Then known as the Second Assault [[Binary]], the Eighth took part in [[Operation Klondike]]. On [[Dagda (Clan System)|Dagda]], the Second Assault was ambushed at Satan's Table, and nine of the ten [[BattleMech|'Mechs]] were destroyed. Though normally such losses would lead to the disbanding of the unit, Khan [[Cyrus Elam]] believed in keeping the legacies and traditions of the unit intact as long as even one warrior survived. Some observers credit this belief with the Scorpion's individualism.<ref name=FM:WCp111>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 111, "8th Scorpion Dragoons Profile"</ref>
