Katherine Steiner stepped down from office in [[2445]], handing over her chain and rank pin of Archon on Alistair.  After coming into office, student protesters on [[Fatima]] rioted and attacked the Lyran Commonwealth's embassy and civil service offices on the planet.  Rumors spread that Archon's younger half-brother, Duke Michael Reynolds was responsible.  However, Alistair's had a very strong relationship with him, and he did not believe Michael had anything to do with it.

It was during this time that he ascended to the throne, that senior Steiner officers had uncovered leads on number a worlds being taken by the Free Worlds League and Draconis Combine. Alistair revived and revised his plan to conduct a raid on Hesperus II to claim BattleMech technology.  He assembled a 25 man special commando team led by a Colonel Simon Kelswa.

The Colonel following the Archon's plan.  They conducted their operation on February 7th, [[2455]] using a DropShip accident near the factory in order to cover their infiltration and capture of the plans for the Terran Hegemony's BattleMech project.  Kelswa and his men were rewarded for this daring raid against the factory by the Archon. Alistair quickly and secretly moved to have the ''Mackie'' put into production at many of Commonwealth's factories.

During this time, the Free Worlds League's [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Geralk Marik]] conducted a bloody campaign into the Commonwealth, capturing the worlds of [[Alula Australis]] and [[Bella I]].  He then moved to expand his campaign on [[Loric]].  The world's tough defenses kept Marik campaign bogged down for three years.<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. ??: "The Bloodthirsty General article" - Captain-General Geralk Marik gets bogged by Loric's tough defenses</ref><ref name=H:HSp20>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 20: "Turning the Tide"</ref>

In [[2459]], Alistair sent in his secret weapon, Lyran copies of the ''Mackie'' BattleMech.  League forces were surprised and shocked when their artillery and other weapons proved to be useless against the giant war machines.  In the dawn hours of the Battle of Loric, Marik forces were destroyed in less than hour and Gerald Marik he was dead by the foot of a BattleMech.<ref name=H:HSp20/><ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. ??: "The Bloodthirsty General article" - Geralk attempts to attack southern continent held by Lyran forces prove to be his last act, as Lyran 'Mech stomped into history</ref>

However, the time of the Commonwealth's advantages was coming to an end. Alistair was advised that through a Combine raid on [[Coventry]]'s 'Mech factory and the defection of factory workers to the League. That he needed to take advantage of their new technology soon. The enemies of the Commonwealth would within a half decade field 'Mechs of their own.  Alistair organized and mustered regiments of BattleMechs, planning a two-front campaign into both the Combine and the League called later as the [[Long March Offensive]] in [[2463]].

One of the outcomes of the notification of the inevitable spread of BattleMech knowledge was Alistair's decision to sell the information to the [[Rim Worlds Republic]].<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 5'', p. 4</ref>
