History

Star League Era

In 2743 the 5th 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. 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 5th, Hauptmann Steiner demonstrated an uncanny ability to use his forces within the 5th to outmaneuver attacking forces, something opponents of the usually heavy and ponderous LCAF didn't expect. He would remain with the 5th Guards until 2750, when he was awarded command of the 1st Royal Guards.[1]

Jihad

The 5th 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, honoured a unit from the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery;[2] serving in Group III alongside the 5th Lyran Guards were Delta Galaxy of Clan Nova Cat and the 17th Benjamin Regulars.[3]

As part of Group III the 5th 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 5th 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 5th Lyran Guards launched a devastating assault that broke the Blakist forces.[3]

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 5th Lyran Guards. This prompted Group III to leave Nanking en masse.[3]

After Terra was secured by the Coalition forces the 5th Lyran Guards had been heavily depleted by months of combat; the Lyran high command pulled a complete battalion from the Accrington FTM and assigned them to the 5th as battlefield casualty replacements, and the 5th were redeployed to defend the factories of Hesperus II.[4]
