History[edit]
The unit faced forces from Clan Wolf's Gamma Galaxy in August 3050 when the Wolves invaded the planet as a part of the Fourth Wave of Operation REVIVAL. They were joined by the remnants of the Third Kavalleri, who had already faced the invaders in battle. Reduced to just a battalion in strength, Överste Barrie Fraga was optimistic that the Third would be able to use what they'd learned from their previous battles, with support from the Brigade. Unfortunately for them both, the invading forces—the Bronze Keshik and elements of the Seventh Battle Cluster—were led in the field by Galaxy Commander Mikel Furey, one of the preeminent tacticians within the Clan Wolf touman.[2]
Furey kept the Brigade and Kavalleri off-balance with small probing attacks, making it impossible for Fraga to keep track of all of the Clan Wolf forces, before he led the Bronze Keshik in a flanking attack that hit the Kavalleri in the rear. They were defeated in battles fought at Green Kurquat and Padua, with Fraga's 'Mech exploding after a ten-minute toe-to-toe duel with Furey at Padua.[2]
