In [[3061]] the '''Seventh Bear Regulars''' were stationed on [[Krenice]] with the [[10th Phalanx (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tenth Phalanx]] as a part of [[Sigma Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sigma Galaxy]], the Seventh the sole [[BattleMech]] [[Cluster]] in the Bear's so-called [[Combat Vehicle|Vehicle]] [[Galaxy]]. With Krenice located along the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]]-[[Draconis Combine]] border as well as being one of the Ghost Bear worlds closest to [[Terra]], the Seventh took their defense of the planet seriously, despite their indifference to the Tenth Phalanx's aid in this.<ref name=FMWC-99>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 99: "Clan Ghost Bear - Sigma Galaxy"</ref>

During this period the Seventh received permission to raid across the Combine border to test the resolve of [[Clan Nova Cat]] in the wake of [[Operation Bulldog]] and the [[Great Refusal]], encountering the Nova Cat's [[10th Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|Tenth Garrison]] [[Cluster]] of the [[Chi Provisional Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Chi Provisional Galaxy]] and staging a [[Trial of Possession]] for one of the Tenth's brand new [[Nova Cat (OmniMech)|''Nova Cat'']] [[OmniMech]]s. Though the Nova Cats were more highly skilled than the Ghost Bears, the Seventh's superior numbers turned the tide of battle in their favor.<ref name=FMWC-99/><ref name=FMCS-122>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 122: "Clan Nova Cat - Chi Provisional Galaxy"</ref>

Having deployed to the [[Inner Sphere]] as a part of Sigma Galaxy, at some point prior to [[3075]] the Seventh Bear Regulars had been reassigned to [[Omicron Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omicron Galaxy]] to give the predominantly aerospace-orientated Omicron with some offensive punch,<ref name="FR:Cp10"/> serving alongside such units as the [[1st Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|First Bear Regulars]] and the [[69th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixty-ninth Provisional Garrison Cluster]].

Having established landing zones, the Seventh Bear Regulars - along with the First Bear Regulars and Sixty-ninth PGC - swiftly pushed the defending forces from the [[Cebalrai Protectorate Militia]] and their supporting mercenaries off the continent of Lennori and continued to pursue them across Sarrina, a pursuit that culminated in a bloody three-day campaign to seize control of [[New Wade]], the capital city of Cebalrai. New Wade was secured by the Ghost Bears on the 18th of August and the government reestablished; concerns about rogue Blakist units and supporters led to the First remaining in place to both act as guards and recuperate from their losses.<ref name="JHS3076p47"/>

The Seventh Bear Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC continued to harry the retreating Cebalrai Protectorate Militia and their supporting mercenary forces, pursuing them back to Dragga, where the Blakists still controlled the three main cities. The main Blakist strength was at Kamrin, a heavily industrial city, and the Ghost Bear forces were driving deep into the city when the Blakists acted out of desperation and detonated a chain of five neutron bombs that had been concealed under the city. The results were devastating for the Seventh Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC, who were collectively reduced to just a handful of survivors.<ref name="JHS3076p47"/><ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>
