During the Star League era the 33rd Lyran Guards was one of six regiments within the [[Fourth Lyran Guards Division|4th 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 33rd lacked any particular political ties - either regional or familial - unlike regiments in other brigades; commonly assigned to garrison postings, the 33rd 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 33rd 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 Thirty-third and the other Guards regiments, but with little success by 2765.<ref name="FR2765p13"/>

In 2765 the 33rd Guards were stationed on [[Fefferfer]], an important posting; Fefferfer was home to a large manufacturing complex owned and operated by the [[Lyran 'Mech Corporation]], the second largest [[BattleMech]] manufacturer in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. The Fefferfer complex manufactured BattleMechs and aerospace assets, and was in the closing stages of an expansion at the time; rumor had it that [[LMC]] had solicited opinions from the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] of the 33rd for the design for a new light assault [['Mech]] or heavy 'Mech.<ref name="FR2765p13"/>
