Third Succession War[edit]
The Twentieth Draconis Regiment was the unit tasked with rooting out the Black Widow Company of Wolf's Dragoons from Harlow's Wood on New Wessex in 3021. Brigadier Jinjo Yamashiga would deploy his BattleMechs by Lances and begin a search of the Wood. However, this allowed the Widows to maneuver within the Wood to engage each Lance individually where the Draconis forces could not support each other. By the end of a week's worth of fighting, the Widows had heavily damaged 18 of the 27 Lances sent to search for them. These losses, plus the eventual escape of the Black Widow Company would force Jinjo Yamashiga to commit seppuku for his unit's failures.[2][3][1]
