The Second participated in Operation BROKEN FIST, counterattacking into the Lyran Alliance. They rebuilt their losses and remained on the Lyran border until the Circinus Federation invaded Poulsbo and Khon Kaen. At that point the Second sent a battalion to the worlds as part of a task force. This battalion was destroyed in the fighting, but the task force successfully ejected the Circinians from both worlds.[2]
