Anton’s Revolt
During Anton's Revolt, the 3rd Free Worlds Guards were kept on Atreus, defending the capital. [1]
4th Succession War
As of 3025, the Guards were stationed on Zion, near the Capellan Confederation border. [2] It was comprised primarily of medium battlemechs. [3]
They reportedly did not see any fighting during the Fourth Succession War.
Andurien Secession
During the Andurien Secession, the Guards remained on Zion until 3035 when they were relocated to Piriapolis. [4] In 3039, they attacked the Federated Commonwealth world of Hsien, looking to take advantage of the Commonwealth's war with the Draconis Combine. They were soon driven off when elements of Wolf's Dragoons were contracted to retake the planet. The Guards ultimately took part in the final battle on Andurien, where they saw heavy fighting against the 6th Defenders of Andurien, among others. Despite all of this, they pulled through the conflict with moderate losses. [5]
Clan Invasion
By 3050, the Guards had returned to their homeworld of Zion. [6] They were still based on Zion in 3054. [7]
