The [[Clan Invasion]] found him still living in [[Tharkad]]. Appalled upon learning of the fall of his homeworld to [[Clan Jade Falcon]] during the opening waves of the Clan Invasion, Adam successfully convinced the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]] to be allowed to launch a reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines to gain valuable intelligence on the invaders. Leading an ad hoc multinational unit dubbed the [[First Somerset Strikers]], Adam's unconventional unit took an indirect route to Somerset and against all odds succeeded in capturing the world for the [[Federated Commonwealth]] in November [[3050]].
