| − | ==History==
| |
| − | 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>

| − | === First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War ===
| |
| − | Despite being a second-line Galaxy, elements of Sigma Galaxy including the Seventh Bear Regulars took an active part in the [[1st Combine-Dominion War|First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War]],<ref name="FM:Up61">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Sigma Galaxy"</ref> which began in [[3062]] with a suicidal attack by three [[regiment]]s of the [[Alshain Avengers]] against [[Alshain]].<ref name="FM:Up60">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 60, "Overview"</ref> The Seventh Bear Regulars joined with [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omega Galaxy's]] [[10th Bear Cuirassiers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tenth Bear Cuirassiers]] in an assault on [[Yamarovka]] in the face of determined resistance from the defending [[Clan Nova Cat|Nova Cat]] forces. The Seventh and Tenth were utlimately victorious,<ref name="FM:Up61"/> although the agreement ending the War saw the borders between the Ghost Bears and the [[Draconis Combine]] largely returned to their pre-War positions.<ref name="FM:Up60"/>

| − | ===The Jihad===
| |
| − | 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 Cluster (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixty-ninth Provisional Garrison Cluster]]. It was as a part of Omicron Galaxy that the Seventh attacked the world of [[Cebalrai]] in the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]], deploying in mid-August 3075.<ref name="JHS3076p47">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 47, "Cebalrai Free, But At What Cost?"</ref>

| − | 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 re-established; 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 controled 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>

| − | With the Ghost Bears still in control of the bulk of Cebalrai the [[10th Provisional Garrison Cluster (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tenth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] was deployed to the planet to secure Dragga, a campaign that took until at least the 23rd of August;<ref name="JHS3076p47"/> even with the Blakists annihilated,<ref name=DARWp6>''Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)'', p. 6, "Cebalrai World Profile"</ref> the casualties inflicted on the Seventh Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC were such that Omicron Galaxy halted offensive operations temporarily to reassess the campaign and attempt to recover its strength;<ref name="JHS3076p47"/> The Ghost Bears considered both the Seventh Bear Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC to have been destroyed as combat formations on Cebalrai.<ref name="FR:Cp10">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 11, "Omicron Galaxy"</ref>

| − | The Republic of the Sphere established a memorial to the Ghost Bears who died liberating Cebalrai; a huge sculpture of a Ghost Bear, carved from obsidian, was placed in the center of Kamrin, the location of the final conflict between the Ghost Bears and the Blakists.<ref name=DARWp6/>
