Fortunately, the unit was able to outmaneuver the Connaught forces. However, this episode left the 2nd Republican with bad feelings towards the 1st Lyran Regulars.
 
Fortunately, the unit was able to outmaneuver the Connaught forces. However, this episode left the 2nd Republican with bad feelings towards the 1st Lyran Regulars.
  
The 2nd Republicans were stationed on Wasat, when the [[13th Marik Militia]] and the 2nd Sirian Lancers attacked as part of [[Operation Guerrero]]. The Free Worlds League-Capellan invasion left the 2nd on its own, as it conducted a running battle against the pursuing League regiments.  In the course of the running battle, Lt. General Babbitt was killed, leaving command to then [[Kommandant]] [[Suzie Foster]]. After two weeks trying to hold out for AFFC reinforcements, the unit surrendered the planet to Marik forces and withdrew from their homeworld.<ref name=fmlap108>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 108 - "2nd Republican history 3029 to 3058"</ref>

The Lt. General Foster launched a second attack on the 27th of December, attempting to drop her forces directly into the city.  However, they were intercepted by the 12th Vegan Rangers' aerospace wing while the 2nd Republican's DropShips and aerospace assets fought it out with Rangers' wing of fighters.  A testament to the Rangers' aerospace pilots' skills, only a single DropShip managed to drop its forces into the now besieged city.

Over the New Year, the fighting had created a refugee problem, where wasn't until the 20th January, [[3063]] did the 2nd Republicans manage get problem under control. The Rangers, under cover of their Aerospace fighters, struck at a number of military targets from their base in Debeline.  The Rangers dropped on a number of ammunition and parts depots all over the planet.

Foster pushed her Republican troops to push through Gamma's battle lines and broke the Rangers down into smaller units to fight. Debeline was rapidly being reduced to rubble, but the Rangers pushed the 2nd Republicans out of the city.

In early February, the 12th Vegan Rangers' [[Beta Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Beta Regiment]] and [[3rd Republican|3rd Republicans]] regiment arrived, but were unable to break the stalemate in the fighting. The fighting for the Republican's loyalist tipped slightly in their favor when the [[15th Deneb Light Cavalry]] arrived later in the month.  Unfortunately for the 2nd and its sister regiment, elements of the [[5th Crucis Lancers]] had arrived ahead of their reinforcements and with combined of two mercenary regiments struck at the 2nd Republican's base in Algol City.  The resulting battle of Algol City forced the Republicans out of the city, with hundred of BattleMechs destroyed in the fighting. The Republican's DropShips extracted the majority of the survivors from the city, while some managed to get to a landing zone at the city of Remagen.

The Second Republicans, through these brutal attacks of the 5th Crucis Lancers, and 12th Vegan's Beta and Gamma assault against the city, destroyed the unit almost entirely.  Surviving the brutal fighting, General Foster had the 2nd Republican's survivors merge with the 3rd Republicans.<ref name=fccvp54-55>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 54-55 - "Algol, Wave One" - 2nd Republican are devastated by 5th Crucis Lancers.</ref>
