In [[3069]], the Guards were led by [[Khan]] Karianna Schmitt on [[Albion (Clan System)|Albion]], capturing several industrial complexes from [[Clan Star Adder]].<ref name=wor42>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 42</ref> They then defended these holdings on Albion when they came under several attacks between 3070 to 3072 by Adder forces.<ref name=wor104>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 104</ref>
 
 
 
In early [[3073]], they took part in the assault on [[Eden]] against the Star Adder and [[Clan Hell's Horses]] enclaves, showing no mercy to the Adders in retribution for the bombardment of [[York (Clan System)|York]].<ref name=wor122>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 122</ref>
 
 
 
After Eden, they were ordered to move to Albion. Here they made a combat drop straight onto one of the Adder enclaves, which fell quickly.<ref name=wor122>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 122</ref> A week later, they moved against the second Adder enclave, here the fighting was more fierce, the 98th Crimson Guards were wiped out in an ambush that saw the Adders blow up a large portion of the city to prevent its capture. Other clusters took heavy damage from aerospace attack before the Spirit's withdrew and obliterated both Adder enclaves with orbital bombardment.<ref name=wor123>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 123</ref>
