Anton’s Revolt
The Second Fusiliers landed on Calloway VI with the First, Second, and Sixth Oriente Hussars, as well as the 6th Defenders of Andurien. There they stopped Wolf's Dragoons Beta Regiment cold. The Dragoons were reinforced by Gamma Regiment, but the Second Fusiliers were able to maintain pressure on the rebel forces. Eventually the 12th Atrean Dragoons and 3rd Ducal Guard, both rebel units, were destroyed.[1] The Dragoons also suffered serious losses. This success came at a high price however: When the fighting on Calloway ended the Second Fusiliers had lost approximately a quarter of their forces.[2]
Later, the weakened Second Fusiliers tried to raid Emris IV, but Wolf's Dragoons Delta and Epsilon Regiment drove them off-world with heavy losses.[3] This ill-advised attack reduced the Second Fusiliers to approximately 40% of their base combat strength.[4]
The Second Brigade took so much damage during Anton Marik's Revolt that two damaged Oriente Hussars regiments were merged into it to speed recovery. This merger triggered a feud with the Ducal Guard that lasted well into the mid-3050s.[5]
Fourth Succession War

Andurien Secession
The Second Fusiliers remained off the front lines until the last part of the war. The Second was part of the first wave of FWLM forces that attacked Andurien. Arriving via pirate point, the Second Fusiliers avoided contact with the defenders, reinforcing the 1st Free Worlds Guards once they had landed.[6] Shortly thereafter they reinforced the 1st Marik Militia and contained a breakout attempt by the 1st Defenders of Andurien.[7] Their greatest action, however, came when they attacked the city of Jojoken alongside the First Fusiliers of Oriente. The Second Fusiliers pinned the defending 5th Defenders of Andurien in place while the First Fusiliers flanked them and struck the 5th Defenders from the rear. The two Fusilier units then ground the Defenders between them, leaving few survivors.[8] This action cost the Fusiliers about 40% of their forces.[9]
In 3048 the Second Fusiliers raided the Gienah Combat Vehicles plant on Gienah, taking plans and armored vehicles, while the 3rd Free Worlds Legionnaires focused on attacking the planet's defenders.[10]
