During the Twelfth Star Guards' employment with the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] through the first half of the Second Succession war, the unit expanded from two to seven [[regiment]]s with the Fifth Star Guards - regimental nickname the Lescouflair's Landsknechts - being formed in [[2846]].

Following the mutiny of the RattFraggs, the Fifth Regiment would be assigned by the Combine to an strike against the [[Federated Suns]] only to find themselves abandoned on an enemy world rather than receiving expected support, with the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] ultimately destroying the Lescouflair's Landsknechts. The destruction of the Fifth was the final straw for the Twelfth Star Guards who broke contract with the Draconis Combine, forever ending their association with House Kurita and returning to service with the Lyran Commonwealth in [[2861]].<ref name=SSW-100/> <ref name=HBS-73>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 73 "Mercenary Profile - 12th Star Guards"</ref> <ref name=CMM-66>''Combat Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 66 "12th Star Guards"</ref>
