Line 27: Three months after the unit became operational, a battalion of the [[Blackwind Lancers]] launched their illegal attack against [[Hustaing]] and triggered what would be known later as the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]]. The Brigade first action of the war, came when they were deployed to reinforce Compact forces on [[Denbar]]. Initially, the 2nd Janissaries' assault against [[Marshigama's Legionnaires]] went well against the Capellan regiment. However, Warrior House units counters Janissaries' assault with unexpectedly furious counterattack that threw the brigade back. The Brigade learned to adapt and was able to counter Warrior House's gains with its Battle Armor infantry. In the end this was not enough to hold the planet for the Compact and the Brigade was forced to withdraw from Denbar after seven months of fighting. Some of Denbar's Home Guard Aerospace unit was absorbed by the Janissaries' 288th Aerospace Wing.
