Prior to the 2740s, the Sword of Light [[brigade]] consisted of a dozen [[BattleMech]] and conventional regiments. [[Coordinator]] [[Takiro Kurita]] reorganized the brigade into five reinforced [[regiment]]s, reinventing them as the "soul of the [[DCMS]]". It is unclear if the '''Sixth Sword of Light''' was still an active regiment after the [[Age of War]] and prior to Takiro's reforms, but the Sixth was an inactive command throughout the remainder of the Star League era.<ref name="FR2765:DCMSp8">''Field Report 2765: DCMS'', p. 8, "Sword of Light"</ref>

The Lyran [[Operation FREEDOM]]  began in February [[2913]] and initially went well, as DCMS commanders were shocked the supposedly inferior Lyran soldiers could launch such an offensive. Personally commanding the [[3rd Royal Guards|Third Royal Guards]], [[Eric Steiner]] led the attack on the planet [[Freedom]], outmaneuvering the Sixth Sword of Light and trapping two battalions of the regiment in a valley facing [[artillery]] and [[aerospace fighter|air support]] fire. After wearing the stunned Kuritans down, Eric personally led his [[BattleMech]] forces into the valley, completely destroying the two Sixth Sword of Light Battalions<ref name=HSLC71>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'' p. 71</ref>.
