Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The 6th Lyran Regulars was a Lyran Commonwealth regiment that went rogue at the begin of the Second Succession War, turning to piracy in the Periphery.
History
In 2829 the LCAF decided to use the ComStar sanctions to invade the Free Worlds League. Oliver and Graham IV were heavily contested worlds and the LCCC used the time to start an counterattack with raids on planets with possible supply depots or reinforcements for the front line. The situation on Oliver, where the 6th Lyran Regulars were assigned to, was especially bad. The commanding officer of the unit, Colonel Hendrik Grimm believed the Archon himself denied him the reinforcements to get rid of him. In reality the LCAF had no reserve unit to spare, because all other commands were involved in the fighting.
Grimm's paranoia (he actually suffered from a medical condition) made him order his command to retreat off world and the soldiers under his command followed him blindly. The Lyran High Command gave the members of the unit 7 days to return home but nothing happened. [[House Steiner}} declared the unit renegades and put a bounty on the unit. Forces from both House Steiner and House Marik tried several times to collect the bounty but they failed every time.[1]
Grimm led the 6th and elements of the shattered 5th (the combined rogue unit now under Grimm's command often misreported as the "65th Lyran Regulars") to the world of Oberon VI in the coreward periphery. There they lived a life as bandits and laid the foundation for the future Oberon Confederation pirate realm.[2]

Notes
- Original sources usually quote Hendrik Grimm as having commanded the 65th Lyran Regulars. Second Succession War (Sourcebook), the most recent source, named the 6th Lyran Regulars instead. When queried, Assistant Line Developer Ray "Adrian Gideon" Arrastia replied in an official thread in what constitutes an official ruling: There was never a possibility for a 65th, so it had to be addressed. The old logo/nick was for the old 6th, then the “65th” as the combined unit was known."
