Timur's command saw only sporadic combat over the years, but had been reorganized to better guard the Clan's homeworld possessions, notably on the old Jaguar capital of [[Huntress]]. Khan Pryde appointed Malthus her official proxy on Clan councils, making him a de facto second SaKhan.

In 3064, Sigma Galaxy had been moved to the Inner Sphere, taking part in that year's invasion of the Lyran Alliance, with Timur in command. However, on the world of [[Melissia]] he faced the Lyran counterattack, [[Operation Audacity]], spearheaded by [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] forces, under the command of Khan [[Phelan Kell]].

In 3064, Sigma Galaxy had been moved to the Inner Sphere, taking part in that year invasion to the Lyran Commonwealth, with Timur at his command. However, in planet [[Melissia]] he must face the Lyran counterattack, [[Operation Audacity]], more specifically, the attack of [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] forces, lead by [[Phelan Kell]]. In the battle, Malthus was bidding higger than usual, determined to destroy the Wolves.
 +
Malthus used a trick, hiding part of his forces under a river's waters, to surround Kell's forces, but this one had surrounded him first, and forced Timur to concede the trial, leaving the planet again in Lyran hands.<ref>''Operation Audacity'' p. 224</ref>

He probably died along the rest of his command during the [[Wars of Reaving]], though if it happened on [[Marshall]], [[Eden]], [[Huntress]], [[Tokasha]] or [[Strana Mechty]]<ref name=WoR47>''Wars of Reaving'', p. 47</ref> is not known, though the last seems the most probable. It makes sense that his rank at that time was still Galaxy Commander.{{cn}}
Sigma Galaxy was destroyed during the [[Wars of Reaving]]. Although Timur's fate is not specifically mentioned, only a [[Binary]] of warriors from the [[1st Falcon Dragoons (Clan Jade Falcon)|First Falcon Dragoons]] are noted as having been taken as bondsmen.<ref name=WoR47>''Wars of Reaving'', p. 47</ref>
