During the First Wave, the regulars split to strike against two worlds in March 3050. The 8th Falcon's first assigned target was the FedCom world of Anywhere. There on planet they fought the newly arrived 2nd New Ivaarsen Chasseurs, in Trial of Possession. Unfamiliar with the terrain, the 8th Falcons' quickness in their assault were able cause the Chasseurs to make makes that lead to their defeat at Brigham Rollo.[1]
Elements of the 8th Regulars also struck Bone-Norman with the Turkina Keshik. During the initial assault, the planet's defenders aerospace forces attacked Falcon's landing troops. Where in this battle, the Falcon forces dropped on top of the 1st Grave Walkers Regiment's defensive positions help the Turkina maul the mercenaries.[2]
In April, the 8th was dispatched to Steelton, where it and the 12th Falcon Regulars were assigned to take the planet. Leading the planet's defense forces was Colonel Francis "Crab" Carranza, whom was relative of a warrior whom was was part of the Exodus Fleet and died defending General Aleksandr Kerensky in some action. The Vau Galaxy's Galaxy Commander Angeline Mattlov offer a bid to Trial of Possession in way honor Colonel Carranza's hertiage. The Colonel, inflated size and skill of his defending force in return bid for the planet. This forced Galaxy Commander Mattlov to dispatch two Clusters worth of forces fight for control of the planetary capital of Cregan's Bluff and mining facility south of the city. In the course of the battle, the 8th Regulars disrupt its' sister clusters efforts in achieving victory before it could. The enemy was ultimately forced withdraw from the planet.[3]
