Along with the rest of the Fourth Army, the 130th was assigned to assist the [[1st Army (ComStar)|First Army]] combat Clan Ghost Bear during the Battle of Tukayyid. Scared that the green units of the Fourth like the 130th would break during combat against the Bears, despite protests from the Fourth Army's commander [[Precentor]] Aryon Tolliver, the First Army commander [[Katherine Luarca]] ordered the Fourth to stay on station around the secondary target city of Luk while the outnumbered First led the charge against the Bears, a misstep that ultimately allowed the Ghost Bears to capture the primary target of Spanac.<ref name=T-48>''Tukayyid'', pp. 48-56 "Campaign: Clan Ghost Bear"</ref> <ref name=IC-29>''Invading Clans'', p. 29 "Tukayyid: World of Fate"</ref> <ref name=WC-48>''Wolf Clan'', pp. 48-49, "Days of Armageddon - Ghost Bear"</ref> <ref name=CS-69>''ComStar'', pp. 69-72, "Battle of Tukayyid"</ref>

Along with the rest of the Fourth Army, the One-Hundred and Thirtieth was assigned to assist the [[1st Army (ComStar)|First Army]] combat Clan Ghost Bear during the Battle of Tukayyid.

As two divisions from the Fourth unsuccessfully attempted to pin the [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Bears' elite Alpha Galaxy]] down in the city with artillery fire to prevent them moving on their brothers back at Luk, Alpha easily advanced and tore into the Fourth Army divisions guarding Luk as feared. Luarca redeemed her loss of Spanac when she led the [[103rd Division (ComStar)|103rd]] and [[308th Division (ComStar)|308th Divisions]] in sacking Alpha's main supply depot. Guarded only by [[Freeborn|freebirth]] warriors in second line [['Mech]]s and with Alpha's losses mounting, the Bears pulled back to reinforce and safeguard Spanac, earning a marginal victory against the Com Guards.<ref name=T-48/> <ref name=IC-29/> <ref name=WC-48/> <ref name=CS-69/>

After the Ghost Bears withdrew, the divisions of the Fourth Army were transferred along with those to First to assist against the equally hard-fighting [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. [[Precentor Martial of ComStar|Precentor Martial]] [[Anastasius Focht]] assigned the divisions of the Fourth to join the [[11th Army (ComStar)|Eleventh Army's]] [[388th Division (ComStar)|388th]] and [[214th Division (ComStar)|214th Division]] in a successful assault against the Falcon's repair and resupply depots at Plough Bridge and Robyn's Crossing. With the Falcons now lacking the supplies to continue their campaign, Focht ordered the Fourth Army to block their attempted withdrawal. In some of the most bloody fighting on Tukayyid, the retreating Jade Falcon [[Cluster]]s were able to smash through the Fourth Army divisions in their way, inflicting heavy losses on the Com Guard units.<ref name=T-58>''Tukayyid'', pp. 58-59, "Campaign: Clan Jade Falcon"</ref> <ref name=CS-70>''ComStar'', pp. 70-71 "Battle of Tukayyid"</ref> <ref name=WC-50>''Wolf Clan'', p. 50 "Days of Armageddon - Jade Falcon"</ref> <ref name=JFSB-30>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', pp. 30-32 "Battle of Tukayyid"</ref>

Despite its valiant efforts against the Clans, Precentor Martial Focht elected to disband rather than rebuild the heavily damaged 130th, transferring its survivors to other units.

* Like all the divisions of the Fourth Army, the 130th is not mentioned by name in any source on the Battle of Tukayyid, appearing in that Army in ''20 Year Update'' but not included in its post-Tukayyid roster in ''ComStar''. Its fate is based on conjecture.
