	With [[Jaime Wolf]] on [[Terra]] for the wedding of [[Hanse Davion]] and [[Melissa Steiner]], [[Major]] [[Kelly Yukinov]] was the commanding officer on Glenmora when the Fourth Succession War began in August 3028.  The Dragoons were positioned on the world's continent of Hades, a land crisscrossed with lava flows and five active volcanos.  There the mercenaries were positioned to protect the planet's chemical industry and capital city of Tronka.<ref name=WDSp40/>		With [[Jaime Wolf]] on [[Terra]] for the wedding of [[Hanse Davion]] and [[Melissa Steiner]], [[Major]] [[Kelly Yukinov]] was the commanding officer on Glenmora when the Fourth Succession War began in August 3028.  The Dragoons were positioned on the world's continent of Hades, a land crisscrossed with lava flows and five active volcanos.  There the mercenaries were positioned to protect the planet's chemical industry and capital city of Tronka.<ref name=WDSp40/>
−	On 18 September 3028, the [[Fifth Galedon Regulars]] landed on Glenmora 100 miles east of the main Dragoons positions.  There they spent a week adjusting to the planet's unusual environment while making slow progress toward the Dragoons.  While the two forces closed, Major Kelly Yukinov was personally scouting for the enemy when his lance became involved in a firefight with a Combine [[lance]].  The Dragoons were able to destroy two of the enemy [[BattleMechs]] when the survivors turned their fire onto Yukinov's ''[[Archer]]''.  Major Yukinov was rendered unconscious and his 'Mech fell to the ground while still taking enemy fire.  The machine's onboard computer detected the reactor core spiking so it automatically ejected the still unconscious Yukinov.  The remaining Dragoons attempted to protect and save their commander, but incoming Combine reinforcements arrived to prevent the rescue.  The best they could do was to draw the Combine's attention away from their commander.  Later, the [[Glenmora Air Rescue]] was able to send in helicopters and rescue Yukinov, but his injuries would prevent him from returning to combat.<ref name=WDSp40/>	+	On September 18th, 3028, the 5th Galedon Regulars landed on Glenmora 100 miles east of the main Dragoons positions.  There they spent a week adjusting to the planet's unusual environment while making slow progress toward the Dragoons.  While the two forces closed, Major Kelly Yukinov was personally scouting for the enemy when his lance became involved in a firefight with a Combine [[Lance]].  The Dragoons were able to destroy two of the enemy [[BattleMechs]] when the survivors turned their fire onto Yukinov's [[Archer]].  Major Yukinov was rendered unconscious and his 'Mech fell to the ground while still taking enemy fire.  The machine's onboard computer detected the reactor core spiking so it automatically ejected the still unconscious Yukinov.  The remaining Dragoons attempted to protect and save their commander, but incoming Combine reinforcements arrived to prevent the rescue.  The best they could do was to draw the Combine's attention away from their commander.  Later, the [[Glenmora Air Rescue]] was able to send in helicopters and rescue Yukinov, but his injuries would prevent him from returning to combat.<ref name=WDSp40/>
	With Yukinov out of action, command of the Dragoons fell to Major [[Coshasa DuKirk]].  She was a newcomer to the Dragoons and met resistance to her taking command immediately.  However, she faced her opposition down and assumed command.  Her first action was to release the Black Widow Company against the Galedon Regulars.  [[Natasha Kerensky]]'s unit became the bane of the invaders by using their superior mobility and training to destroy several isolated Combine units.<ref name=WDSp40/>		With Yukinov out of action, command of the Dragoons fell to Major [[Coshasa DuKirk]].  She was a newcomer to the Dragoons and met resistance to her taking command immediately.  However, she faced her opposition down and assumed command.  Her first action was to release the Black Widow Company against the Galedon Regulars.  [[Natasha Kerensky]]'s unit became the bane of the invaders by using their superior mobility and training to destroy several isolated Combine units.<ref name=WDSp40/>

−	The Dragoons would be saved by the timely arrival of the [[Tenth Deneb Light Cavalry]] under the command of [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Carl Sanders]].  Marshal Sanders had learned of the arrival of the Sixteenth Regulars, and without orders, had moved his unit to assist the Dragoons.  The arrival of a fresh regiment forced the Combine units to pull back in disarray as the Tenth moved into Tronka to link up with the Dragoons.  However, the inexperience of the Tenth Deneb would come to haunt them as they rushed into the fray.  Just blocks form linking up with the Dragoons, Carl Sanders would be killed in a trap set by elements of the Sixteenth Regulars.  The Marshal died in his ''[[Warhammer]]'' when a Combine [[Stinger]] executed a "Death From Above" maneuver off a nearby building onto the Marshal's machine.  In the end, the Dragoons were saved, but at the cost of the Tenth Deneb's commander and heavy casualties.  Jaime Wolf would make the Tenth Deneb Cavalry official "Dragoons" and take command of the demoralized unit.<ref name=WDSp40/>	+	The Dragoons would be saved by the timely arrival of the [[10th Deneb Light Cavalry]] under the command of [[Marshal]] [[Carl Sanders]].  Marshal Sanders had learned of the arrival of the 16th Regulars, and without orders, had moved his unit to assist the Dragoons.  The arrival of a fresh regiment forced the Combine units to pull back in disarray as the 10th moved into Tronka to link up with the Dragoons.  However, the inexperience of the 10th Deneb would come to haunt them as they rushed into the fray.  Just blocks form linking up with the Dragoons, Carl Sanders would be killed in a trap set by elements of the 16th Regulars.  The Marshal died in his [[Warhammer]] when a Combine [[Stinger]] executed a "Death From Above" maneuver off a nearby building onto the Marshal's machine.  In the end, the Dragoons were saved, but at the cost of the 10th Deneb's commander and heavy casualties.  Jaime Wolf would make the 10th Deneb Cavalry official "Dragoons" and take command of the demoralized unit.<ref name=WDSp40/>

While DuKirk was about to order a retreat, her ''[[Crusader]]'' was hit by three enemy 'Mech simultaneously.  The machine swayed and slowly fell to the ground, not to stand again.  The surviving Dragoons fought on in a fury, but their fate was sealed.  The Dragoons Second Provisional Company was destroyed to the point that even their machines were not salvageable.<ref name=WDSp40/>	+	Then Major DuKirk's Second Provisional Company caught up with a company from the 16th Galedon Regulars.  Enjoying an initial success, the Dragoons drove for the heart of the Combine's formation and destroyed four 'Mechs.  Just when DuKirk expected the unit to break, the other two companies of the Combine Battalion arrived on each of the Dragoons flanks.
