Originally not taking part in [[Operation Revival]], the Seventh were called forward from the [[Clan Homeworlds]] to replace the tragically lost [[3rd Bear Striker (Clan Ghost Bear)|Third Bear Striker Cluster]]. Arriving to take the Third Striker's place in [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta Galaxy]] in the midst of the Bear's fourth invasion wave, detachments of Seventh were assigned to mostly-pacified [[Inner Sphere]] worlds taken by their Clan to give them some insight to the Spheroid combat style, seeing only limited combat prior to the announcement of the proxy battle for [[Terra]] on [[Tukayyid]].<ref name="er305253"/>

The Seventh was included among the Clusters of Beta Galaxy bid into the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]], deploying alongside those of [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Delta Galaxy]] and initially assigned the secondary target of Luk while the elite [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Alpha Galaxy]] proceeded to the primary target of Spanac. At first both Galaxies easily weathered the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[1st Army (ComStar)|First Army]]'s attempts to halt the Bears' advance to Luk, with the Seventh decimating the [[121st Division (ComStar)|121st Division]] and clearing the way for their fellow [[Cluster]]s, but when the [[91st Division (ComStar)|Ninety-first Division]] ambushed and broke Delta Galaxy's [[20th Polar Bear Attack (Clan Ghost Bear)|Twentieth Polar Bear Attack Cluster]], the tide was turned and Beta and Delta Galaxies were forced to withdraw.<ref name=CS-70>''ComStar'', p. 70-71 "History of ComStar - The Waterly Era - The Clan War - Battle for Tukayyid"</ref> <ref name=FMWC-82>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 82 "Clan Ghost Bear - History - Operation Revival - The Roaring Bear"</ref> <ref name=IC-29>''Invading Clans'', p. 29 "Clan Ghost Bear - Wave Five: The Roaring Bear - Tukayyid: World of Fate"</ref> <ref name=T-48>''Tukayyid'', p. 48 "Campaign: Clan Ghost Bear"</ref> <ref name=T-49>''Tukayyid'', p. 48 "Campaign: Clan Ghost Bear - Pummeling The Polar Bears [4]"</ref>

With the Ghost Bear [[Khan]]s now opting to focus all three Galaxies on the assault on Spanac, the Seventh was selected to guard the redeployment of Beta and Delta, as the Com Guards desperately scrambled to prevent them linking up with Alpha, with the Seventh Bear Guards lured into an ambush by the [[12th Division (ComStar)|Twelfth Division]] in the Holth forest. Setting fire to the forest, the Com Guard forces nullified the Clans' [[Double Heat Sink|advanced heat sink technology]] and forced the Seventh towards clear escape routes that led directly to the dug-in forces of the Twelfth. While horrified by the waste of thousands of acres of woodland and the sure death that awaited, Clan honor forced the exhausted Seventh to attack the Com Guard unit and the overheated [[OmniMech]]s of the Seventh charged the massed forces of the Twelfth, being destroyed to the last man.<ref name=CS-70/> <ref name=FMWC-82/> <ref name=IC-29/> <ref name=T-48/> <ref name=CS-71>''ComStar'', p. 71 "History of ComStar - The Waterly Era - The Clan War - Battle for Tukayyid - Heat of Battle"</ref> <ref name=T-51>''Tukayyid'', p. 51 "Campaign: Clan Ghost Bear - A Forest Inferno [14]"</ref> <ref name="GBL">''Ghost Bear's Lament, part II</ref>
