The '''Twelfth Triarii Protectors''' were formed up after the eruption of general warfare across the [[Inner Sphere]] in the [[thirty-second century]], with the core of the new command being drawn from two distinct sources: mercenaries, who had found themselves stranded on [[Outreach]], and the survivors of the [[IV Triarii Protectors|Fourth Triarii Protectors]].<ref name="FM:3145p142">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 142: "Triarii Protectors"</ref>

After the creation of [[Fortress Republic]] the Twelfth continued to hold to the same tenet that the Fourth had held to, the idea that weapons of war could be used as a force for good; the Twelfth continued to use its [[BattleMech]]s for peaceful purposes, which attracted the attention of others in the [[Republic Armed Forces]]. The [[Sphere Intelligence Service]] conducted an analysis of the Twelfth's work and the regions the command had garrisoned, an analysis that was completed in March [[3143]] and which identified that in many of the regions loyalty to the [[Republic of the Sphere]] was higher than the norm. This led the High Command to consider directing other units to adopt the same practice.<ref name="FM:3145p142"/>
 
 
 
===Dark Age===
 
In 3149, as part of Operation ERUPTIO, the Twelfth Triarii Protectors and [[XII Principes Guards]] attacked [[Quentin]]. The Triarii smashed communications towers, supply depots, and other military infrastructure while the Guards held off the Combine defenders.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 66</ref>
 
  
They then landed on [[Robinson]] with multiple other Republic regiments. While there they faced the [[1st Ghost]], and inflicted heady losses on other [[DCMS]] forces. After forcing the DCMS to withdraw from Robinson, the Twelfth remained on the world with the other members of their army group as a garrison force.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 77</ref>

In April 3150, they rearmed and joined up with other Republic forces on [[Shiloh]]. As part of Second Army Group, their first assignment was to attack [[Phecda]]. They forced the Eleventh Battle Cluster to retreat to [[Wyatt]]. They then relocated to [[Gacrux]] to further disrupt [[Clan Wolf]]'s plans. While on Gacrux, they were attacked by the [[Bronze Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Bronze Keshik]], [[Green Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Green Keshik]], [[271st Wolf Guard Assault Cluster]], and the [[93rd Wolf Striker (Clan Wolf)|Ninety-third Wolf Striker Cluster]]. The Wolves overran the Twelfth's positions, and forced them to retreat. This retreat became a rout when the Wolves killed Colonel Shiroyama. The Wolves trapped the Twelfth's troops and destroyed them to the last soldier.<ref name=ssp86>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 86</ref>
