History

Operation Revival

As part of Alpha Galaxy the 7th Dragoons fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:

Wave Two

  • Garstedt - the Dragoons faced the 3rd Alshain Regulars; using a series of fast, mobile strikes, the Seventh drove the Third Regulars off-world with heavy losses. The Regulars lost nearly a battalion of 'Mechs before escaping off-world.[1][2]

Wave Four

  • Schuyler- the Dragoons once again faced the 3rd Alshain Regulars, whom were once again driven off-world with moderate losses.[3] However later reports confuse this battle with that at Port Arthur. [2]

Wave Five

  • Port Arthur - Under the command of saKhan Sarah Weaver the Dragoons dropped on to the Zuave Vale pushing the First Proserpina Hussars back to defensive positions. A headhunter attack failed but did force the Hussars to retreat again this time to an area with automated turrets in hardened bunkers which stalled the Dragoons for over a week before they pushed the defenders off planet. [4]
  • Luthien - The dragoons took heavy casualties during the Battle of Luthien. [2]

Tukayyid

The Dragoons dropped into the Dinju Heights along with the rest of Alpha Galaxy, again taking heavy causalities before being ordered to withdraw. [2]

Post Tukayyid

After Operation Revival the Seventh Jaguar Dragoons were transferred to Epsilon Galaxy and based on Tarazed in the Smoke Jaguar Occupation Zone.[5]

Operation Bulldog

Operation Bird Dog

  • Tarazed - As part of this clandestine campaign a company sized unit from the 3rd Donegal Guards dropped onto the planet in May 3059. the Seventh hunted it down, but were still dealing with this threat when the main assault hit the planet. [6]
