Three months before the Invasion of the Inner Sphere was announced, the commander of the 328th was killed in a [[Trial of Possession]].  Most of the Command Nova was involved in the Trial as well and the unit took heavy losses.  This led to lower morale as the unit recovered.  This was when [[Athen Kederk]] was transferred from the [[4th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|4th Wolf Guards]] [[Cluster]] to take command of the unit.  At first, the unit did not take well to Athen's promotion.  However, the unit's performance did not suffer from the unit's dissent.  Also, upon assuming command, Athen steered the unit's politics toward the [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] faction.<ref name=WCS78>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 78: "Notes"</ref>

The 328th's first action during the invasion would be the attack on Verthandi. [[Verthandi]] was conquered by [[Clan Wolf]] during [[Operation Revival]] in May [[3050]]. At the time the planet was defended by the Second Battalion of the [[2nd Kell Hounds]] and the Third Battalion of the [[2nd Drakøns (Free Rasalhague Republic)|Second Drakøns]], along with the [[Verthandi Militia|4th Verthandi Armored Infantry Brigade]]. It was decided that an attempt would be made to gather as much information about these mysterious invaders as possible, and so a number of recording devices were planted all across Prince William Island. When [[Star Colonel]] [[Athen Kederk]] of the [[328th Assault (Clan Wolf)|328th Assault]] made his ''[[batchall]]'' to the defenders, the Kell Hounds and Drakøns requested that the small forested island be designated as the battlefield.  The Star Colonel agreed, impressed by their ability to honor the ''batchall'', and attacked with the 328th's [[Supernova (unit)|Supernova Battle]]. Five hours of fierce fighting took place across the island, on Onegin Shore, the Divers Plain and at Aaron Woods, with both sides giving as good as they got. Eventually the Kell Hounds and Drakøns were forced to retreat, but not before a [[Star]] of [[Elementals]] broke through their defensive lines and destroyed most of their recording equipment. Defeated, the Kell Hounds fled to the [[Federated Commonwealth]] while the Drakøns made their way to [[Rasalhague]].<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 59</ref>

[[Ridderkerk]] was conquered by [[Clan Wolf]] during [[Operation Revival]] as part of their Third Wave of attacks in July [[3050]], with major battles taking place at Vesinur, Sally's Bar and Grill, and Canton Downs.  The [[1st Lyran Regulars]] were supposed to defend the planet from attack, however just prior to the invasion its commanding officer had been in a traffic accident which rendered him unconscious while his second-in-command proved incapable of commanding the [[RCT]].  Thus when the [[328th Assault (Clan Wolf)|328th Assault Cluster]] made it to their drop zone and began advancing on the capital they were unopposed.  By the time battle was actually joined a lack of leadership and tactical control completely doomed the Lyran Regulars, who couldn't even manage to flee off-world and thus ceased to exist by the end of the day.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 60</ref><ref>''ClanTroops'', p. 34</ref>
