Nicholas Crews rose to leader of Gamma Regiment, and participated in the invasion of the [[Federated Suns]]. After the [[Battle of New Avalon (3146)]], his regiment was stationed on the planet [[Parma]]. As his regiment was a little undisciplined, the Dragoons' liaison officer, ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Reiko Akamine]], a hardliner Kuritan, arrested all offending Dragoons, sometimes with fabricated charges, and refused to transfer them to the Dragoons' justice.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', p. 29</ref>

General [[Thomas Brubaker]], leading the Dragoons, arrived at Parma to solve the question, the 25 November [[3150]]. In a meeting with Akamine, she refused to reach an agreement, and, in fact, after the meeting concluded, Brubaker blamed Crews for allowing his troops to be so undisciplined. Then, both received the news of the arrival of a [[Clan Wolf]] envoy.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', p. 36</ref>

The envoy, which was [[Marotta Kerensky]], had a surprising proposition for the Dragoons: he was there to ask them to terminate their contract with the Combine and travel to [[Terra]] to fight there for Clan Wolf against [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. He appealed to their common bonds, and to their old rivalry with the Falcons. Brubaker, though respectful and interested, refused his offer... but Crews, who had problems with the general and their Kuritan masters, was interested, and supported Marotta, saying Gamma was with him.<ref>''Redemption Rift'', p. 53</ref>

The envoy, which was [[Marotta Kerensky]], had a surprising proposition for the Dragoons: he was there to ask them to terminate their contract with the Combine and travel to [[Terra]] to fight there for Clan Wolf against [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. He appealed to their common bonds, to their old rivalry with the Falcons, and with the defiance it will be. Brubaker, though respectful and interested, refused his offer... but Crews, which had problems with the general and their Kuritan masters, was interested, and supported Marotta, saying Gamma was with him.<ref>''Redemption Rift'', p. 53</ref>
  
When Crews openly supported Marotta, even suggesting to the general to send Gamma alone to Terra, Brubaker relieved him of his command, though not yet, to keep up appearances... but that only worsened the situation. Crews, before losing his command, decided to mutiny, taking command of Gamma and leaving for Terra. His subordinate [[Deborah Sheridan]], resenting her punishment for a previous defeat, supported him fully, activating ''War Plan R'', jamming all Dragoons comms except those which Crews wanted.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', pp. 68–69</ref>

The first action of Gamma Regiment was to free their captive Dragoons. Marotta had come with a full company of Wolf OmniMechs as present to the Dragoons. After freeing the captive Dragoons, Crews promoted Sheridan to captain again, and used the freed Dragoons, and others, including Marotta, to create a new company, the ''Black Wolves Company'', under Sheridan's command.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', p. 85</ref>

Knowing that Brubaker and his loyalists will pursue and try to stop the mutineers, Crews planned to ambush the loyalists and capture the general, using his as shield. Gamma Regiment awaited them hidden along their most probable path, in the ''Hatchel Site 22''.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', p. 89</ref>

On 29 November, when they arrived, Crew's rebels sprung the trap. The [[Battle of Parma (3150)]] or the Second Civil War of the Dragoons, had begun. Crews led the assault, along with the Black Wolves. There were few casualties on both sides, but Brubaker's people suffered more, and the General finally admitted defeat, ordering his last fighters to surrender.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', pp. 95–110</ref>

After the fight ended, he participated in the negotiations with Brubaker. In exchange for agreeing to lead the Dragoons to go to Earth, the general demanded Sheridan and Crews to face justice after the battle for Terra. Both agreed.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', pp. 114–115</ref>
