The Lyran Commonwealth is one of the five Successor States of the Star League, located coreward and anti-spinward of Terra. Ruled by House Steiner, the Commonwealth is the wealthiest of the five, with an entrenched and powerful noble class. The focus on pedigree and prestige among the nobility has often resulted in less-than-brilliant officers being elevated to high command, to the detriment of the Commonwealth's military strength. Much of the Commonwealth's success comes from the vast resources located within its borders. The current ruler of the Commonwealth is Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion.
Sub-Commands
6th Lyran Guards
 6th Lyran Guards Unit Rating: Elite |
The 6th Lyran Guards, also known as the Saucy Sixth for their historical habit of entertaining men and women of disrepute, are a proud Lyran unit with a long history. Having served in Operation Bulldog against Clan Smoke Jaguar served to help hone the unit's skills and reputation and now they serve the Lyran throne in the throes of the Federated Commonwealth Civil War.
5th Donegal Guards
 5th Donegal Guards Unit Rating: Regular |
The 5th Donegal Guards were shattered during the Third Succession Wars and languished for decades as a second-rate unit. However, with Katherine Steiner taking the throne of the Lyran Commonwealth and given the 5ths staunch loyalty to her the unit has been swiftly rebuilt and trained up to be a skilled fighting force. Today, the 5th Donegal Guards are a powerful unit in service to the Lyran throne.
15th Lyran Regulars
 15th Lyran Regulars Unit Rating: Garrison |
The 15th Lyran Regulars are a standard Lyran line regiment with a long and distinguished history as a defensive force. However, during Operation Bulldog, the destruction of Clan Smoke Jaguar, the 15th Regulars were tasked with engaging Omega Galaxy. After an extended game of cat-and-mouse, the 15th lifted off, having distracted Omega Galaxy long enough for other units to achieve their objectives.
11th Avalon Hussars
 11th Avalon Hussars Unit Rating: Regular |
The 11th Avalon Hussars is among the oldest military commands of the Federated Suns. However, when Archon Katherine Steiner took control of the Federated Commonwealth in 3060, the 11th was among her most vocal supporters and has sided with Katherine in the Federated Commonwealth Civil War, earning them much enmity from other Federated Suns commands and leadership.
Note: This unit fields Regular rating Federated Suns (Davion) units.
