Jihad
On February 12, 3071 several asteroids struck Arkab.[3] The 2nd Arkab Legion left their duty station and returned to Algedi to assist in humanitarian relief efforts on the Azami worlds.[4] The 2nd only took this action after the Arkab leadership wasn't able to get any help from the Draconis Combine leadership. Kanrei Kiyomori Minamoto sent several demands and threats to the 2nd Legion and all Arkab leaders, but the Legions refused to leave their homeworlds.
In April 3072 two battalions of the 2nd Legion were destroyed on Algedi by Davy Crockett class tactical nuclear weapons employed by DEST commandos.[5] The DEST teams were deployed to recover DCMS and DCA troops that were taken prisoner by the Arkab Legions when the DCS Siriwan was destroyed after performing an orbital bombardment mission.[6]

As of 3059, the unit was commanded by Tai-sa Sahalli Odessa. Tai-sa Odessa was still in command in 3067.[7]
