With the initial assault going well, and the CCAF units driving the defending garrison hard, Ilsa Liao went to bed after receiving news of other CCAF units assaulting Chesterton, expecting to be woken with good news about assaults on the [[Demeter]] and [[Sanilac]] systems. Instead, she was woken early in the morning with the news that the [[Davion Assault Guards]] were dropping onto Orbisonia, having arrived at a pirate point close to the planet. [[First Prince of the Federated Suns|First Prince]] [[Paul Davion (29th c.)|Paul Davion]] had been moving troops in anticipation of his own invasion of the Confederation, [[Operation DAO]], and Ilsa's offensive had run straight into the teeth of Paul's marshaling forces.<ref name="SSWp27"/><ref name=tpo7/>

Ilsa ordered a general retreat, but the light forces of the Ceti Hussars and Avalon Hussars proved difficult to disengage from, and the Assault Guards landed across the CCAF positions, threatening to turn the retreat into a rout—or a massacre. Ilsa took to the field personally, taking command of the rearguard and refusing to retreat while she covered her withdrawing forces.<ref name="SSWp27"/> The garrison was able to make good use of information provided by AFFS recon and intelligence assets—primarily [[Darter]] scout cars—to outmaneuver and outsmart the attacking Capellan forces. After four days of combat the Capellan forces were retreating from Orbisonia when the AFFS troops acted on intelligence indicating that Chancellor Liao was leading the rearguard personally to launch an aimed strike that killed the Chancellor. Ilsa Liao was the first Chancellor of the [[Capellan Confederation]] to die on the battlefield.<ref name="TRO3075p220"/> Isla died having secured a safe retreat for almost four-fifths of her forces on Orbisonia.<ref name="SSWp27"/><ref name=tpo7/>

The First Battle of Tikonov—dubbed [[Operation LION]] by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]—began on 4 April [[2832]] when an AFFS naval flotilla jumped into the system and captured the recharge station at the nadir jump point in a pitched battle conducted wile AFFS [[WarShip]]s battled a pair of Capellan [[frigate]]s, the [[Jiaxing|CCS ''Jiaxing'']] and [[Zhaoqing|CCS ''Zhaoking'']]. With the station seized and the ''Jiaxing'' scuttled, the [[Second Ceti Hussars]] [[RCT]] dropped onto Tikonov under the command of [[General]] [[H. R. Greer|H. R. "Howler" Greer]] and fought a maneuver war that saw the Hussars capture most of Tikonov within a few weeks. Unfortunately, the Hussars lightweight, mobile nature wasn't suited to either brutal slugging matches or breaking through massive fortifications—and Tikonov had fortifications in abundance. While the Hussars controlled much of the planet and encircled both the major cities, such as Tikograd, as well as the High Kremlin—a massive former SLDF fortress—weeks of bombardment by the Hussars' light artillery couldn't breach the defenses. The defenders were unable to break out through the Hussars lines, and began to run short of food and supplies, but after six months the Hussars faced the arrival of [[CCAF]] reinforcements in the form of the [[Chesterton Reserves]]. With the fortifications on Tikonov potentially acting as an anvil to the Reserves' hammer, Greer chose to withdraw, leaving Tikonov in Capellan hands.<ref name="SSWp35">''Second Succession War'', pp. 35–36: "Crossed Swords"</ref>

In May [[2833]], the Second Ceti Hussars returned to Tikonov, supported this time by the [[Seventeenth Avalon Hussars]] and the [[Ninth Deneb Light Cavalry]], on [[Operation LEOPARD]]—the second major attempt to capture the important industrial world. This time, the AFFS was better prepared, and dropped onto Tikonov with troops, artillery and aircraft suitable for breaking entrenched enemies out of heavy fortifications.<ref name="SSWp35"/>

The AFFS forces managed to break into and capture the High Kremlin after a bloody two-week battle, and proceeded to capture the heavily fortified cities on Krasnodar and Pskov in early June, leaving all of the major population and industrial centers under AFFS control. What the AFFS couldn't do was pin down the surviving elements of the CCAF defending units, who faded into the wilderness and used exactly the same mobile tactics against the AFFS that the Ceti Hussars had used against them the year before. The three AFFS regiments broke down into increasingly smaller elements to try and pin down the CCAF units, and distributed supply caches around the world, only to be foxed by the arrival of the [[Capellan Hussars]] on the 13th of June. The Capellan Hussars destroyed many of the AFFS caches, a setback that the combined AFFS units could probably have overcome with time, but [[MIIO]] passed on intelligence indicating signs of massed CCAF troop movements towards Tikonov, prompting Greer to withdraw the AFFS forces from Tikonov, much to the chagrin of the [[First Prince]], who rewarded Greer with KP duty on [[New Syrtis]] until the end of [[2834]].<ref name="SSWp35"/>

During the [[Jihad]], the Second Ceti Hussars were stationed on the [[Taurian Concordat]]/[[Federated Suns]] border. There they fought the invading Taurian forces for years until they left the Pleiades Cluster. The AFFS High Command ordered the survivors to rotate to [[New Hessen]], where the Second received the survivors of the [[First Ceti Hussars]] and [[Third Ceti Hussars]]. With these survivors the Second quickly rebuilt their combat strength.<ref>''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 10</ref>

In [[3145]], the Second Ceti Hussars were stationed on [[Ronel]], a vital world in the Federated Suns' [[Terran]] Corridor. The Second Ceti had already discouraged three probing attacks from the [[Draconis Combine]] by utilizing their aerospace and fast-attack ground forces, but attrition had begun to wear the unit down. Still, the warriors of the Second Ceti remained in good spirits and were prepared to leap at any opportunities to avenge their sister regiments destroyed at the Combine's hand.<ref name=FM:3145p75>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 75: "Second Ceti Hussars"</ref>

In 3149 they were stationed on [[Ronel]]. They suffered as their maintenance equipment and supplies were reassigned to other AFFS commands. After dealing with multiple [[DCMS]] reconnaissance raids, they were attacked by the [[1st Dieron Regulars]] and [[2nd An Ting Legion]]. Maintenance issues stranded many of the Second Hussars units, and the First Dieron went through them quickly. The Second Ceti Hussars broke, and retreated deeper into the Draconis March.<ref>''Shattered Fortress', p. 72</ref>
