During the Star League era the 41st Lyran Guards was one of six regiments within the [[Fifth Lyran Guards Division|5th 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 41st lacked any particular political ties - either regional or familial - unlike regiments in other brigades; commonly assigned to garrison postings, the 41<sup>st</sup> 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 41st 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 41st and the other Guards regiments, but with little success by 2765.<ref name="FR2765p13"/>

In 2765 the unit was stationed on [[Tamar]], the former capital of the [[Tamar Pact]] and one of three provincial capitals within the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Tamar was the only planet in the Commonwealth to be the base location for two Lyran Guards regiments, as the [[Forty-fourth Lyran Guards|44th Lyran Guards]] were also normally stationed on Tamar; however, while the 41st was the official garrison regiment for Tamar, the 44th was serving as a strategic reserve for the local region, deploying to other systems and planets as required.<ref name="FR2765p13"/>
