The unit's first deployment was to [[Al Jubaylah]]. There, they assisted in restoring order after a popular religious leader was assassinated. Though they only faced two regiments of [[infantry]] and a mercenary [[BattleMech]] company under the command of a rebel general, the Second acquitted itself well. Casualties were light, even after storming a pair of fortifications.<ref name=FMFWL37/>

After the fall of the [[Free Worlds League]] the Second Legion pledged to follow [[Thomas Halas]] to the [[Marik Commonwealth]]. They remain one of the small realm's most skilled military units. They took up station on [[Keystone]].<ref name=frfwl8>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 8</ref>

The Stygians spent most of the [[Jihad]] guarding [[Corinne Marik]]. After that they garrisoned [[Marik]] for several years, but their strength allowed the Army of the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth commanders to redeploy the Stygians to [[New Olympia]]. There they garrisoned the world and took part in the cleanup of radioactive materials and the restoration of the capital city's power grid. This didn't take long, and the Second Legion is still in place in order to deter raids by the [[Principality of Regulus]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 81</ref>
