During the [[First Succession War]] the Irregulars aided the [[3rd Crucis Lancers|Third]] and [[Fifth Crucis Lancers]] in repulsing an attack by a multiregiment [[CCAF]] task force attempting to retake the former Liao world of [[Chesterton]] in [[2812]].  The battle was a complete disaster for [[House Liao]] with the defenders emerging victorious.<ref name=HLp47>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation'' , p. 47, “Proffered Hand”</ref>

During the [[Second Succession War]], the Irregulars were assigned to defend [[Tawas]] when the [[Third Liao Guards]] invaded the system. During the first hours of the fight, the Irregulars' CO, [[Colonel]] [[Belinda Williams]], was killed along with her senior staff when their [[DropShip]] was downed. Shaken but not beaten, and led by young officer [[Captain]] [[Maggie Ross]], the Irregulars stalled the CCAF forces until the Irregulars finally forced them retreat on the 22nd of June [[2830]]. Only 31 [[MechWarrior (pilot)|Mechwarriors]] and 26 [['Mechs]] lived to tell the tale.<ref name="SSWp24">''Second Succession War (sourcebook)'', p. 24, "The Suns-Confederation Front"</ref>

In 2830, the remaining elements of '''Belinda's Irregulars''' and [[Simpson's Samurai]] joined together to form the [[Bloody Suns]] <ref name="SSWp95">''Second Succession War (Sourcebook)'', p. 95, "Second Succession War Deployment Table - Armed Forces of the Federated Suns"</ref>
