During his tenure with the Third Royals, he was charged in the invasion of [[Draconis Combine]] Prefecture capital of [[Buckminster]] in August [[3028]]. For the operation, Roman assembled an oversized [[Regimental Combat Team]], based on House Davion's RCT method of combat. He assembled 39 conventional vehicle & infantry regiments as part of the [[Fourth Succession War]] opening military operations, code name [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]].

On Buckminster, he faced planetary commander General Goshi Tengwan, commander of the [[Second Sword of Light]] BattleMech regiment.  Roman and his forces threw off General Tengwan on what his forces' strategy was.  Using innovation, he landed his forces far south of the prefecture capital city of Buckminster City. He landed on an island off the continent's far south.  Then he employed little used water navy assets to conduct amphibious landings.

He landed on an island to the continent's far south.  Then he employed little used water navy assets to conduct amphibious landings.
  
In the course of the campaign for Buckminster, Roman employed his forces smartly, using unexpected methods of throwing off the General Tengwan's forces.  He employed the use of a special [[DropShip]] squadron known as Elvidner which employed their ''[[Fortress|Fortress's]]'' Long Tom Artillery cannons to wreak havoc with Combine forces.  He also used special 'Mech Lightning Companies to fend off Combine reinforcements until Lyran reinforcement could arrive in December.  However, even with additional forces, the fighting stalled as General Tengwan pull his forces into the Buckminster City.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 53–55: "Early campaign of Roman Steiner's invasion of Buckminster"</ref>  Roman's [[First Provisional Lyran Water Navy]] finally arrived after raiding the continent's coastline to complete a siege of the city which lasted until June of [[3029]]. Hoping to starve enemy out of supplies, he was determined that June was plenty of time to finish off the Second Sword.  However, Roman had his Third Royals penetrate the city and were ambushed by waiting infantry. Northern Combine forces contained since the beginning of siege finally broke out in a daring attack.  Roman's reinforcement in the form of the [[Twentieth Arcturan Guards]], had their rear operating areas smashed by the swift moving [[Sixth Arkab Legion]].  Roman pulled some of the Third Royals from their assault into the city to aid the Twentieth Arcturan.  However, this allowed the Second Sword's 'Mech forces to attack the weakened Lyran forces in the city.  This triggered a rout of Lyran forces from city to higher ground nearby.  Roman, now seeing the prospect of not being able take city nor the planet, ordered a withdrawal of all Lyran forces within days of the attack on the city.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', pp. 72–73: "Roman's Lyran forces are routed from Buckminster"</ref>

After the war, he was promoted to Marshal and the commanding office of military forces of the FedCom's [[Sarna March]] by [[3039]].  He went on to become an aide to Jackson Davion at the Federated Suns Military Command in later 3040s and early 3050s.<ref name=ORp13>''Objective Raids'', p. 13</ref>

Roman became hostile toward his Steiner-Davion cousins during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. His granddaughter, Tabitha, who was serving with the [[First Davion Guards]], died fighting [[Katherine Steiner-Davion|Katherine Steiner-Davion's]] loyalist on [[New Avalon]] in [[3063]]. He blames the ''murder'' of Tabitha squarely on the entire branch of the family.  Later he represents the "royal opposition" to [[Archon]] [[Peter Steiner-Davion]], when the Battle of Tharkad City nearly killed his two great-grandchildren.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 177–178: "Those Who Would Be Archon" - Roman Steiner live and angry during & after the FedCom Civil War</ref>
