The '''Lyran Expeditionary Force''', the group of [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] units that served with the [[Star League Defense Force]],<ref name=H:RWp40>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 40</ref> was referred to as the '''Lyran Auxiliary Corps''' during [[Operation MAILED FIST]] of the [[Reunification War]].<ref name=H:RWp129>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 129</ref>

The Lyran Auxiliary Corps consisted of the following units:<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 129</ref>
The Lyran Expeditionary Force was led by [[Archon]] [[Viola Steiner-Dinesen]] at the head of the [[Fourth Royal Guards]], along with the [[Twenty-fifth Skye Rangers]] and [[Tamar Tigers]].<ref name=H:RWp40/><ref name=HSTLCp32>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 32</ref>
 
  
Though the Lyran Auxiliary Corps operated well and was effective in completing their assigned tasks, only the Fourth would remain in the field for the entirety of the Reunification War. The Archon's son [[Kevin Steiner-Dinesen|Kevin]] was kidnapped, and when evidence came to light implicating the Dukes of [[Duke of Skye|Skye]] and [[Duke of Tamar|Tamar]], she mounted her ''[[Warhammer]]'' and attacked the base camp of the Rangers and Tigers on [[Barcelona]]. The Rangers and Tigers were completely unprepared for the attack and suffered heavy losses. The Archon was also injured, and spent most of June and July [[2591]] in a coma. Eventually SLDF forces arrived and separated the combatants, but the damage was done. The Skye Rangers and Tamar Tigers withdrew from the task force citing their unwillingness to fight for the Archon.<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 137-138</ref>

At the end of the war, Steiner-Dinesen was placed in operational command of the landings on [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]]. Her objective was the capital city of [[Apollo (system)#Planetary Locations|Terra Prime]], where the [[Rim Provisional Government]] was fortified. The Fourth Royal Guards faced a tough fight, first clearing rings of gun emplacements and bunkers around the capital and then facing off against the [[Seventh Amaris Legionnaires]] and [[Eighth Amaris Dragoons]], who were bottled up and well supplied while the Fourth was out in bad monsoon weather. Though the Archon devised a clever plan to lure the rebels out of the city into a trap of waiting SLDF, [[Free Worlds League Military]], and [[Republican Guards (Rim Worlds Republic)|loyal Amaris]] forces, a communications glitch delayed the reinforcements and the Fourth was nearly destroyed. The Archon would be mortally wounded and died shortly after returning home to [[Tharkad]].<ref name=H:RWp139>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 139</ref><ref name=TPp43>''The Periphery'', p. 43</ref>

The Skye Rangers and Tamar Tigers returned to their homeworlds, and the Lyran Auxiliary Corps was dissolved.<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 137-138</ref>
