The fight lasted several weeks, but Loyalists were ultimately successful in driving a heavily damaged Cavalry from the planet. Later, the unit was moved to [[Blue Hole]], and after that, to [[Kikuyu]], where they faced the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] incursion. On 7 July [[3064]], during the Falcon's assault, Storm made a last-ditch stand on a hill, holding the Falcons to win his people time to evacuate. One after another, the defenders were killed, saving Storm himself for last. In the battle, the city they defended was torched and reduced to ruins. The Colonel had ignored the advice about the madness to fight at the other side of the city, too far from their DropShips, and the unit payed dearly for the mistake. The unit was considered effectively destroyed on that planet and their command was wiped out. Only two MechWarriors, the brothers Lieutenant [[Timothy Rivenberg]] and Sergeant [[Andrew Rivenberg]], both assigned to command company, managed to board the group's two DropShips with their 'Mechs, a battered ''[[Stalker]]'' and a ''[[Salamander (BattleMech)|Salamander]]'' and evacuate, with the techs and regiment's families. + Going into the [[FedCom Civil War]], the unit was firmly loyal to [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]].
