The Lyran Irregulars' first notable action was to rescue [[Claudia Steiner]], the [[Grand Duchess of Furillo]], from pirate kidnappers some time in the late 3070s. The battalion's rescue action greatly increased the fame of their commander, [[Rüdiger Steiner]], the Grand Duchess' brother, for his skill in the cockpit.<ref name=TRO3085p109>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 109 </ref>

Following their successful rescue of the Grand Duchess, Rüdiger and his battalion began patrolling the Lyran Alliance's Periphery border. Though he seemed to be operating on his own initiative, [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic]] intelligence believed he had House Steiner's best interests in mind. <ref name=FR:LAAFp18></ref>

When [[Diego Widmer]] attempted to form his own breakaway state in the [[Dark Age]], the Irregulars were sent to retake the planet of [[Valloire]]. Despite the unit being a private noble force,<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 132</ref> their commanding officer, [[Kommandant]] [[Ludwig Steiner]], was placed in command of the operation. A mixed force of the Irregulars and elements of the [[Second Buena Guards]] and [[Carlisle APM|Carlisle Buena Province Militia]] made landfall on 6 June, 3147. The task force initially claimed a reservoir outside Valloire's Sisku City, but were dislodged after a failed attempt to seize the spaceport. Steiner led his troops in a retreat, circling around and capturing Sisku City. Valloire was back in Lyran hands on 10 July as the Irregulars' raiding campaign drove the Collective forces offworld with a little over a lance of working 'Mechs. <ref name=SFp42>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 42</ref>

Over the next several years, the Lyran Irregulars continued to operate in support of Trillian Steiner's government on Tharkad. Their demonstrated loyalty to the Archon was one of several factors leading to Ludwig Steiner being promoted to the post of [[Margrave of Florida Theater]] in 3151.<ref name=ic112>''ilClan (sourcebook)'', p. 112</ref>

* As the unit is a private force rather than one that operates under normal LCAF command, it has not been given a full composition breakdown in Field Manuals or other similar materials.
