3147 found the Seventh Tamarind Regulars facing the [[Marian Hegemony]]'s [[III Legio]] on [[Tormentine]]. The Hegemony unit inflicted heavy damage on the Third Battalion.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 36, "Tormentine is Burning"</ref> In October elements of the [[II Legio]] and III Legio landed on [[Gibraltar]]. The First Battalion expected a raid in force but promptly redeployed and called for reinforcements when the Legion's mission of conquest became clear. However when the reinforcements arrived, they found the Seventh had withdrawn into the [[Duchy of Tamarind-Abbey]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 38</ref>

Later that same year, the rebuilt Third Battalion of the Seventh raided the Marian Hegemony positions on Gibraltar, but this ended in disaster. The goal was to destroy the Hegemony's supply depots and force the Hegemony to stop its invasion. Unfortunately the Third Battalion overextended itself and the ''legiones'' were able to defeat them in detail. Two companies of the Third Battalion were lost, and the depots were untouched.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 71: "The Sword of Damocles"</ref>

The Seventh had their revenge a few years later when they landed on [[Huntington]] with elements of the [[8th Tamarind Regulars]]. They destroyed most of III Legio's DropShips and hunted down every Marian soldier who had been present on Tormentine.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 89: "Let Freedom Ring!"</ref> They then joined the [[1st Tamarind Regulars]], Eighth Tamarind Regulars, and [[Camacho's Caballeros]] in an assault on the Marian Hegemony held world of [[Illyria]]. They faced [[I Legio]] and destroyed its ''Tertia Cohors''. They also drove II Legio out of their positions and forced them on the run. The remaining ''legiones'' were forced to use guerrilla attacks. This attack was vital to the survival of the Duchy of Tamarind-Abbey, as the attacking Hegemony ''legiones'' returned to reinforce Illyria. Despite these additional troops, the Seventh and other Duchy units had taken firm control of the world.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 90</ref>

===IlClan Era===
 
The beginning of [[3152]], at the dawn of [[IlClan Era]], saw the Seventh sent to invade the [[Wolf Empire]]. Contracted as assault force by the duke were [[Zeta Battalion]] of [[Wolf's Dragoons]]. For the Tamarinds, it was probably the easiest campaign they ever made: the Dragoons, thirsty of Wolves' blood, arrived sooner than expected, using pirate jump points, and by when the Tamarinds arrived, they had already departed to the next target. On [[Labouchere]] and [[Alula Borealis]], The Seventh left a garrison and continued forward. They only catched Zeta at thye third and final target, [[Trellisane]], but after they had driven off the Wolves' garrison.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', ch. 15-22</ref>
