While the Tenth Lyran Guards have been on the brink of extinction several times during its existence, the unit has been rebuilt bigger and stronger each time, and is usually first in line for the latest and most advanced equipment.<ref name=ER3052-25>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 25: "Federated Commonwealth - Tenth Lyran Guards RCT (The Revenants)"</ref> === Star League Era === During the [[Star League]] era the Tenth Lyran Guards was one of ten regiments within the [[First 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. By the mid-[[twenty-eighth century]] the First Division was the only Division of the Lyran Guards to be at full strength, and while the Lyran Guards were supposed to be loyal to the Lyran Commonwealth first and the Archon second, the various regiments of the First had been used at various points to keep powerful nobles in line.<ref name="FR2765p13">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', pp. 13–14: "Lyran Guards"</ref> Like the other regiments of the Guards during this era, the Tenth lacked any particular political ties - either regional or familial - unlike regiments in other brigades; commonly assigned to garrison postings, the Tenth 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 Tenth and her sister regiments being manned by soldiers who were professional, but without the close-knit ties found in more parochial regiments. The [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] was intent on generating more camaraderie and ''esprit de corps'' among the Tenth and the other Guards regiments, but with little success by 2765.<ref name="FR2765p13"/> In 2765 the Tenth was one of the more experienced regiments within the Lyran Guards, and was stationed on the Lyran capital, [[Tharkad]].<ref name="FR2765p13"/> === Third Succession War === In [[3024]] the Tenth Lyran Guards faced an equivalent number of troops from the [[Federated Suns]] in wargames on [[New Earth]].<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 8</ref> The results of these wargames, later known as the [[Alliance Games]], provided [[Katrina Steiner]] with the evidence she needed to bring changes to the [[LCAF]]. === Fourth Succession War === During the first wave of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the Tenth Lyran Guards landed on [[Karbala]]. There they faced [[Vandelay's Valkyries]] and twelve conventional regiments. Though they were heavily damaged in the fighting, the Tenth was successful in forcing the Valkyries off the planet.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 50</ref> The Tenth went on to attack [[Lothan]] in the followup and exploitation phase of Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG before joining the [[Twenty-third Arcturan Guards]] in the battle for [[Altenmarkt]] during the final wave of attacks.<ref name="NAIS4SWp44">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 44–45: "Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG"</ref> Their arguably most notable action in the war came when the Tenth was secretly dispatched on a raid against the recently captured world of [[Dromini VI]],<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 79</ref> after Commonwealth intelligence learned that the Draconis Combine was using the planet as a staging area for a massive counterattack that posed a significant threat.

[[Victor Ian Steiner-Davion]], heir to the throne of the [[Federated Commonwealth]], was appointed to the unit as a battalion commander, and proposed a counterstrike against the [[Clan Jade Falcon]]-held world of [[Twycross]]. This resulted in the [[Battle of Twycross]], where the Guards' [[Kai Allard-Liao]] destroyed the [[Falcon Guards]]. The Tenth had the distinction of serving in the first battle the [[Inner Sphere]] won against the Clans.<ref name=ER3052-14>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 14: "Small Victories"</ref><ref name=ER3052-25/> During the Year of Peace, a determined Victor rebuilt the Tenth into the premier anti-Clan unit in the Inner Sphere and they would continue to fight at the forefront of the FedCom efforts against the invaders.<ref name=ER3052-25/> In [[3051]], they fought alongside Victor again on [[Alyina]],<ref>''ClanTroops'', pp. 36–37</ref> again against the Falcons. [[ComStar]] had leaked to the Clans that Victor and the Tenth were on Alyina, and they attempted to trap him there, eager to deprive the Federated Commonwealth of its heir. Shortly after, Victor would lead elements of the Tenth to rescue [[Hohiro Kurita (31st c.)|Hohiro Kurita]] trapped by the Clans on [[Teniente]].<ref name=ER3052-24>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 24: "Federated Commonwealth"</ref> === Post–Clan Invasion === As of [[3055]], the Guards were posted on [[Fort Loudon]], near the tip of the [[Clan Occupation Zones|Jade Falcon Occupation Zone]].<ref name=OR-23>''Objective Raids'', p. 23: "Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth (Deployment as of 3054)"</ref><ref name=TRO3055-72>''Technical Readout: 3055'', p. 72: "Rakshasa"</ref> They likely relocated to [[Tharkad]] when Victor Steiner-Davion became [[Archon-Prince]] upon [[Melissa Steiner-Davion]]'s assassination.{{cn}} === Operation BULLDOG=== Stationed on [[Wolcott]] at the start of [[Operation BULLDOG]] on 13 May [[3059]], the Tenth was naturally part of Prince Victor's "Dream Team" to capture the important target of [[Schuyler]].<ref name=TDR-50>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 11, 50</ref> Suffering only light losses, the Tenth accompanied Victor to [[Huntress]] as part of the relief force to save [[Task Force Serpent]]. After the last-minute rescue of Serpent, the Tenth traveled with Victor to [[Strana Mechty]], providing the bulk of the Federated Commonwealth's representative unit in the [[Great Refusal]]. There they successfully defeated the last vestiges of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] and ensured the end of the Clan Invasion of the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name=TotC-13-50>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 13</ref><ref>''Prince of Havoc'', ch. 10</ref> Upon their return from the [[Clan Homeworlds]] and Victor's transfer to ComStar, his sister [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] virtually dumped the fanatically pro-Victor RCT on the [[Draconis March]] capital world of [[Robinson]], stripping the Tenth of their [[JumpShip]] contingent to strand them there.<ref name=SS-28>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 28: "Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth (Deployments as of 30 December 3061)"</ref><ref name=FMLA-125>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 125: "Lyran Alliance Armed Forces Deployment Tables"</ref><ref name=FCCW-137>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 137</ref> === FedCom Civil War === As of the start of the [[FedCom Civil War]] in [[3062]], the Tenth still remained stranded on Robinson as payback for their continued loyalty to Victor. Duke [[James Sandoval]], ruler of the Draconis March, also refused to assign any JumpShips to the Tenth since they intended to join Prince Victor and thereby leave Robinson undefended. Sandoval also needed the JumpShips for his own private war against his family's longtime enemy, the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name=FCCW-137/><ref>''Patriots and Tyrants'', p. 52</ref> By January of [[3065]], [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[James McFarland]], the commanding officer of the Tenth, had managed to commandeer enough JumpShips to enable his [[RCT]] to leave Robinson in order to assist Prince Victor, who was fighting the [[Loyalist]] forces on [[Tikonov]]. Two jumps away from Robinson, the Tenth's JumpShips were disabled due to sabotage by [[DMI]] agents, ending up at a jump point in the Kentares system.<ref name=FCCW-137/> McFarland quickly discovered that [[Kentares IV]] was under siege by the [[3rd Benjamin Regulars|Third Benjamin Regulars]] of the Combine's [[DCMS]]. The Third had been sent to capture Kentares as part of the [[DCMS Reprisal]], the counterattack in retaliation for Sandoval's unauthorized invasion of the Combine. Since Duke [[Ian Dresari]], a fellow supporter of Prince Victor, and his [[Kentares DMM]] were clearly outnumbered and outgunned by the Third, and since it would take weeks to repair the Tenth's ships, McFarland ordered his RCT to assist Dresari and his DMM in fighting the Combine invaders.<ref name=FCCW-137/> As soon as the Guards landed on Kentares, the Regulars knew they were doomed, since the Tenth Lyran Guards were considered one of the [[Lyran Alliance]]'s most elite RCTs. The Third decided to face certain defeat in the spirit of ''[[bushido]]'', managing to hold off the Tenth for a week after the engaged. In the final battle between the [[Allies|Allied]] Tenth/DMM force and the Combine forces, [[Leftenant General]] [[Reinhardt Steiner]], commander of the Tenth's BattleMech Regiment, fighting side-by-side with Duke Ian, defeated the Third Benjamin Regulars in a mere four hours. The surviving Regulars were incarcerated in a Kentares prison, where they were treated honorably until the end of the Civil War, when they were repatriated to the Combine.<ref name=FCCW-137/> After their campaign on Kentares, the Tenth left that world and finally met up with Prince Victor. In late May of [[3066]], Victor, commanding the Allied task force of the Tenth Lyran Guards and [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[244th Division (ComStar)|244th Division]] (aka "The Prince's Men"), decided to return to Tikonov to continue his fight against the Loyalist forces there, consisting of the guerrilla [[Free Tikonov Movement]] supported by the [[Fifteenth Deneb Light Cavalry]] (commanded by Marshal [[Michael Lipstein]]) and the [[3rd Republican Guards|Third Republican]] (commanded by [[Hauptmann General]] [[John Joseph Atherton]]). Immediately upon landing, the Tenth spearheaded the Allied assault on Tikonov's capital city of [[Tikograd]]. On 24 May 3066, the Tenth surrounded the Republican Guards and forced them to surrender three days later after killing Loyalist senior officer [[Leftenant General]] [[Karl Lopiz]] and his entire command staff. The Allies eventually forced the Loyalists off Tikonov on July 23.<ref name=FCCW-158>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 158–159</ref> Prince Victor had two infantry regiments from the Tenth remain behind along with members of [[House Dai Da Chi]] (who offered their service to Victor), to protect the world from further Loyalist attacks. As soon as Victor and his Allied task force left Tikonov, the personnel from House Dai Da Chi helped the Free Tikonov Movement attack the Tenth's infantry and forced them out of Tikograd. By late March of 3067, Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] of the [[Capellan Confederation]] declared Tikonov to be a protectorate of the Confederation.<ref name=FCCW=173>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 173</ref> On 8 November 3066, the Tenth was part of Prince Victor's Allied force that landed on [[New Avalon]] to unseat Archon Katherine from the throne. On 20 April [[3067]], Katherine surrendered to Victor. The battle for New Avalon and the FedCom Civil War were finally over.<ref name=FCCW=179>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 170</ref> Despite being reduced to 35% of their effective combat strength,<ref name=FMU-179>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 179: "Lyran Alliance Deployment Table"</ref> the Tenth refused to stand down. Instead they pledged to support [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]].<ref name=FMU-170>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 170: "Lyran Guards bio"</ref> === The Jihad === The Tenth chose to remain on New Avalon after the Civil War as part of the new [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]], pledging their loyalty to [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]].<ref name=JTPNA6>''Jihad Turning Points: New Avalon'', p. 6: "Combatants: Tenth Lyran Guards"</ref> In December 3067, the [[Word of Blake]] launched its [[Jihad]] on the [[Inner Sphere]]. While [[WarShips]] bombarded New Avalon, the [[31st Division (Word of Blake)|Thirty-first Division]] landed on-planet and advanced on [[Avalon City]]. The Tenth Lyran Guards were the first unit to oppose the Blakists, engaging them at [[Battle of McCarel Farm|McCarel Farm]]. Despite still being seriously understrength, they managed to inflict significant damage on the Thirty-first before they were forced to pull back. They bought the defenders enough time to regroup and hold the capital city against the invaders.<ref name=JTPNA6/><ref name=JTPNA8>''Jihad Turning Points: New Avalon'', p. 8: "Unwelcome Guests"</ref><ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 102</ref> Unfortunately, casualties to the Tenth were too heavy to make them an effective independent fighting force, and by February [[3068]] they were merged into the [[First Davion Guards]].<ref name=JTPNA6/> === Dark Age === The Tenth was rebuilt after the end of the Jihad, but was destroyed during [[Clan Wolf|Clan Wolf's]] assault upon the Lyran Commonwealth in the early 3140s.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 126</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Tenth Lyran Guards''' |- | [[Hauptmann-General]]||[[Katrina Steiner]]||[[2996]]-[[3001]]<ref name=HW3039p17>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 17</ref> |- | [[Colonel]]||[[Frederick Steiner]]||[[3025]]-[[3029]]<ref name=HSp118>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 118 (PDF version): "Unit Deployment Table"</ref> |- | [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]]||[[Kelly Devers]]||[[3050]]<ref name=20YU-26/> |- | [[Leftenant General]]||[[Milstein (10th Lyran Guards)|Milstein]]||September [[3050]]<ref name=TBFT48>''Payback Time'', p. 48: "Attacker"</ref> |- | [[Archon-Prince]]||[[Victor Steiner-Davion]]||[[3052]]-[[3054]]<ref name=ORp23/> |- | Leftenant General||[[Reinhardt Steiner]]||[[3062]]<ref name=FMLA-78/> |- | Marshal||[[James McFarland]]||[[3067]]<ref name=FMLA-78/><ref name=FCCW-137/><ref name=FMU-179/><ref name=JTPNA6/> |} == Tactics == Every attack by the Tenth Lyran contains waves of overlaying forces.
