Holmsbu was defended by the [[7th Corrugated Lancers|Seventh]] and [[8th Corrugated Lancers|Eighth Corrugated Lancers]], conventional armored regiments supported by infantry, who were unprepared for both the superior training of the Clan forces and their significantly superior technology and who were swiftly forced to surrender.<ref name="ICp30">''Invading Clans'', p. 30: "First Wave"</ref> =====Soverzene===== The Twelfth fought and destroyed the [[27th Dieron Regulars]] on October [[3050]] as part of wave four of Operation Revival.<ref name=MFSp26>''My Father's Sword'', p. 26</ref> ====Wave Five==== ====== Kempten ====== In December [[3051]] the Twelfth Bear Chevaliers deployed the [[712th Assault (Clan Ghost Bear)|712th Assault Trinary]] to capture Kempten, one of four attacks launched by the Ghost Bears prior to the end of 3051. The defenders on Kempten consisted of just the [[Kempten Border Legion]], an aging formation in every sense of the word - ancient 'Mechs, ancient combat vehicles and aging warriors. The Border Legion was under no illusions about its chance of receiving reinforcements because of the ferocious pressure the Free Rasalhague Republic was under, but were determined to fight; despite the dire state of affairs the Border Legion was in, the 712th Assault Trinary approached the campaign with some trepidation because of the recent loss that [[Clan Smoke Jaguar|Smoke Jaguar]] forces had recently taken on [[Wolcott]].<ref name="ICp34">''Invading Clans'', pp. 34–33: "Wave Five"</ref> The Legion engaged in a ''batchall'' with the 712th, and agreed to fight in an amusement park named "Precious Plight"; the Legion agreed to a stand-up fight with the superior Ghost Bear forces, but primed the amusement park for the battle by hanging mirrors throughout the amusement park, with the mirrors at all angles, resulting in the 712th landing in the middle of a disorientating carnival of light and sound. The confusion allowed the Legion to strike from cover, with the Legion's ''Devastator'' battalion inflicting heavy damage while the confused Ghost Bear warriors struggled to spot the Legion forces. The 712th recovered quickly, though; beginning their fight back by destroying the Legion's tank forces, the 712th then pushed the Legion's 'Mech forces back to Sacrifice Mound before crushing them.<ref name="ICp34"/> =====Krenice===== The Twelfth Bear Chevaliers fought the [[5th Amphigean Light Assault Group|Fifth Amphigean Light Assault Group]] on [[Krenice]] in March 3052. The Fifth scored some successes against the Chevaliers initially, beginning with raining fire onto the Chevaliers from positions in the Bellow Canyon as the Chevaliers landed. The Twelfth then spent a frustrating interval attempting to flush the Fifth out of the rock formations while the Fifth attacked the Chevaliers' supply lines, interfered with communications and launched the occasional assault. This continued until the Chevaliers managed to flush the Fifth out using aerospace fighters, giving the Chevaliers the opportunity to stop chasing the light 'Mechs of the Fifth fruitlessly and instead begin actively herding the Combine forces towards the city of Hasnorvan.<ref name="ICp34"/> Hasnorvan was in the opposite direction to the Fifth's DropShips, but ''Tai-sa'' [[Helen Cassidy]] did her best to gain what successes she could from a bad situation; small units broke off from the Fifth launched hit-and-run raids against the Chevaliers, perhaps the most successful of which saw a company from the Fifth lead the Chevaliers on an extended wild goose chase through LightDraught Woods, getting the Chevaliers so completely lost in a couple of hours that the Chevaliers had to break off their pursuit and call for assistance from their aerospace forces to lead them out of the Woods.<ref name="ICp34"/> The Fifth finally fell in battle near Hasnorvan; Star Colonel [[Douglas Silva (12th Bear Chevaliers)|Douglas Silva]] had deployed the [[12th Bear Chevaliers|Sixty-third Assault Trinary]] ahead of the rest of the Chevaliers, and the Sixty-third had dug in and waited for the Fifth to move into range. As the Sixty-third engaged the Fifth the rest of the Chevaliers attacked, catching the Fifth in an interlocking attack that swiftly destroyed the Fifth.<ref name="ICp34"/> ====Tukayyid==== They fought and decimated the [[121st Division (ComStar)|121st Division]] of the [[Com Guards]] on the march to Luk, but were forced to turn back. They helped to hold Spanac against raids by the [[91st Division (ComStar)|Ninety-first]] and [[12th Division (ComStar)|Twelfth]] [[Level IV|Divisions]]. ===3061=== The unit was rebuilt with extra [[Elemental]] forces. ===First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War=== The [[1st Combine-Dominion War|First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War]] erupted in [[3062]] following a suicidal attack by three [[regiment]]s of the [[Alshain Avengers]] against [[Alshain]]. The Chevaliers were sent to the [[Clan Nova Cat]]–held world of [[Mualang]], launching a premeditated strike that was part of a strategy to tie up [[Clan Nova Cat]] forces, preventing them from aiding their [[Draconis Combine|Combine]] counterparts while Beta Galaxy launched attacks against the worlds of [[Dumaring]] and [[Najha]].<ref name="FM:Up60">''Field Manual: Updates'', pp. 60–61: "Beta Galaxy (Night Howlers)</ref> === The Jihad === ==== Pesht ==== As a part of Beta Galaxy the Twelfth Bear Chevaliers took part in the Ghost Bear campaign against the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]]; Beta's first target was [[Pesht]],<ref name="FR:Cp9"/> which the Ghost Bears hit on the 15th of December [[3074]], the same day their forces also struck at [[Luthien]]. The Ghost Bear forces attacked the Blakist forces remorselessly, making no attempt to offer ''[[zellbrigen]]'' to their opponents on either world; the Ghost Bears also destroyed any [[DCMS]] units that attempted to intervene, and by the 20th of December had crushed their enemies on both worlds.<ref name="JHS3076p55">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 55: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp53">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 53: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> ==== Kaus Media and Ascella ==== Beta Galaxy then abandoned Pesht at the end of January [[3075]], as abruptly as they had arrived;<ref name="J:FRp53"/><ref name="JHS:Tp14">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 14: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref> the Ghost Bears organized their forces to drive towards [[Terra]] in several waves, each named after the lead Galaxy in that wave.
