The Thirty-eighth was one of the regiments of the Marik Militia that took part in [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Kenyon Marik]]'s famous "path to [[Sarna]]" offensive in the opening stages of the First Succession War. Operating alongside the [[19th Marik Militia|Nineteenth]] and [[Twentieth Marik Militia]]s, the Thirty-ninth landed on [[Second Chance]] during the first wave of the campaign in February [[2787]]. Defending Second Chance at the time were the [[Twentieth Liao Lancers]], a newly-formed regiment mustered to defend [[Ramen II]], but which had been redeployed to Second Chance after the [[Third Tikonov Lancers]] had been reassigned to annexing worlds within the [[Terran Hegemony]] in [[2785]]. Also in the Second Chance system was a naval picket from the [[Sarna Commonality Squadron]], consisting of the ''[[Du Shi Wang]]''-class [[battleship]] [[CCS Mica Liao|CCS ''Mica Liao'']] and the ''[[Soyal]]''-class [[heavy cruiser]] [[Solstice|CCS ''Solstice'']].<ref name="FSWp54">''First Succession War'', pp. 54–55: "Initial Victories"</ref>

The Marik Militia task force was escorted by a [[Free Worlds League Navy]] force consisting of the [[FWLS Sorunda|FWLS ''Sorunda'']], an ''[[Atreus (WarShip class)|Atreus]]''-class battleship, and two ''[[League (WarShip class)|League II]]''-class [[destroyer]]s, the [[Ospina|FWLS ''Ospina'']] and [[Otavalo|FWLS ''Otavalo'']]. The Capellan WarShips made an in-system jump to engage the League forces as they began their in-system burn, deploying attack [[DropShip]]s in close proximity to themselves. The ''Ospina'' was lost almost immediately to a mass driver shot from the ''Solstice'', but the ''Sorunda'' moved to engage the ''Mica Liao'' while the ''Otavalo'' led a contingent of attack DropShips in an attack that crippled the ''Solstice''. The battle swiftly escalated, as the ''Sorunda'' used [[aerospace fighter]]s equipped with nuclear weapons to destroy the ''Mica Liao'', prompting the ''Sorunda'' to launch a last attack of her own, also using nuclear weapons.<ref name="FSWp54"/>
