−	=== War of 3039 ===
−	[[Alrakis]] was a target in the first wave of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] attacks on the Lyran front of the [[War of 3039]]. In mid-April, the first of two major units assigned to attack the world, the [[23rd Arcturan Guards|Twenty-third Arcturan Guards RCT]] dropped onto the planet. Landing on the 16th of April under the command of [[Leutnant-General]] [[Jacqueline Fincher]], the intention in taking Alrakis was twofold; firstly, it would act as a stepping stone to worlds further into the Combine interior, and secondly, it presented the opportunity for a victory over a unit personally associated with Theodore Kurita.<ref name="H:3039p28"/>
−
−	The decisive, aggressive drop by the Twenty-third caught the Eleventh Legion by surprise, quickly forcing them out of their barracks and onto the back foot. Even as the advance contingent of the 23rd was pushing the more numerous Legion back, a second contingent landed on the shores of Lake Carantha and seized Sigmundrac, the planetary capital. The Eleventh didn't take long to regroup; the commanding officer of the Legion, ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Esau Olivares]], was well-known for his resourcefulness and determination, and had fought alongside the ''Kanrei'' during the [[Fourth Succession War]] on [[Marfik]]. Olivares counterattacked in an attempt to gain the initiative, forcing the Twenty-third into a bloody series of battles. Sensing that Olivares was striking from a weak position, Fincher and the Twenty-third launched their own offensive, pushing and harrying the Legion back and attempting to pin them against the Caradhradene Mountains. On Marfik in the previous war, Olivares had personally led the rearguard action that allowed Theodore Kurita to escape; acting with the same insight, Olivares knew that to be trapped against the mountains would result in the destruction of the Legion, and he ordered a retreat to save as many of his troops as possible.<ref name="H:3039p28"/>
−
−	The Legion evacuated Alrakis shortly after.<ref name="H:3039p28"/> Key to the Legion's defeat on Alrakis was a battle on the morning of the 17th of April, where the lead [[company]] of the Twenty-third's Second [[Battalion]] managed to seize the Talumac Bridge system, the last clear bridge network crossing the Carantha River and a major route into Sigmundrac. If the Legion had retained control of the bridges, it might have been able to keep the Twenty-third out of Sigmundrac.<ref>''Fall of the Hammer''</ref>

−
−	From at least [[3057]] through at least [[3059]], the Eleventh Legion was active on [[Rockland]]. In [[3057]], a small unit with one BattleMech, the [[1st Edo Company]], deserted from the Legion. Two years later, the deserters, breaking down under a rogue Smoke Jaguar bioweapon attack, requested help from the Eleventh. The Eleventh Legion found the remnants of the deserters, took custody of (at minimum) their infected doctor, and studied the gene-targeted parasite.<ref>''Vector''</ref>

The Eleventh Legion was based on the world, but when the Word struck in [[3069]] the combination of a lightning-fast ground attack and orbital bombardments from [[Pocket WarShip]]s proved too much for the Legion.
