Stationed on [[New Home]] when the Liaoist guerrilla cells launched an open revolution in [[3057]], striking almost daily with bombings and killing of civilians. The unit also suffered from those attacks as they frequently hit the unit's personnel and dependents and so further demoralized the Guards' commanders, Marshal [[Vincent Tanner]] and his second in command Leutnant-General Herbert Kingsley who barely managed to keep the government working. Days after declaring martial law and suspending the ineffectual planetary government, Marshal Tanner was assassinated by the ''[[Zhanzheng de Guang]]''. Less than twenty-four hours later New Home heard of [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]'s self proclamation to [[Archon]] of the newly formed [[Lyran Alliance]] and her invitation to all Lyran Troops to return home.

As acting Commander General Kingsley eagerly accepted the invitation but most of the unit preferred to remain on New Home. The new recruits, natives of New Home, and the brutalities of the ''Zhanzheng de Guang'' made the unit more determined to free New Home those Liaoist guerrilla. En route to the Lyran Alliance the 30th mutinied. Led by Leftenant General Delores Whitman, Kingsley's second in command, the Guards returned to New Home but found that the Liaoist revolutionaries had taken control in their absence. Reinforced by BattleMechs and state-of-the-art weapons from the [[Free Worlds League]], the newly christened [[New Home Regulars]], presented the 30th Lyran Guards with a formidable opposition that led to a stalemate.
