They were stationed on the world of Kessel and were attacked by the Second Donegal Guards, the Eleventh Lyran Regulars and the Fourth Skye Rangers during the opening moves of the War of 3039. While heavily outnumbered, the Twelfth put up a spirited defense of the planetary capital, Sverdlovsk, and then apparently fled offworld. However, the Twelfth had only gone into hiding while only the unit's DropShips left Kessel. Later that year, the Twelfth would reveal themselves to raid Lyran positions as well as link up with the Second Sword of Light and the Fifth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre to drive the Lyrans off of Kessel[6][7]
