The Twelfth was noted to have taken to the swift-moving combination of speed and firepower that the new Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth was trying to instill, compared to the plodding wall of metal that the Lyran military was often accused of fomenting.<ref name=JFSp26/>+ In [[3046]] the Twelfth was stationed on [[Ryde]] alongside the native [[Ryde Militia]].

The Prince-heir lacked any combat experience and had been assigned to the Twelfth after his recent graduation with honors from the [[Nagelring]].<ref>''Lethal Heritage'', p. 63</ref> Within 30 minutes of the commencement of the battle, innumerable pockets of soldiers died after poor communication hampered their coordination, with many sacrificing themselves to rig explosives or slow the invaders. Feigned or tactical retreats cost more and more troops, as delaying actions were ignored by the onrushing Falcons, despite Kommandant Davion's and others' attempts. The Prince and his battalion prepared to be overrun until the [[Red Brigade]] appeared in the Falcon rear. Even with the surprise of the shielded ambushers, the remaining Lyrans were unable to escape for long. Rejoining RCT command, Victor Davion attempted to formulate a plan with the remaining forces. Leftenant General Hawksworth saw the expected outcome of the fighting and the effect the capture or death of the Prince would have on the nation. He also knew the FedCom still controlled the skies and soon forcibly evacuated Victor with his aide, [[Galen Cox]]. The unit was destroyed during the brutal fighting against the elite [[Jade Falcon Guards (Clan Jade Falcon)|Jade Falcon Guards]] and the supporting [[1st Falcon Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|First]] and [[5th Falcon Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|Fifth Falcon Striker]] Clusters,<ref name=lh109>''Lethal Heritage'', p. 109</ref> though the remains of the Twelfth and Red Brigade escaped to the mountains and forested areas, fighting a guerilla campaign for many months behind enemy lines.<ref name=JFSp26/> + In [[3050]] on [[Trell I]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] deployed three full Clusters against the unit in an attempt to capture [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] who had been assigned to the Twelfth after his graduation from the [[Nagelring]]<ref>''Lethal Heritage'', p. 63</ref> Even with the help of the [[Red Brigade]], the unit was destroyed during the brutal fighting against the elite [[Jade Falcon Guards (Clan Jade Falcon)|Jade Falcon Guards]] and the supporting [[1st Falcon Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|1st]] and [[5th Falcon Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|5th Falcon Striker]] Clusters.<ref name=lh109>''Lethal Heritage'', p. 109</ref><ref name=JFSp26>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 26, "Trell I"</ref> ==Officers== ==Officers== Line 35:
