During the [[FedCom Civil War]], the Seventeenth Skye Rangers were pro-Victor. They were defeated on [[Lost]] and the survivors tried to join Victor's forces on [[York (LC)|York]]. Their presence would have enabled Victor to utilize York as a fallback position should his assault on [[Alarion]] fail.<ref>''Storms of Fate'', ch. 5</ref> However General [[Maria Esteban]] pulled a political trick and talked [[Robert Kelswa-Steiner]] into ordering the Seventeenth to return to [[Skye]] instead.<ref>''Storms of Fate'', ch. 9</ref>

The Seventeenth was practically destroyed late in the campaign, with barely a company surviving. While the survivors managed to keep their unit from being disbanded, the Seventeenth was effectively reduced to a paper regiment, and with resources diverted to rebuilding more combat-effective Skye regiments, this state of affairs looked unlikely to change in the near future.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 173: "Seventeenth Skye Rangers"</ref>
