==History==
The '''Lyons Skye March Militia''' was probably best known for one of its junior officers: [[Peter Steiner-Davion]], who chose to join this unit rather than a front line RCT. His presence brought the Lyons SMM to the attention of the [[Free Skye Militia]]. During the Bellerive Incident over six hundred Free Skye supporters were killed, and [[Duke]] Peter was made the scapegoat.<ref name="fmla115">''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 115, "Militia Profile"</ref>

When the [[FC]] was broken, the unit changed its name to '''Lyons Freedom Theater Militia''' as it was assigned to a different Theater Militia.

More recently the Lyons FTM has been pushing for the removal of [[Draconis Combine]] peacekeepers from the Lyons Thumb. No information or support from the [[LAAF]] High Command forced Colonel Gardner to seek the help of the [[Free Skye]] movement.<ref name="fmla115"/>

Mercenaries masquerading as the Lyons FTM assaulted [[Imbros III]] and attacked the [[32nd Galedon Regulars]] in [[3062]]. This led to the [[Draconis Combine]] annexing the [[Lyons Thumb]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 108</ref> The Lyons FTM faced the [[4th Nova Cat Regulars (Clan Nova Cat)|Fourth Nova Cat Regulars Cluster]] in [[3063]] during the annexation.<ref>''Hunter or Hunted''</ref>

During the [[FedCom Civil War]] the Lyons FTM was only involved enough to send some combat commands to [[Galatea]] in order to pacify that world. They weren't particularly successful, and were rapidly able to rebuild their losses.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 176</ref> They were based on [[Lyons]] in [[3067]].<ref name=fmup177>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 177</ref>
