The Lyran Alliance Armed Forces, also known by the unfortunately acronym of LAAF, is the military arm of the Lyran Alliance. Formed from Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth's Lyran State Command, the LAAF promotes a return to the military and tactical style of the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces.

Units of the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces
The bulk of the LAAF TOE consists of pre-existing LCAF units who returned home upon the break-away of the Alliance from the Federated Commonwealth, though a small number of new and renamed formations exist. Only BattleMech or mixed units are listed below - associated conventional assets are considered attached to these commands for convenience.
As of 1st August 3067, the status of the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces was a follows.[1] (Notes as for status during the Jihad era will be added if available. Also note that units with low strength are considers 'destroyed'.)
Lyran Corps Formed After the Dissolution of the Federated Commonwealth
Alliance Guards
The Alliance Guards were formed from those Federated Commonwealth Corps RCTs who chose to remain in the Alliance after the break-away were renamed under the banner of the Alliance Guards. The brigade has not been re-equipped, and uses mostly outdated war materiel.
At their height, the Guards had five RCTs:
- 1st Alliance Guards (disbanded - material went to the Alliance Jaegers)
- 2nd Alliance Guards (disbanded - material went to the Alliance Jaegers)
- 3rd Alliance Guards - 40%
- 4th Alliance Guards - 85%
- 5th Alliance Guards - 55%
Alliance Jaegers
Founded in the wake of the formation of the Lyran Alliance, the Alliance Jaegers were an effort to boost Lyran nationalism, with a Jaeger unit for each of the original provinces of the Lyran Commonwealth.[2]
The Alliance Jaegers were formed in 3057 as part of Archon's Order 5730023, which brought sweeping changes to the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces. The order called for five new units, with each one drawing their troops exclusively from their designated province. This was intended to be a source of pride for each of the newly minted provinces.
There are five Alliance Jaegers RCT's in 3067:
- 1st Alarion Jaegers - 15%
- 1st Bolan Jaegers - 35%
- 1st Coventry Jaegers (destroyed during FedCom Civil War)
- 1st Donegal Jaegers - 110%
- 1st Skye Jaegers - 40%
Pre-existing Lyran Commonwealth Corps
Arcturan Guards
The Arcturan Guards were the first Lyran national unit mustered to defend the nascent Lyran Commonwealth. Named for the original capital world of the Commonwealth, the Arcturan Guards traditionally recruited a plurality of their soldiers from Arcturus. However, these recruitment practices have been relaxed, especially because Arcturus is now mostly abandoned.
There have been many Arcturan Guards regiments. The longest-serving are listed below:
- 8th Arcturan Guards (destroyed during Operation Revival)
- 11th Arcturan Guards - 20% - (destroyed during the Blakist attack on Tharkad)[3]
- 15th Arcturan Guards - 55%
- 17th Arcturan Guards - 20%
- 19th Arcturan Guards - 30%
- 20th Arcturan Guards - 55%
- 23rd Arcturan Guards - 20%
- 24th Arcturan Guards (destroyed during Operation Revival)
- 25th Arcturan Guards - 100%
Lyran Guards
The Lyran Guards were the second Lyran brigade mustered after the formation of the Lyran Commonwealth. Unlike the Arcturan Guards, the Lyran Guards recruited soldiers from across the Commonwealth, and, second only to the Royal Guards, is the most prestigious commission in the LCAF. At its zenith, the Lyran Guards numbered 60 regiments.
Prior to the Jihad, there were fifteen Lyran Guard RCT's on the rolls:
- 1st Lyran Guards (destroyed on Orkney by Clan Jade Falcon)
- 3rd Lyran Guards - 75%
- 5th Lyran Guards - 25%
- 6th Lyran Guards - 20%
- 10th Lyran Guards - 35% - (merged with 1st Davion Guards in February 3068)[4]
- 11th Lyran Guards (disbanded after Operation Serpent?)
- 13th Lyran Guards (deserted)
- 14th Lyran Guards - 40%
- 15th Lyran Guards - 35%
- 19th Lyran Guards (destroyed on Jabuka by Clan Steel Viper)
- 24th Lyran Guards - 40%
- 26th Lyran Guards
- 30th Lyran Guards (deserted)
- 32nd Lyran Guards - 25%
- 36th Lyran Guards - 55%
Lyran Regulars
Originally a Lyran national brigade (mustered, dibanded and remustered) used for hopeless missions, the Lyran Regulars were raised from Lyran veterans, hired mercenaries, the remnants of the Rim Worlds Republic Military, and the remnants of the SLDF which remained in Lyran space. The Lyran Regulars lack patronage, and specialize in tactics considered "unorthodox" within the LAAF. As such, the Lyran Regulars are the only brigade lacking a political agenda. The modern Lyran Regulars are basically a training cadre, and are poorly equipped.
The Lyran Regulars consisted of ten RCT's for many years:
- 1st Lyran Regulars (destroyed during Operation Revival)
- 3rd Lyran Regulars - 10%
- 4th Lyran Regulars - 80%
- 5th Lyran Regulars
- 7th Lyran Regulars - 40%
- 8th Lyran Regulars - 100%
- 9th Lyran Regulars - 55%
- 10th Lyran Regulars - 60%
- 11th Lyran Regulars - 60%
- 15th Lyran Regulars - 75%
Royal Guards
The Lyran Royal Guards are the best equipped and most prestigious brigade within the LAAF, but mostly serve as the protectors of the Lyran government. Each unit within the Royal Guards recruits by invitation only from soldiers of a particular parent state. The Royal Guards are also tasked with the protection of the Archon or Archon-Designate, and the Triad. In fact, the BattleMechs that stand constant garrison over the Lyran throne room are elements of the 1st Royal Guards.
Though at one point there were four regiments, the Royal Guards have only had three regiments since 2848. These regiments are:
- 1st Royal Guards - 15%
- 2nd Royal Guards - 10%
- 3rd Royal Guards - 10%
- 4th Royal Guards (destroyed on Caledonia, 2848)
State-Sponsored Corps Predating the Lyran Commonwealth
Donegal Guards
The Donegal Guards predate the formation of the Lyran Commonwealth. Originally the defensive force of the Protectorate of Donegal, the Donegal Guards are a large and well supplied unit, mostly because the Protectorate of Donegal was not ravaged by the Succession Wars. Donegal Guards fight with dogged determination. At its zenith, the brigade numbered 20 BattleMech regiments and an additional 80 regiments of conventional forces.
Currently there are fourteen Donegal Guards regiments on LAAF rolls, though several of them were destroyed in the Clan Invasion and Jihad, and more were destroyed in the FedCom Civil War:
- 2nd Donegal Guards - 75%
- 3rd Donegal Guards - 85%
- 4th Donegal Guards - 10%
- 5th Donegal Guards - 5%
- 6th Donegal Guards - 10%
- 7th Donegal Guards - 55%
- 8th Donegal Guards - 15% - (destroyed during the Jihad)
- 10th Donegal Guards (destroyed during Operation Revival)
- 11th Donegal Guards - 20%
- 12th Donegal Guards (destroyed during Operation Revival)
- 13th Donegal Guards - 15%
- 14th Donegal Guards - 40%
- 17th Donegal Guards - 65%
- 24th Donegal Guards (destroyed during Operation Revival)
Skye Rangers
Predating the Lyran Commonwealth, the Skye Rangers were the military of the Federation of Skye. The Skye Rangers have maintained close ties to its parent state, recruiting almost exclusively from the Federation. As such, the unit frequently sides with the Duke of Porrima, not the Archon. Therefore, the brigades loyalties are questionable.
The Skye Rangers have had five regiments on the rolls of the LCAF and LAAF:
- Skye Guards - 70%
- 4th Skye Rangers - 55%
- 10th Skye Rangers (dissolved after the Battle of Coventry)
- 17th Skye Rangers - 10%
- 22nd Skye Rangers - 15%
State Corps/Brigades
Tamar Cavaliers
The Tamar Cavaliers are a recently mustered unit. Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner raised the unit from his only fortune, with the mandate of liberating Tamar Pact worlds from The Clans. The Cavaliers use a red a silver paint scheme.
- Tamar Cavaliers - 100%
Militias
All Militias use pale blue with region-specific highlights. Derived from the March Militia system used during the time of the Federated Commonwealth, these RCTs are drawn from the best of the militia troops from each world in their province or theater.
Province Militias
The Province Militias are the interior garrison forces of the LAAF. They take their name from the name of the Province's capital world. Abbreviations: APM, Alarion Province Militia; BPM, Bolan Province Militia; CPM, Coventry Province Militia.
(APM, Alarion; BPM, Bolan; CPM, Coventry; SPM, Skye; DPM, Donegal - there is no DPM as of 3062)
- Alarion APM - 40%
- Carlisle APM - 65%
- Furillo BPM - 60%
- Coventry CPM - 35%
- Nekkar SPM - 95%
Theater Militias
The Theater Militias are militia units used to provide border defenses. Like the Province Militias, they take their name from the capital world of the theater that they're responsible for protecting.

Destroyed Militia Units
During Operation Revival the Clans destroyed most of the Tamar March Militia (TMM) units. With the loss of much of the Tamar Province to Clan Wolf and the destruction of the Federated Commonwealth, these units weren't reconstituted. Instead their equipment and troops were used to build up the Freedom Theater Militia and Arc-Royal Theater Militia.

- Buena War College Training Battalion - 100%
- Pandora College Training Battalion - 30%
- Royal New Capetown Training Battalion - 100%
- Somerset Academy Training Battalion (destroyed by Clan Jade Falcon)

- Tamar (destroyed by the Clans)
- Tikonov (deserted during Operation Guerrero)
- Sarna (deserted during Operation Guerrero)
Former Brigades
Tikonov Republican Guard
Formed from the remnants of the CCAF stationed within the former Tikonov Commonality, the Tikonov Republican Guard was the garrison of the Tikonov Free Republic. When the TFR joined the Federated Commonwealth after the assassination of Lord Pavel Ridzik, the Republican Guard units were absorbed into the AFFC as part of the LCAF.[citation needed]
At their height, the Tikonov Republican Guards consisted of five regiments. One regiment was destroyed during Operation Guerrero, while another deserted. The remaining three regiments were destroyed in the FedCom Civil War.
The Tiknonov Republican Guard consisted of five regiments:
- 1st Tikonov Republican Guards (destroyed during FedCom Civil War)
- 2nd Tikonov Republican Guards (destroyed during FedCom Civil War)
