| |
− | | |
− | The '''Lyran Alliance Armed Forces''', also known by the unfortunately acronym of '''LAAF''', is the military arm of the [[Lyran Alliance]]. Formed from [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]]'s Lyran State Command, the LAAF promotes a return to the military and tactical style of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]].

− | ==Units of the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces==
| |
− | | |
− | The bulk of the LAAF TOE consists of pre-existing LCAF units who returned home upon the break-away of the Alliance from the Federated Commonwealth, though a small number of new and renamed formations exist.

− | | |
− | ====Alliance Guards====
| |
− | | |
− | Those [[Federated Commonwealth Corps]] [[RCT]]s who chose to remain in the Alliance after the break-away were renamed under the banner of the [[Alliance Guards]]. The brigade has not been re-equipped, and uses mostly outdated war materiel. The paint scheme for Alliance Guards is brown and tan.

− | ====Alliance Jaegers====
| |
− | | |
− | Founded in the wake of the formation of the Lyran Alliance, the [[Alliance Jaegers]] were an effort to boost Lyran nationalism, with a Jaeger unit for each of the Alliance Provinces of the original [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. The Alliance Jaegers are well equipped, and each unit also will only recruits from among the best soldiers from its state of origin. Each unit uses a different base color - the left side of each [[BattleMech]] or [[Vehicle]] is then checkered with white.

− | ====Arcturan Guards====
| |
− | | |
− | The '''Arcturan Guards''' were the first [[Lyran]] national unit mustered to defend the nascent [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Named for the original capital world of the Commonwealth, the Arcturan Guards traditionally recruited a plurality of their soldiers from [[Arcturus]]. However, these recruitment practices have been relaxed, especially because Arcturus is now mostly abandoned. The brigade is traditionally well-equipped. The parade color for the unit is flat white.

− | ====Lyran Guards====
| |
− | | |
− | The '''Lyran Guards''' were the second [[Lyran]] brigade mustered after the formation of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Unlike the [[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces#Arcturan Guards|Arcturan Guards]], the Lyran Guards recruited its soldiers from across the Commonwealth, and, second only to the [[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces#Royal Guards|Royal Guards]], is the most prestigious commission in the [[LCAF]]. At its zenith, the Lyran Guards numbered 60 regiments. The Lyran Guards paint their machines in Lyran blue and white.

− | ====[[Lyran Regulars]]====
| |
− | | |
− | Originally a Lyran national brigade (mustered, dibanded and remustered) used for hopeless missions, the '''Lyran Regulars''' were raised from [[Lyran]] veterans, hired mercenaries, the remnants of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]], and the remnants of the [[SLDF]] which remained in Lyran space. The Lyran Regulars lack patronage, and specialize in tactics considered "unorthodox" within the LAAF. As such, the Lyran Regulars are the only brigade lacking a political agenda. The modern Lyran Regulars are basically a training cadre, and are poorly equipped. The Lyran Regulars paint their equipment "drab green" (mottled between olive and pine green), with tan or khaki highlights.

− | ====Royal Guards====
| |
− | | |
− | The '''[[Lyran]] Royal Guards''' are the best equipped and most prestigious brigade within the LAAF, but mostly serve as the protectors of the [[Lyran]] government. Each unit within the Royal Guards recruits by invitation only from soldiers of a particular parent state, meaning that each of the Royal Guards regiments represents the pinnacle of military prowess for either the [[Protectorate of Donegal]], the [[Federation of Skye]], or the [[Tamar Pact]]. The Royal Guards are also tasked with the protection of the Archon or Archon-Designate, and the [[Tharkad#The Triad|Triad]]. In fact, the [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]] that stand constant garrison over the Lyran throne room are elements of the 1st Royal Guards. The Royal Guards paint their machines a base of Lyran blue, with gold painted on the left and right side.

− | ===State Units Predating the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]===
| |
− | | |
− | ====Donegal Guards====
| |
− | | |
− | The '''Donegal Guards''' predate the formation of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Originally the defensive force of the [[Protectorate of Donegal]], the Donegal Guards are a large and well supplied unit, mostly because the Protectorate of Donegal was not ravaged by the [[Succession Wars]]. Donegal Guards fight with dogged determination. At its zenith, the brigade numbered 20 [[BattleMech]] regiments and an addition 80 regiments of conventional forces. The Donegal Guards paint their [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]] and [[Combat Vehicle|Combat Vehicles]] blue-gray.

| |
− | | |
− | ====Skye Rangers====
| |
− | | |
− | Predating the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the '''Skye Rangers''' were the military of the [[Federation of Skye]]. The Skye Rangers have maintained close ties to its parent state, recruiting almost exclusively from the Federation. As such, the unit frequently sides with the [[Duke of Porrima]], not the Archon. Therefore, the brigades loyalties are questionable. The brigade paints its [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]] dark red with black arms, and highlights specific to the unit.
