In the assault on [[Terra]] the Seventh Pesht was under the direct command of [[Devlin Stone]]. Along with Stone's Lament, the [[Twenty-fifth Arcturan Guards]], the [[Third Free Worlds Legionnaires]], [[Ryuken-ni]], and the Ghost Legion, the Seventh Pesht Regulars attacked Hilton Head island in an attempt to decapitate the [[Word of Blake]] command structure.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 96</ref> Heavy casualties forced Stone to reprioritize, and the Seventh Pesht turned towards Dallas. Outside of Little Rock they faced the Blakist [[21st Division (Word of Blake)|Twenty-first Division]].<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 126</ref> During the final battle between Devlin Stone and [[Cameron St. Jamais]] the Seventh captured the main gun control facility at the Word's Devil's Tower fortress. Upon their return to the Combine they were reassigned to garrison [[Midway]].<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 11</ref>
