other LAAF unit on Solaris.[8]

During the FedCom Civil War, the 32nd broke their oath to the Lyran Alliance and attacked the 17th Arcturan Guards on Solaris. The fighting was heavy, with the 32nd taking serious losses. A combined force of mercenaries on Solaris destroyed the 32nd's command structure, which later allowed the 2nd Donegal Guards to destroy three quarters of the unit.[9]

During the Jihad the Thirty-second was redeployed to the Lyran Commonwealth/Clan Jade Falcon border to guard against Clan adventurism. Though they saw no action against the Falcons, the soldiers of the Thirty-second spent considerable time in the company of socialites who accompanied them from Tharkad.[10]

The unit received its nickname because no opposing force has ever completely stopped it.

Officers

As of 3050 to 3054 the unit was commanded by Marshal Gustav Van Buren.[4][11]

As of 3062, the commanding officer was Leutnant-General Alice Day.[8]

As of 3067, the commanding officer was Leutnant-General Ethan Lyle.[12]

As of 3085, the commanding officer is Leutnant-General Sara Jovino.[13]

Tactics

During the riots the unit has learned to fight in urban environments.[8]
