The '''Twenty-fifth Arcturan Guards''' were deployed alongside a sister regiment, the [[24th Arcturan Guards|Twenty-fourth]] and the [[Blackhearts]] mercenary unit for the invasion of [[Basiliano]] in the first wave of attacks that marked the beginning of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Basiliano was a small, water poor world made significant purely because of its location on the border between the [[Draconis Combine]] and the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Garrisoning Basiliano at the time were the [[1st Night Stalkers|Night Stalkers]], a [[DCMS]] [[regiment]] that had acquired a degree of notoriety for their raids into the Commonwealth, and the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] were keen to inflict some payback on the Night Stalkers.
 
The '''Twenty-fifth Arcturan Guards''' were deployed alongside a sister regiment, the [[24th Arcturan Guards|Twenty-fourth]] and the [[Blackhearts]] mercenary unit for the invasion of [[Basiliano]] in the first wave of attacks that marked the beginning of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Basiliano was a small, water poor world made significant purely because of its location on the border between the [[Draconis Combine]] and the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Garrisoning Basiliano at the time were the [[1st Night Stalkers|Night Stalkers]], a [[DCMS]] [[regiment]] that had acquired a degree of notoriety for their raids into the Commonwealth, and the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] were keen to inflict some payback on the Night Stalkers.
  
Commanding the Night Stalkers was [[Colonel]] Lloyd McGavin; despite their superior numbers the Lyran forces were outclassed by the Night Stalkers, although the Lightning Companies of the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth allowed the Lyran forces to keep the pressure on the Night Stalkers despite McGavin's efforts to outmaneuver the attackers. After three weeks the Night Stalkers finally ran out of room to maneuver near the city of Padua, after the Lightning Company from the Twenty-fourth managed to distract the Night Stalkers long enough for the Lightning Company from the Twenty-fifth to circle behind them. McGavin made the mistake of getting tied down with the two companies, allowing the heavier elements of the Twenty-fourth and the Blackhearts to encircle his command. With no hope of continuing to hold Basiliano, the Night Stalkers managed to escape, but only through sacrificing a company of heavier [['Mech]]s during their escape.<ref name="NAIS4SWp47">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 47: "Basiliano"</ref>

===The Jihad===
When [[Clan Jade Falcon]] struck at the [[Lyran Alliance]] in [[3069]] the Twenty-fifth was destroyed in the fighting, but the [[LAAF]] quickly rebuilt the regiment and had it back on the front lines by [[3071]], despite the chaos and confusion of the [[Jihad]] and the disruption to the Alliance's military infrastructure. The Twenty-fifth were soon back in combat, stopping an attack by the Falcon's [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] dead in its tracks on [[Great X]].<ref>''Starter: Fist and Falcon'', p. 7</ref> The Twenty-fifth would continue to perform to this high standard throughout the remainder of the Jihad.<ref name="FR:LAAFp10">''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 10: "Arcturan Guards"</ref>

The Twenty-fifth served as a part of [[Operation SCOUR]], the allied coalition to liberate the worlds of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] in [[3077]] and [[3078]], and survived in good order - [[Myra Kellison]], a Lyran journalist syndicated by [[INN]] reported that the Guards were at full strength in mid-August 3078 as the coalition forces traveled towards [[Terra]].<ref name="JHS:Tp94+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 94–95: "Roll Call"</ref> For the invasion of Terra the 25th made up a part of [[Task Force SCYTHE]],<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 96</ref> the Task Force assigned to destroy the Blakist [[SDS]] command centers and eliminate the [[Word of Blake]] command and control systems.

===Post-Jihad Era===
As the LAAF rebuilt in the wake of the Jihad, the Twenty-fifth was used as a source of men and matériel from which to rebuild or re-form other units within the Arcturan Guards. Giving up much for the greater good of the Alliance, elements of the Twenty-fifth were reassigned firstly to reinforce other Arcturan Guards regiments, then elements of the supporting forces were removed as the Twenty-fifth was converted into a [[Light Combat Team]] in the early 3080s. This was followed by some of the unit personnel being reassigned in [[3083]] to form both the newly re-formed [[Twentieth Arcturan Guards]] and the First Donegal Jaegers. Despite effectively being plundered as a source of manpower and supplies, the Twenty-fifth continued to perform to a high standard; when a large pirate raid possibly originating from the [[Rim Collection]] hit the planet [[Halifax]] in [[3084]] or [[3085]], only half of the Twenty-fifth were available to engage the pirates. Despite this, the Twenty-fifth smashed the pirate assault, breaking the battalion-strength combined arms pirate force and leaving the survivors to run with more than a third of their numbers dead on the battlefield.<ref name="FM:3085p98">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 98: "Arcturan Guards"</ref>

In [[3127]] the Twenty-fifth was assigned to assault [[Sappir]]. The world's ruler, ''Graf'' Otto Bendler, tried to create his own Archonette. The Twenty-fifth was the response from the Lyran government. They fought well, but the ''Graf'' was able to escape.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Lyran Commonwealth'', p. 16</ref>
