===War of 3039===

====Ronin Wars====
At some point prior to 3039, the Twelfth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre was re-formed by the Draconis Combine. They were stationed on the world of Kessel and were attacked by the [[Second Donegal Guards]], the [[Eleventh Lyran Regulars]] and the [[Fourth Skye Rangers]] during the opening moves of the War of 3039. While heavily outnumbered, the Twelfth put up a spirited defense of the planetary capital, Sverdlovsk, and then apparently fled offworld. However, the Twelfth had only gone into hiding while only the unit's [[DropShips]] left Kessel. Later that year, the Twelfth would reveal themselves to raid Lyran positions as well as link up with the [[Second Sword of Light]] and the [[Fifth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]] to drive the Lyrans off of Kessel<ref name="Wo3039p30">''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 30: "Kessel (April–June)"</ref><ref name="Wo3039p74">''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 30: "Kessel (July–December)"</ref>
+
During the [[Ronin War]], the 12th Cadre was considered loyal to [[Marcus Kurita]] and were stationed on [[Rasalhague]] with the [[8th Rasalhague Regulars]].  The 12th Sun Zhang joined the ''Ronin'' during the conflict and fought against the [[1st Tyr]] Regiment on [[Rasalhague]].  When the tide of the conflict turned against them, they broke up into guerrilla bands to keep pressure on the Rasalhague forces, but eventually fled to [[Predlitz]]. There the survivors of the 12th Sun Zhang were destroyed.  Any survivors that did not commit seppuku were executed as traitors to the Combine.<ref name="HBWp104-111">''Historical: Brush WarsNAIS'', p 104-111, "Rasalhague"</ref>
