Imarra [[BattleMechs]] were among the very first to be equipped with the new [[Triple Strength Myomer]] technology that the [[Federated Suns]] had leaked to the Capellans on purpose by a false NAIS research station on [[Bethel]] that was target of [[Operation INTRUDERS COMMUNION]] in April 3029. In the daring raid on [[Sian]] to rescue [[Justin Xiang Allard]] on 24 October [[3029]], the [[House Davion|Davion]] [[DropShip]]s launched missiles loaded with a gaseous agent that destroyed the [[myomer]], incapacitating the Imarra 'Mechs before they could mount an effective defense.<ref>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 38</ref>

The easy welcome of the [[St. Ives]] Commonality, and suspected ties between House Master [[Ion Rush]] and [[Candace Liao]], alarmed the [[Maskirovka]] to downgrade House Imarra’s loyalty. Given the Imarra tendency to focus on the [[Sarna]].

The Warrior House was present for both of the [[Word of Blake]] assaults on [[Sian]]. They fought the [[17th Division (Word of Blake)|Seventeenth]] and [[24th Division (Word of Blake)|Twenty-fourth Divisions]] as well as the [[Dragon's Breath (Mercenary Command)|Dragon's Breath]] mercenary unit in [[3070]], eventually driving the Blakists offworld. However, the Word of Blake left several small teams on the world to provide support for future operations, and in [[3074]] these teams allowed the Twenty-fourth Division to return to Sian. Supported by the [[8th Division (Word of Blake)|Eighth Division]], [[Warrior House White Tiger]], and [[Warrior House Rakshasa]], the Blakists inflicted heavy losses on the defenders. Despite this, Warrior House Imarra, [[3rd Canopian Fusiliers|Third Canopian Fusiliers]], [[Red Lancers]], and the rest of the defenders were able to force the Blakists off of Sian. This second battle was particularly damaging for Warrior House Imarra, reducing it to a company of 'Mechs.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Sian'', pp. 6–7</ref>

Later in the Jihad the Imarras fought into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] and eventually faced [[Stone's Coalition‏‎|Coalition]] forces on [[Liberty]]. As of [[3079]] they were based on Liberty.<ref>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 9</ref>

Warrior House Imarra was responsible for defending several worlds in the core of the [[Sian Commonality]]. They also assaulted [[Coalition]] holdings on [[Liberty]]. They then joined their fellow Warrior Houses on [[Tikonov]] before withdrawing in the face of heavy resistance from [[The Republic of the Sphere]]. Arriving on [[Liao]], they faced [[Stone's Lament]] and were forced to leave before the rest of Stone's Brigade trapped them on the world.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 24</ref> In [[3085]] the Warrior House was based on [[Grand Base]].

In [[3090]] elements of Warrior House Imarra raided [[Ipswich]], they initially had great success destroying a Company of the [[Ipswich Militia]] and capturing the main Spaceport.

The [[6th Syrtis Fusiliers|Sixth Syrtis Fusiliers]] have been the target of Imarra from the initial moments of [[CELESTIAL REWARD]].  Imarra has twice intercepted the Sixth as it tried to return to New Syrtis, but in both instances the Sixth has managed to break away and escape before Imarra could strike a decisive blow. Refusing to let their prey escape, Imarra has taken up station a mere jump away from the Sixth’s last known position, waiting for the chance to strike.<ref name=FM3145p31>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 31: "Warrior House Orders - Warrior House Imarra"</ref>

The House Imarra has a long history of Battlefield excellence and they are using their reputation as a weapon in itself by intimidating lesser units into fearing them, which ultimately costs them the battle. If the enemy unit doesn't fear them, House Imarra has little problem showing them why they gained their reputation in the first place.<ref>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 59</ref>
