During peacetime, the Regulars would then draw down to a much smaller size as a brigade, awaiting the next time they would be called on. The 10th Lyran Regulars had been merged with the [[Seventh Lyran Regulars|7th Lyran Regulars]] in [[2762]], with the 7th being disbanded as a command; this was still causing problems for the 10th in [[2765]], as a number of officers had lost brevet promotions during the merger, leaving a number of sore egos causing friction. At the same time, the Commanding Officer of the [[Twelfth Lyran Regulars|12th Lyran Regulars]] was keeping in regular contact with the command staff of the 10th, as it was widely suspected that the 12th would soon be disbanded and merged into the 10th as the 7th had been.<ref name="FR2765:LCAFp15">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 15, "Lyran Regulars"</ref>+ By the early [[31st century]], the 10th Lyran Regulars had developed a reputation for hard drinking, hence their unfortunate nickname. <ref name=HSLC77/> − === Second Succession War===+ When [[Archon]] [[Alessandro Steiner]] began [[Operation Concentrated Weakness]] in [[3002]], it encouraged the [[Free Worlds League Military]] into aggressively attacking [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] worlds.

To that end, the 10th Lyran Regulars, then a Veteran unit, were paired with the [[6th Donegal Guards]] and sent to attack the planet [[Denebola|Denebola V]].

When the 2nd Crucis left the planet, they found themselves in a strange position. Although they faced no military opposition on Cavanaugh II, that world was the seat of power to [[General]] [[Richard Steiner II|Richard Steiner]], son of General [[Nondi Steiner]] and commander of the Cavanaugh Theater. Richard Steiner attempted to ensure Leftenant General Darrel Ingles that he was loyal to the Alliance as a whole rather than to either claimant, all the while attempting to gather forces to crush the "mutinous" 10th. <ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', pp. 84, 144</ref> |

When Steiner began micromanaging the CTM in their battle with the Hussars, they were defeated and forced to withdraw. <ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', pp. 161-162</ref> |

Elements of the 7th defected to the 10th after General Steiner executed their commanding officer.

By now, most of the [[Loyalist (FCCW)|Loyalists]] were completely demoralized, having been ordered to fight to the death, most quickly surrendered. Steiner himself, however, evacuated before he could be captured, fleeing the planet on a [[Dropship]]. The 10th Lyran Regulars had taken heavy losses, but had emerged victorious in one of the most important battles of the conflict. <ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', pp. 174-175, 183</ref> |
