Ryuken-ni took part in the battles against the forces from the Draconis March led on an abortive invasion of the Combine by [[Duke]] [[Corwin Sandoval]]. In [[3141]] Ryuken-ni was campaigning on [[Barlow's Folly]] when a pair of [[Narukami (Combat Vehicle)|Narukami Heavy Tank]]s from the regiment fought a notable rearguard action against the [[4th Federated Suns Lancers|Fourth Federated Suns Lancers]]. The commander of ''Tachi'' Company, ''[[Tai-i]]'' Garron Toshido, was carrying his battalion commander in his 'Mech after hers had been destroyed and elements of the Fourth were in pursuit. The crews of the two Narukamis were as unwilling to risk injury to their battalion commander as Toshido was, and volunteered to serve as the rearguard; the two tanks destroyed a dozen of the Fourth's hovertanks as well as six [[BattleMech]]s before finally being overcome by AFFS battle armor.<ref name="TRO:3145DCp28">''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 28: "NK-1C Narukami Heavy Tank"</ref>

During the invasion of the [[Federated Suns]] the Ryuken-ni hit [[New Ivaarsen]] hard. Using their classic overrun tactics, they sowed terror among the troops opposing them. Though the Ryuken-ni took heavy casualties from the [[First New Ivaarsen Chasseurs]], but the world was won.<ref name=FM3145p60>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 61: "Ryuken-ni"</ref>
