FedCom Civil War
During the FedCom Civil War, the Third Lyran Guard tried to keep the peace between the 11th Donegal Guards and ComStar's 388th Division.[1] At the end of the war they were reassigned to Crimmond.[2]
Jihad Era
Participated in the liberation of Tharkad in January 3072. They dropped on-world and held open a landing zone for other Coalition forces.[3] The Third Guards were one of the Lyran units to join Devlin Stone's Coalition. As part of the Free Worlds League task force, they attacked Berenson with Beta Galaxy and the Marlette Crucis March Militia.[4]
The Third participated in the assault on Terra. There they were assigned to General Connor Sortek's command. Fighting alongside the 17th Benjamin Regulars the Third seized the Pacific Northwest, part of the North American continent.[5]
Officers
As of 3062, the commanding officer was Leutnant-General Paul Zardetto, a McKennsy Hammer holder.[6] He was still in command a decade later, when the Third Lyran liberated Tharkad.[7] He remained in command of the Third during that unit's time with the Coalition while simultaneously serving as one of the Free Worlds League Task Group commanders under Alys Marik.[8]
Tactics
The 3rd Lyran Guards trained hard for four years to reclaim Tharkad from Word of Blake forces. A large part of that training dealt with combat drops, and so the 3rd Lyrans are very skilled in dropping into combat.[9]
