5th Lyran Regulars were re-formed after the Jihad. They appeared in Operation Hammerfall. Should they still be listed as destroyed now, since the novel is only place they appear? -- Wrangler 12:36, 29 June 2009 (PDT)

This is kind of complicated. The Lyran Regulars are units which are thrown at suicidally difficult tasks. If the commands survive, great! If not, give it a couple of years, and someone will reform the unit with old cast-off BattleMechs and green recruits from somewhere else. In other words, it makes sense the 5th would be reformed by the end of the Jihad. The historical tags might not be the best way to convey information, especially for this kind of unit - I guess the whole problem with running a game in multiple time periods raises the question, 'what is historical?' I will remove the tag on this page, but this detail should also be added to the 5th Lyran Regulars page.--S.gage 17:33 (EDT) 29 June 2009
