History
Formation
The Second Arkab Legion was originally a planetary militia regiment that the Draconis Combine failed to conquer. When Arkab joined the Combine as an ally rather than a subject, the Arkab Legions were integrated into the DCMS command structure, but had to purchase and maintain their own equipment.
4th Succession War
The Second Arkab Legion sat out the Fourth Succession War.
War of 3039
The Second Arkab Legion was part of the DCMS counterattack, landing on Fellanin II to reinforce the remains of the 4th Proserpina Hussars. The Legion and Hussar forces combined to force the 71st Light Horse Regiment off-world, costing the Light Horse a battalion's worth of soldiers and equipment.[1]

Clan Invasion
The Second managed to keep Star League BattleMechs in working order long after losing the technology to create them, and employed them against the Smoke Jaguars on Hyner. While they lost the planet, they inflicted heavy casualties on the Clan and shot Khan Hoyt's 'Mech out from under him.[2]
Operation Bulldog

Jihad
On February 12, 3071 several asteroids struck Arkab.[4] The 2nd Arkab Legion left their duty station and returned to Algedi to assist in humanitarian relief efforts on the Azami worlds.[5] The 2nd only took this action after the Arkab leadership wasn't able to get any help from the Draconis Combine leadership. Kanrei Kiyomori Minamoto sent several demands and threats to the 2nd Legion and all Arkab leaders, but the Legions refused to leave their homeworlds.
In April 3072 two battalions of the 2nd Legion were destroyed on Algedi by Davy Crockett class tactical nuclear weapons employed by DEST commandos.[6] The DEST teams were deployed to recover DCMS and DCA troops that were taken prisoner by the Arkab Legions when the DCS Siriwan was destroyed after performing an orbital bombardment mission.[7]
Officers
As of 3059, the unit was commanded by Tai-sa Sahalli Odessa. Tai-sa Odessa was still in command in 3067.[8]
Tactics
The Second uses a number of tactics in which speed figures heavily.
