{{infoBoxMilitaryCommand | image = [[File:Lyranguards06th.png]] | Designation = Sixth Lyran Guards RCT | formed = | Disbanded = | Previous Designation = | Nickname = Grenadier-Garde (2765)<ref name="FR2765p13"/><br>Saucy Sixth | Affiliation = [[Lyran Commonwealth]] | Parent Command = [[Lyran Guards]] | Sub-Command = }} ==History== The unit gained their nickname after being discovered smuggling men and women of questionable moral character on their posts during the [[First Succession War]].<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 51: "Regimental nicknames"</ref> === Star League Era === During the Star League era the Sixth 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 Sixth lacked any particular political ties—either regional or familial—unlike regiments in other brigades; commonly assigned to garrison postings, the Sixth 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 Sixth 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 Sixth and the other Guards regiments, but with little success by 2765.<ref name="FR2765p13"/> In [[2758]], the Sixth led an attack on the world of [[Stanley]] in response to a [[Rim Worlds Republic]] attack on the world of [[Mercedes]]. They were engaged by the [[209th BattleMech Division]] of the [[Star League Defense Force]] who defeated the Sixth, but the fighting was relatively brief.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 161: "209th BattleMech Division"</ref> In 2765, the Sixth was stationed on the [[Skondia]], awaiting the outcome of a determination by the Star League on whether or not their use of a nuclear weapon in the upper atmosphere of Toffen III, a [[Draconis Combine]] world, during a raid counted as a violation of the rules of warfare.<ref name="FR2765p13"/> ===Third Succession War=== The Sixth Lyran Guards are famed for the destruction of a [[Marik]] 'Mech factory on the planet [[Ling]] during [[Archon]] [[Alessandro Steiner]]'s [[Deep Raid of 2987]].<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 75: "Allessandro Steiner"</ref> During this raid, the Sixth hit multiple worlds along the [[Free Worlds League]]/[[Capellan Confederation]] border. Though a military success, it provoked a political battle as the troops involved had not been informed of the true scope of the mission or the fact that it would take ten months.<ref name=FMLA77/><ref name=ER3062-34/> The unit defended the planet [[Hesperus II]] against [[Wolf's Dragoons]] during the Thirteenth Battle in ([[3019]]).<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 24</ref><ref>''Hector'', pp. 8, 20</ref> ===Clan Invasion=== During the [[Clan Invasion]] the Sixth was one of the first Lyran units shifted toward the Clan juggernaut, before taking up station on [[Rasalgethi]] after the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]].<ref name=ER3062-34>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 34: "Sixth Lyran Guards RCT (The Saucy Sixth)</ref> The Sixth Lyran Guards were assigned the prototype [[Claymore (Individual Claymore-class DropShip)|FCS ''Claymore'']] in early [[3054]], testing the new vessel during combat raids in the [[Jade Falcon Occupation Zone]] in the same year.<ref name=TRO3057>''Technical Readout: 3057'', p. 12</ref> ===Operation BULLDOG=== The Sixth was part of the Lyran contribution to [[Operation BULLDOG]]. Launching from [[Wolcott]], the Sixth Lyran joined the [[First McCarron's Armored Cavalry|1st McCarron's Armored Cavalry]], the [[Eighth Sword of Light|8th Sword of Light]] and [[Fifth Sun Zhang Cadre]] in striking at [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]-held [[Byesville]] during BULLDOG's second wave,<ref name=TDR-10>"The Dragon Roars, pp. 10–11: "Unit Summaries - Operation Bulldog"</ref> destroying [[Psi Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Psi Galaxy's]] Galaxy Command Trinary and prompting the [[17th Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Seventeenth Jaguar Regulars]] to withdraw and fall back.<ref name=TDR-12>"The Dragon Roars, pp. 12–13: "Unit Summaries - Clan Smoke Jaguar Defense"</ref> As part of the third wave, the Sixth then joined the [[79th Division (ComStar)|Seventy-ninth Com Guard Division]], [[Ryuken-go]], and First MAC in assaulting [[Garstedt]],<ref name=TDR-10/> defended by [[Nu Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Nu Galaxy's]] [[143rd Garrison (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|143rd Garrison Cluster]] and the survivors of the Seventeenth Jaguar Regulars who fled Byesville. While both were second line [[Cluster]]s, the Jaguars proved tougher than expected, with [[Trinary]] Echo of the Seventeenth Regulars holding back the entire SLDF assault force in the Numberg Canyon for more than four hours, allowing the bulk of Smoke Jaguars to flee to the [[Clan Homeworlds]].<ref name=TDR-44>"The Dragon Roars, p. 44: "Wave Three: Bringing Down the Jaguar"</ref><ref name=TDR-48>"The Dragon Roars, pp. 48–49: "Scenario 10: 300 Spartans"</ref> In the fourth and final wave of Operation BULLDOG, the Sixth Lyran traveled with the 79th Division to link up with the [[4th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|4th Wolf Guards Cluster]] in the capture of [[Savinsville]]. With the withdrawal of Clan Smoke Jaguar from the [[Inner Sphere]] and with no hope of rescue, [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Kappa Galaxy's]] [[3rd Provisional Garrison Cluster (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|3rd Provisional Garrison Cluster]] only fought long enough to satisfy its honor before negotiating a [[Trial of Possession]] to be captured by [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]]'s 4th Wolf Guards Cluster.<ref name=TDR-10/><ref name=TDR-52>"The Dragon Roars, p. 52: "Wave Four: Clean-Up"</ref> While performing to the level expected of such an elite unit, [[LIC]] reports submitted by the Sixth after BULLDOG's conclusion indicate that its members arguably paid more attention to intelligence gathering against the Combine than fighting the Smoke Jaguars.<ref name=FMLA77/><ref name=ER3062-34/> ===FedCom Civil War=== During the [[FedCom Civil War]] the Sixth Lyran Guards squared off against the [[Fourth Davion Guards]] and the [[Seventeenth Donegal Guards]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 35</ref> They lost these battles, and several draconian actions taken by their CO, Lt. Gen. [[Seth Alpert]], led several of the subsidiary units to rebel against his authority. After arresting their former CO, the unit's executive officer surrendered the command to the Allies.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 170</ref> ===Jihad=== During the chaos of the [[Jihad]] the Sixth faced off against [[Clan Wolf]] forces on [[Tomans]] in [[3070]]. Deprived of their transport, the Sixth (along with the [[Tamar Cavaliers]]) fought Clan forces until they were too heavily damaged. The few survivors surrendered.<ref>''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 12</ref> ===Dark Age=== The Sixth was rebuilt at some point after the Jihad, but the unit was destroyed during Clan Wolf's attack on [[Tharkad]]. Survivors were absorbed into the [[Eighth Lyran Guards]].<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="3" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 6th Lyran Regulars''' |- |[[Leutnant-General]]||[[Daniel Voss-Steiner]]||[[3025]]<ref name=HSp119>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 119: "Unit deployment table"</ref> |- |Leutnant-General||[[Seth Alpert]]||[[3062]] - [[3063]]<ref name=FMLA77>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 77: "6th Lyran Guards Unit Profile"</ref><ref name=FCCWp68>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 68: "Rasalgethi- Wave One"</ref> |- |Leutnant-General||[[Theodore Hess]]||[[3063]] - [[3067]]<ref name=FCCWp68/><ref name="fmu177">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 177: "Lyran Alliance Deployment Table"</ref> |} ==Tactics== As an experienced unit, the command will take every opportunity to beat an enemy.<ref name=FMLA77/> ==Composition History== ===2765=== '''Sixth Lyran Guards''' (Regiment/Regular/Questionable)<ref name="FR2765p13"/> :- The Sixth was based on Skondia.<ref name="FR2765p13"/> ===2786–2821=== '''Sixth Lyran Guards ''' (Regiment/Regular/Questionable)<ref name=1SWp139>''First Succession War'', p. 139</ref> : Note: At this point in time the medium-weight unit was stationed on [[Skondia]].
