Jihad
Stationed at Idlewind when the Jihad began, the Seventh Sword of Light lost its two JumpShips when the Black Dragon Society destroyed the recharging station. Eventually the unit made it to Albeiro, stabilizing a volatile situation. After that they attacked and destroyed the traitorous 15th Dieron Regulars in the Xinyang Prefecture, working closely with "inquisitor squads" from the Internal Security Force and Order of Five Pillars. During Operation SCOUR they were stationed along the Ghost Bear Dominion/Combine border to dissuade any adventurism by that Clan. After Terra's liberation the Seventh Sword of Light was stationed on the Combine/Federated Suns border world of David.[5]
