−	During the [[Star League era]] the '''Fourth Lyran Guards''' were one of ten [[regiment]]s within the [[First Lyran Guards Division]], one of four Divisions of active regiments within the Lyran Guards [[brigade]] in the closing decades of the [[Star League]]'s existence. Like the other regiments of the Lyran Guards, the Fourth's loyalty was technically to the Commonwealth first and the Archon second, but all of the regiments of the 1st Division had been used at one time or another to keep powerful nobles in line.<ref name="FR2765p12">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 12, "Lyran Guards"</ref>	+	During the [[Star League era]] the '''4th Lyran Guards''' were one of ten [[regiment]]s within the [[First Lyran Guards Division|1st Lyran Guards Division]], one of four Divisions of active regiments within the Lyran Guards [[brigade]] in the closing decades of the [[Star League]]'s existence.

	Like the other regiments of the Guards during this era, the 4th lacked any particular political ties — either regional or familial — unlike regiments in other brigades; commonly assigned to garrison postings, the 4th 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 4th and her sister regiments being manned by soldiers who were professional, but without the close-knit ties found in more parochial regiments. The LCAF was intent on generating more camaraderie and ''esprit de corps'' among the 4th and the other Guards regiments, but with little success by 2765.<ref name="FR2765p12"/>		Like the other regiments of the Guards during this era, the 4th lacked any particular political ties — either regional or familial — unlike regiments in other brigades; commonly assigned to garrison postings, the 4th 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.
