−	Back in the Lyran Commonwealth, the 6th Lyran Regulars were reformed in the early years of the [[Third Succession War]].  In July [[2868]], the 6th Lyran Regulars were defending the world of [[Wyatt]] against an attack of the [[12th Marik Militia]].  The two units would damage each other enough that they were both disbanded.<ref name=BSLR3>''BattleCorps Scenario: Lead Rainmakers'', p. 3: "Aftermath"</ref>

Once a rising star in the LCAF, Grimm had become increasingly erratic, only saved from court-martial or medical discharged thanks to his ties to [[House Steiner]]. Transferred from the [[Third Lyran Regulars]] to the "safe" Sixth Lyran Regulars, the Sixth's untenable position on Graham IV caused the paranoid Grimm to snap, convinced that [[Archon]] [[Marcus Steiner]] had intentionally abandoned the Sixth to get rid of him. Though mentally unbalanced, Grimm retained the loyalty of those under his command who followed their commander in turning against the Commonwealth and going rogue.<ref name=SSW-81/><ref name=SSW-50/><ref name=HSTLC-56/> The Lyran High Command gave the members of the unit seven days to return home but nothing happened, declaring them renegades and putting a bounty on the unit. Forces from both House Steiner and [[House Marik]] tried several times to collect the bounty but they failed every time, despite his erratic actions Grimm still retained his battlefield prowess and easily fended off their attempts with minimal losses. Grimm even expanded his rogue command after picking up defectors from the shattered [[Fifth Lyran Regulars]], with Grimm's so-called "65th Lyran Regulars" ultimately marauding along the border between the nations for eleven weeks before fleeing into the Periphery.<ref name=SSW-50/><ref name=HSTLC-56/> Grimm led the "65th Lyran Regulars" to the world of [[Oberon VI]] in the [[coreward]] Periphery.
