Clan Invasion of 3050
Steeleton
Steelton was one of the Gamma Galaxy's target worlds in the 1st Wave of Operation Revival. The invasion force consisted of the 12th and its sister unit, the 8th Falcon Regulars. The invasion commander, Galaxy Commander Angeline Mattlov was force to bid the 12th, due their efforts to honor descendant of one warrior whom fought for the Kerenskys, Colonel Francis "Crab" Carranza. Colonel Carranza whom was commander of the Steelton Defense Brigade, inflated their numbers of 'Mechs that require for the 12th partipation. On world the 12th appoarched the planetary capital of Cregan Bluff slowly with the 8th Regulars. The unit's rivary, became problematic as 12th Regulars hindered the 8th Regular's progress and they did the same to them. In outskirts of the city, in town of Chosin, heavy 'Mechs of the unit overran the the 2nd battalion Steelton Defense Brigade position. This action proved disasterous for the Steelton's defenders, as the Colonel Carranza was killed in the action and gambit of falsely claiming brigade of BattleMechs disproved. With the 8th Regulars, they claimed the planet, but was not able to stop the 12th Star Guards and elements of the Brigade from evacuating the planet.[2]
Refusal War
In September of 3057, the 12th Falcons Regulars were garrison force on Colmar during the Refusal War. It faced off in Combat Trial against assaulting Clan Wolf's 352nd Assault Cluster.
The Regulars position themselves to face off with young Wolf supremists of 352nd in the Bright Basin of the Marakaa Valley. The Cluster's Aerospace fighter points were only able to make strafing runs on inbound Wolves due to narrowness of the Valley's walls. With no further fighter cover, the 12th Regular came down from the position basin to meet the Wolves in their respective ranges. The young warriors of the 352nd did not engage the 12th in clan honored rules of Zellbrigen, but engaged single mechs with upwards of entire star's worth of weapon fire. The Regulars having been grouped closely together, became easy targets to Wolves. The Regulars were devastated due to them following tradition rules of zellbrigen, the unit was reduced to only 10 percent of its members survive the out come, among them six Aerospace fighters. However, the unit was able to destroy half of the Wolves' Aerospace fighter and its Elemental infantry forces. Taking no bondsman from the battlefield, the Wolves took Regular's 'Mechs as Isorla.[3]
