Known within [[Clan Wolf]] as detached and calm under pressure, warriors of the '''Third Battle Cluster''' that exhibited any restraint, cowardice, or timidity under fire were quickly assigned to other [[Cluster]]s.

The Third Battle was the Wolf Clan participant in the [[Trial of Refusal]] against [[Operation Revival]].<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 22</ref> With bidding among the "Aye" votes bringing the odds down from 16-1, the single "Nay" of the Wolves meant they would face four Clusters of the [[Crusader Clans|Crusaders]]. Led by [[Ulric Kerensky]] for the Trial, Khan Kerensky ordered the Wolf warriors to split up, forming headhunting groups. Challenging the [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bear]] [[Khan]]s to single combat, and besting both, the [[1st Bear Guards (Rasalhague Dominion)|First Bear Guards]] quickly fell to the Wolf Khan and his plan to decapitate a leading Crusader Clan.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 31</ref>  Next, the Cluster faced the fanatically Crusader [[Gyrfalcon Guards]] of the [[Clan Jade Falcon|Jade Falcons]]. Using hidden units and attacking from three different directions, the Falcons lost a cascading series of ''[[zellbrigen]]'' duels, leading to a rout.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 32</ref> The Wolves ran them down, while also fending off the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar|Smoke Jaguar]] [[4th_Jaguar_Dragoons_(Clan_Smoke_Jaguar)|Fourth Dragoons]] and the [[69th_Dragoon_(Clan_Star_Adder)|Fifteenth Rapier]], led by [[Clan Burrock|Burrock]] Khan [[Jocelyn Siddiq]]. Facing two Clusters already had worn the Third down, and the Smoke Jaguar leadership ordered the warriors to not extend ''zellbrigen''. The combined Burrock-Jaguar force split the Wolves, overwhelming them with weapons fire. Despite Khan Kerensky nearly defeating Star Colonel [[Aaron Showers]] after a disorienting missile strike, the Trial ended when the Jaguar warrior fired blindly, destroying the Gargoyle of Khan Ulric.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 33</ref>

The '''Third Battle [[Cluster]]''' was heavily involved in the [[Trial of Refusal]] against [[Operation Revival]]. The Trial caused casualties so severe that [[SaKhan]] [[Garth Radick]] barred the unit from participation in the initial [[Clan Invasion|Invasion]] of the Inner Sphere.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 89</ref> However the Third Battle's Supernova Command, Trinary Striker and Binary Fighter units were available for the conquest of [[Lovinac]] in May [[3050]].<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 59</ref> They were also brought in as reinforcements to finish up the conquest of [[Planting]] later in July.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 60</ref> When the Fifth Wave of the invasion started, the Third Battle conquered the planet [[Rastaban]] in January [[3052]], destroying the [[2nd Knights of St. Cameron]].<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 68</ref>

The surviving warriors of the Silver Devils broke with the tradition of using non-[[Bloodnamed]] warriors' remains to feed the iron wombs of the next generation (one last way to serve the future of the Clan). They instead vowed to scatter the ashes among the worlds of the Inner Sphere upon their return.<ref name=WCS26>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 26</ref>

During the [[Refusal War]] against Clan Jade Falcon, the Third were part of [[Khan]] [[Natasha Kerensky]]'s forces. In October [[3057]] they attacked the planet of [[Devin]]. In one action Trinary Bravo defeated the [[2nd Falcon Jaegers (Clan Jade Falcon)|Second Falcon Jaeger's]] Charlie Trinary on the O'Tsung Plain, however, overall the Wolves were defeated and force to move on, taking 47% casualties.<ref name=F&W256>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', p. 25-6</ref> In December the Third and the rest of Beta Galaxy attacked [[Twycross]]. The Third formed one flank of the Wolf battle line. Their initial barrage decimated the [[6th Provisional Garrison (Clan Jade Falcon)|Sixth Provisional Garrison Cluster]]. They fought hard and well but were forced to retreat on the order of Natasha Kerensky. Under [[Marco Hall]], the Third moved against the planet of [[Wotan]].<ref name=BFW/><ref name=F&W22930>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', p.29-30</ref> It did not survive the fighting of the Refusal War.
