In [[2743]] the Fifth Lyran Guards received a distinguished new recruit as a part of their deployment to [[New Caledonia]], a world close to the borders of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] and [[Draconis Combine]]: [[Paul Steiner]], son of [[Archon]] [[Michael Steiner II|Michael Steiner]]. A newly-commissioned [[Hauptmann]] who had graduated top of his class at the [[Nagelring]], Paul's deployment was a sign of how seriously the Archon took the Combine-instigated "bandit raids" which had struck Lyran border worlds in [[2742]]. During the raids that followed the redeployment of the Fifth , Hauptmann Steiner demonstrated an uncanny ability to use his forces to outmaneuver attacking forces, something opponents of the usually heavy and ponderous [[LCAF]] didn't expect. He would remain with the Fifth Guards until [[2750]], when he was awarded command of the [[First Royal Guards]].<ref name="ER:2750p79+">''Era Report: 2750'', p. 79-80, "Paul Steiner"</ref>

During the Star League era the Fifth Lyran Guards was one of ten regiments within the [[First 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. By the mid-[[twenty-eighth century]] the First Division was the only Division of the Lyran Guards to be at full strength, and while the Lyran Guards were supposed to be loyal to the Lyran Commonwealth first and the Archon second, the various regiments of the First had been used at various points to keep powerful nobles in line.<ref name="FR2765p13">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 13-14, "Lyran Guards"</ref>

Like the other regiments of the Guards during this era, theFifth lacked any particular political ties - either regional or familial - unlike regiments in other brigades; commonly assigned to garrison postings, the Fifth 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 Fifth and her sister regiments being manned by soldiers who were professional, but without the close-knit ties found in more parochial regiments. The [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] was intent on generating more camaraderie and ''esprit de corps'' among the Fifth and the other Guards regiments, but with little success by 2765.<ref name="FR2765p13"/>

[[Wyatt]] was annexed by the [[Free Worlds League]] early in the [[First Succession War]], but the [[Marik Militia]] forces assigned to Wyatt withdrew in late [[2790]], leaving the planet open to conquest. The League had honored the titles of the Roark family on Wyatt when the world was annexed from the [[Terran Hegemony]], in exchange for the Roark's fealty. That fealty was tested when two [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] [[regiment]]s - the [[Fourth Donegal Guards]] and Fifth Lyran Guards - arrived to annex the planet in January [[2791]]. A Lyran negotiator attempted to persuade [[Baroness]] [[Althea Roark]] to switch her allegiance to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the previous Baron - Althea's husband - having left with the [[Star League Defense Force]] on the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]], but Althea's son and daughter - former [[Captain]] Stephan Roark of the [[SLDF]] and his sister, Dana - are opposed to breaking their oaths to [[House Marik]], as is Stephan's uncle, retired SLDF [[General]] Bartolomeo Roark. The defending forces on Wyatt consisted of the Wyatt Militia - a force that can muster barely four [[lance]]s of [['Mech]]s - and the personal 'Mechs of House Roark, which were dispersed around the various Roark landholdings across the world. Stephan and his allies fought against the annexation, but were undercut by the Baroness, who aligned House Roark with the Commonwealth to preserve the family's position on Wyatt.<ref name="ASP">''A Soldier's Privilege''</ref>

The Fifth went to [[Skondia]] in [[3044]] as part of Operation Baldur. The plan was for the Fifth and the [[Seventeenth Donegal Guards]] to liberate the world and thus secure [[Skye]]'s border. The unit was nearly destroyed in heavy fighting. It took three years before the Fifth was rebuilt. During the [[Clan Invasion]] the Fifth remained in the Draconis March to appease the Sandoval family.<ref name=FMLA76/>

The Fifth Lyran Guards saw action early in [[Operation SCOUR]], serving on the [[Federated Suns]] front as a part of Group III. Group III attacked [[Tybalt]] in early [[3077]], when it was targeted in the first wave of assaults made by the allied coalition forces that made up the Federated Suns front of [[Operation SCOUR]]. Following the liberation of Tybalt, the local citizenry found itself in the unusual position of throwing a victory parade that, for the first time in the history of Tybalt, honored a unit from the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]];<ref name="JHS:Tp36">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 36, "First Wave Complete"</ref> serving in Group III alongside the Fifth Lyran Guards were [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Delta Galaxy]] of [[Clan Nova Cat]] and the [[17th Benjamin Regulars]].<ref name="JHS:Tp39">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 39, "War To The Knife"</ref>

As part of Group III the Fifth Lyran Guards took part in the assault on [[Nanking]] in late 3077. Arriving in-system at almost the same time as a Capellan attack group, the Fifth and the rest of Group III arrived above Nanking a day after the Capellans had landed, only to find that the Capellan forces led by [[Warrior House Fujita]] were trapped in their deployment zone, exhausted from the punishing trip in and under fire from the Nanking Protectorate Militia. Group III dropped behind the Militia forces and proceeded to launch an attack that saw Delta Galaxy and the 17th Benjamin Regulars punish the Militia with ranged fire before the Fifth Lyran Guards launched a devastating assault that broke the Blakist forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp39">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 39, "War To The Knife"</ref>

Having broken the main Blakist force, Group III found itself being ordered to leave Nanking by House Fujita; when Group III cited the continuing Blakist presence on the planet as a reason to stay, House Fujita nuked the base camp of the Fifth Lyran Guards. This prompted Group III to leave Nanking en masse.<ref name="JHS:Tp39"/>
