In the aftermath of the [[Burrock Absorption]], the Seventeenth, along with the [[79th Crimson Guards (Clan Blood Spirit)|Seventy-ninth Crimson Guards]] drove the [[3rd Falcon Velites (Clan Jade Falcon)|Third Falcon Velites]] off [[York (Clan System)|York]] and claimed the former [[Clan Jade Falcon|Jade Falcon]] enclave on that planet.<ref name=FMCSC35>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 35, "17th Crimson Guards Profile"</ref>

In the aftermath of the [[Burrock Absorption]], the Seventeenth, along with the [[79th Crimson Guards (Clan Blood Spirit)|Seventy-ninth Crimson Guards]] drove the [[3rd Falcon Velites (Clan Jade Falcon)|Third Falcon Velites]] off [[York]] and claimed the former [[Clan Jade Falcon|Jade Falcon]] enclave on that planet.
 
 
The Guards acted as part of the reserve for [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Alpha Galaxy]] during the fighting against [[Clan Star Adder]] between [[3060]] and [[3067]], as such its forces have engaged a number of Adder Galaxies. <ref name=FMU41>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 41</ref>
 
 
 
In [[3075]] the Guards and Tau Galaxy dropped on to [[Circe]] as part of the multi-Clan force of the [[Clan Steel Viper]] Annihilation. They had taken heavy casualties in the approach by hidden gun batteries and during the ground fighting the Galaxy was overrun and broken by the Vipers' [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)| Beta Galaxy]], but was saved by a counterattack by [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Cloud Cobra)| Delta Galaxy]] of [[Clan Cloud Cobra]].<ref name=wor150>''The Wars of Reaving'', p.150 </ref>
 
 
 
After the Viper annihilation the Guards were rebuilt in 3082 they were stationed with their Galaxy in the [[Colleen]] system, on the planet Honor. Here in [[3083]] they came under attack by forces of both [[Clan Stone Lion]] and [[Clan Coyote]]; taking heavy casualties as they were pushed out of defensive enclaves. They stood at roughly twenty five percent strength in [[3084]] when the [[Clan Star Adder|Star Adders]] called for a [[Trial of Absorption]] and by the end of the year Clan Blood Spirit had been effectively destroyed, the 17th Crimson Guards being the last Spirits standing. They were destroyed by orbital bombardment.<ref name=wor1557>''The Wars of Reaving'', p.155-157 </ref>
