History[edit]

Clan Invasion[edit]

As of 3050, the unit was stationed on Buckminster.[4] The Seventh was assigned the world of Sternwerde in January 3052. The First Bear Guards dropped through heavy cover and overran the center of the Seventh's line, attempting to break through and fire from behind the Kuritan defenders. Tai-sa Shazil quickly adjusted and ordered his troops past the Ghost Bears machines, stopping at Dearborne Lake. The Seventh escaped the Clan warriors in a severe thunderstorm, only to be caught the next day at their DropShips, attempting to escape. Elements of the Seventh sacrificed themselves to ensure the remainder could successfully leave the planet.[5]

Alshain Avengers[edit]

A surviving battalion of the Seventh was used to form one-third of the Fourteenth Alshain Avengers.[2]
