War of 3039
During the War of 3039 Laurel's Legion and the 8th Crucis Lancers took Biham. The Legion was responsible for taking the Tiberius gas mining facility, which it did with no losses.[2] When the 5th Ghost and 6th Ghost regiments arrived to recover the system for the Draconis Combine, the Legion attempted to provide support for the embattled Eighth Lancers. Unfortunately the Eighth's commander was dismissive of the Legion's aid, and the two forces couldn't communicate effectively as a result. This allowed the two Ghost regiments to force the AFFS units out of the system.[3]
Xin Sheng Campaign
The Legion remains at battalion strength with regard to the BattleMech corps. In last time he has also picked up two battalions of infantry, the Tigress Citizens' Brigade. Each member is an expatriate from Tigress. When we return home, it will be my greatest pleasure to discharge them and name the citizens of Tigress and of the Confederation, says Sang-shao Laurel.[4]
Jihad
Laurel's Legion formed a part of the Capellan forces which assaulted Halloran V in 3077, as did their sister regiment within the Citizens' Honored, Lockhardt's Ironsides. The Legion took heavy damage and was twice forced out of their defensive positions by Word of Blake forces before managing to regroup behind the 4th McCarron's Armored Cavalry and subsequently driving the Blakists off. The Legion was then redeployed, returning to garrison postings near the St. Ives Commonality, where it could draw on the manufacturing base present within the Sian Commonality to rebuild.[5]
Officers
As of 3025 the commanding officer is Colonel Elyse Laurel.[6]
As of 3063 to 3067 the commanding officer was Sang-shao Alexia "Zi" Laurel.[1][7]
As of 3085 the commanding officer is Sao-shao Betsy "Sugar" Lindsey.[8]
