War of 3039
Halstead Station
In August 3039 the Seventh supported by the 1st Sword of Lights invasion of Halstead Station.[4]
Clan Invasion
When Theodore Kurita came to power and implemented his reforms, the Seventh found itself in a difficult position. They were required to defend the Draconis Combine's culture, but the reforms were implemented by the Coordinator. The unit's commander, Tai-sa Kiyomori Minamoto, required each warrior of the unit to embody the bushido code in his personal life as well as on duty. Thus, until the entire Combine accepted the Coordinator's reforms, the Seventh could not accept them. During this time the warriors of the Seventh were required to honor bushido's precepts by participating in several forms of art as well as martial skill. To this end they frequently staged traditional plays for the local population.[1]
The Seventh fought the Clans during the Battle of Luthien.
Operation Bulldog
In 3059, Tai-sa Minamoto lead the 7th Sword of Light in the defense of Pesht, when the elements of Clan Smoke Jaguar's Delta Galaxy counter attacked Operation Bulldog invasion of their occupation zone.[5]
Dominion War
The Seventh moved to Turtle Bay and tried to reinforce the 9th Pesht Regulars, but arrived too late to prevent the Ghost Bears from destroying the Ninth Pesht on Idlewind.[5]

Eventually the unit made it to Albeiro, stabilizing a volatile situation. After that they attacked and destroyed the traitorous 15th Dieron Regulars in the Xinyang Prefecture, working closely with "inquisitor squads" from the Internal Security Force and Order of Five Pillars. During Operation SCOUR they were stationed along the Ghost Bear Dominion/Combine border to dissuade any adventurism by that Clan.[6] After Terra's liberation the Seventh Sword of Light was stationed on the Combine/Federated Suns border world of David.[7]
