−	When the [[FedCom Civil War]] finally broke out in [[3063]], the 10th Lyran Regulars were still on Cavanaugh II.

{{infoBoxMilitaryCommand | image = [[Image:Lyranregulars10.png]] | Designation = 10th Lyran Regulars | formed = | Disbanded = | Previous Designation = | Nickname = Stinging Barflies | Affiliation = Lyran Commonwalth | Parent Command = [[Lyran Regulars]] | Sub-Command = }} The '''10th Lyran Regulars''' was a [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]] in service to [[House Steiner]]. <ref name=HSLC77>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 77</ref> ==History== === Star League Era === The regiments of the Lyran Regulars were prone to being disbanded and reactivated as needed; each time a regiment was reactivated, it would be populated with a mix of reenlisted veterans and fresh recruits, before being assigned to a garrison posting to free up a line regiment for active service. 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> === Second Succession War=== In [[2855]] the unit engaged the [[First An Ting Legion]] on [[Tukayyid]].<ref name=LoS-2>''Lady of Steel'', p. 2</ref> === Third Succession War === By the early [[thirty-first century]], the 10th Lyran Regulars had developed a reputation for hard drinking, hence their unfortunate nickname. <ref name=HSLC77/> When [[Archon]] [[Alessandro Steiner]] began [[Operation Concentrated Weakness]] in [[3002]], it encouraged the [[Free Worlds League Military]] into aggressively attacking [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] worlds. Archon [[Katrina Steiner]] took the throne in [[3007]] and was committed to reversing this trend, and ordered a series of counterattacks. To that end, the 10th Lyran Regulars, then a veteran unit, were paired with the [[Sixth Donegal Guards|6th Donegal Guards]] and sent to attack the planet [[Denebola|Denebola V]]. Unfortunately, Denebola was far more heavily defended than the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] had been led to believe. Unsupported, the two sides wound up spending several years fighting a war of attrition. <ref name=FMLA92>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 92, "10th Lyran Regulars Unit Profile"</ref> By [[3025]], the Lyran Regulars were still based on Denebola, unable to take the planet but unwilling to withdraw. <ref name=HSLC119>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 119, "Deployment Table - 3025"</ref> Well after the end of the [[Third Succession War]], the Lyran and [[House Marik]] governments mutually agreed to end the fighting, and the Lyran troops left Denebola in Marik hands. Though not technically considered a failure, the Regulars were nevertheless demoralized by the campaign, a state of affairs that continued for decades. <ref name=FMLA92/> The Regulars were then charged with defending the world of [[Penobscot]] on the [[Free Worlds League]] border. <ref name=NAISV1-44>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 44</ref> ===Fourth Succession War=== At the start of the [[Fourth Succession War]] in [[3028]], the 10th Lyran Regulars were still based on Penobscot. <ref name=NAISV1-44/> Penobscot was not targeted by the Free Worlds League during [[Fourth Succession War#Operation: Dagger|Operation DAGGER]], and the 10th Lyran Regulars wound up seeing no action during the conflict. <ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 63</ref> ===War of 3039=== Prior to the [[War of 3039]], the Regulars were based on [[Timbiqui]]. They were briefly moved to [[Ryde]] in preparation for possibly joining the invasion. When the [[War of 3039#DCMS Counterinvasion - Operation OROCHI|Combine counterattacked]], those future invasion plans were called off. The 10th Lyran were returned to Timbiqui. <ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 137</ref> ===Clan Invasion=== When the [[Clan Invasion]] hit in [[3050]], the 10th Lyran Regulars were still based on Timbiqui. Now part of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]], they were part of the new [[Tamarind March]] command. <ref name=20YU28>''20 Year Update'', p. 28, "AFFC Deployment Table - 3050"</ref> They were not called up to the front lines, and remained on Timbiqui as of [[3054]]. <ref name=OR20>''Objective Raids'', p. 20, "AFFC Deployment Table - 3054"</ref> Although the 10th maintained its Regular troop rating, they had gone decades without seeing any true combat aside from the occasional raid. <ref name=FMLA92/> ===Lyran Alliance=== When the [[Lyran Alliance]] seceded from the Commonwealth, the 10th Lyran Regulars naturally went with them. After some lobbying, they were given a high-profile assignment defending [[Cavanaugh II]]. They were also given better support at this point, receiving the permanent attachment of a [[Combat Vehicle|Tank]] Regiment and an [[Infantry]] Regiment. <ref name=FMLA92/> ===FedCom Civil War=== When the [[FedCom Civil War]] finally broke out in [[3063]], the 10th Lyran Regulars were still on Cavanaugh II. After a visit by the [[Second Crucis Lancers|2nd Crucis Lancers]], they openly declared themselves for [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s [[Allies (FCCW)|Allies]]. 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 (31st c.)|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> In the Summer of [[3065]], General Steiner succeeded in ordering the [[1st Bolan Jaegers|1st Bolan Jaegers]] and the [[Seventh Lyran Regulars|7th Lyran Regulars]] to Cavanaugh II to crush the 10th Lyran Regulars. The Regulars' strong defensive position and knowledge of the local terrain combined with Richard Steiner's gross mishandling of the situation turned what might have been a quick battle into a major campaign. Soon, elements of [[ComStar]]'s [[182nd Division (ComStar)|182nd Division]] joined with the allies after Steiner ordered them attacked.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', pp. 144-145</ref> In May of [[3066]], the battle for Cavanaugh II was still ongoing, and beginning to turn in favor of the Allies. The 10th Lyran Regulars had managed to goad the Regulars into a series of ill-advised attacks on their reinforced positions, inflicting significant losses on the 7th Regulars. Later the [[Penobscot Cavanaugh II Theater Militia|Penobscot CTM]] joined on Richard Steiner's side with the [[Forty-second Avalon Hussars|42nd Avalon Hussars]] joining the Allies. 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> By September, the Allies had the advantage of air power and numbers while the 7th Regulars and Penobscot CTM were on the verge of collapse. Elements of the 7th defected to the 10th after General Steiner executed their commanding officer. By February [[3067]], the Allies were finally ready to crush Margrave Steiner's force, liberating the capital. 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> In the aftermath of the war, the 10th Lyran Regulars were largely shunned by the rest of the [[Lyran Regulars]] Brigade, who considered them traitors for siding against Katherine.<ref name=FMU171>''Field Manual: Updates'' p. 171</ref> They remained on [[Cavanaugh II]] at roughly 60 percent strength.<ref name=FMU179>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 179, "LAAF Deployment Table - 3067"</ref> ===Jihad=== In March [[3068]], during the [[Jihad]], Lyran forces loyal to the [[Isle of Skye]] and to Duke [[Robert Kelswa-Steiner]] [[Operation Broken Fist|launched attacks on the Free Worlds League]], quickly conquering the worlds of [[Megrez]], [[Cascade]] and [[Togwotee]]. It was believed these attacks were launched from [[Ford]] and Loric, and it was suggested the 7th and 10th Lyran Regulars on Cavanaugh II might soon take part in future attacks. <ref>''Dawn of the Jihad'', p. 77</ref> In September of 3068, Cavanaugh II was assaulted during a counterattack by the Free Worlds League Military, particularly forces under the command of [[Jeremy Brett]]. <ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'' p. 19</ref> Fighting on Cavanaugh was still ongoing in late [[3069]]. <ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'' p. 72</ref> The 10th Regulars were able to withdraw from the world after taking nearly 40% casualties. They were then reassigned to garrison [[Bolan]], where they remained in [[3079]].<ref name="frla13">''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 13</ref> Several politicians attempted to lure the 10th into another large assault late in the Jihad, but the 10th declined.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 102</ref> In 3085 they took up garrison duties on [[Blumenort]].<ref name=FM3085p108/> ==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 3rd Lyran Regulars''' |- |[[Leutnant-General]] |[[Galway Ashbery]]<ref name=HSLC119/> |[[3025]] |- |Leutnant-General |[[Gary Terlecki]]<ref name=20YU28/> |[[3050]] |- |Leutnant-General |[[Darrel Ingles]]<ref name=OR20/><ref name=FMLA92/><ref name=FMU179/> |[[3054]] - [[3067]] |- |Leutnant-General |[[Elizabeth Lutz-Kellon]]<ref name=FM3085p108>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 108, "LAAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> |[[3085]] |} ==Tactics== The 10th Lyran Regulars had spent several years fortifying defensive positions on Cavanaugh II, including [[Minefield (CCG - Counterstrike)|minefields]] and other battlefield obstacles.<ref name=FMLA92/> ==Composition History== === 2765 === '''10th Lyran Regulars''' (Regiment/Green/Reliable)<ref name="FR2765:LCAFp15"/> :- At this point in time the Tenth were based on [[Firenze]].<ref name="FR2765:LCAFp15"/> === 2786 - 2821=== '''10th Lyran Regulars ''' (Regiment/Green/Reliable) <ref name= FSSp139 >''First Succession War'', p. 139</ref> : Note: At this point in time the heavy-weight unit was stationed on [[Firenze]].
