	During [[Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS]] the St. Ives Sentinels faced some of the best troops the Republic of the Sphere could field. Though ultimately the Capellans were ejected from Republic space, the Sentinels fought well, inflicting heavy damage to the Republic troops they faced. Particularly noteworthy was the performance of the Sentinels against forces from [[Clan Nova Cat]], even briefly forcing the [[Clan]] forces off [[Capolla]] despite never having faced Clan troops in combat previously.<ref name=FM3085-32>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 32 "Capellan Confederation - St. Ives Sentinels"</ref>		During [[Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS]] the St. Ives Sentinels faced some of the best troops the Republic of the Sphere could field.

Towards the final years of that conflict both units became [[CCAF]] line-forces and were integrated into the [[St. Ives Armored Cavalry]], placing them in a difficult position when the Cavalry followed [[Duchess]] [[Candace Liao]] into independence after the [[Fourth Succession War]].<ref name=FMCC-107>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 107 "St. Ives Sentinels"</ref> More loyal to Confederation than the [[House Davion]] backed St. Ives Compact and with both units consisting of personally owned [[BattleMech]]s, the Mounted Fusiliers and Armored Infantry voted to return to mercenary service. Unwilling to lose both units, Duchess Liao drew upon their decades of faithful service to St. Ives Commonality to convince them to accept mercenary contracts with the newborn Compact, aided somewhat by both units' fears of any welcome waiting for them from [[Chancellor]] [[Romano Liao]].<ref name=FMCC-107/> But units would dutifully serve the Compact through to the bitter conclusion of the Capellan-St. Ives War. While fearful as to their fate in the wake of the conflict, similar to the offer extended to other mercenaries in years prior, Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] gave [[Capellan Citizenship]] and a position as a CCAF reserve regiment to Mounted Fusiliers, with Duchess Candance Liao extending a similar offer to the Armored Infantry. Though lacking the high-profile of the St. Ives Armored Cavalry or the [[St. Ives Janissaries]], in the wake of the reintegration the Sentinels served as the backbone division of the Commonality.<ref name=FMCC-107/> Arguably more loyal to [[Sian]] than [[St. Ives]], the Sentinels found themselves given little respect or logistical support from the [[St. Ives Military Command]] in wake of the Civil War, but gained an unlikely supporter: [[Strategic Military Director]] [[Talon Zahn]]. Taking a personal interest in both units even as they were increasingly snubbed by the SIMC, Zahn assured them full political and material support from CCAF. Time and several key personnel transfers had begun to heal the rift between the Sentinels and the St. Ives Commonality, and by [[3067]] both units were accepted by the mainstream CCAF.<ref name=FMCC-107/><ref name=FMU-29>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 29 "Capellan Confederation - St. Ives Sentinels"</ref> During the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]], the Sentinels would serve as protectors of the St. Ives Commonality, defending its worlds against Davion aggression during [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]]. This conflict would see the Sentinels become both friend and foe to St. Ives Janissaries, destroying the turncoat [[2nd Janissaries]] and welcoming the [[1st Janissaries]] into their number after their brigade was dissolved. Initially kept on the defensive, by the later years of the Jihad he Sentinels were among the forces assigned by the CCAF to aid the recapture of worlds from the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]].<ref name=FRCCAF-19>''Field Report: CCAF'' page 19 "St. Ives Sentinels"</ref> Despite the sterling service of all the Sentinels regiments, all three found themselves regarded questionably by the [[Maskirovka]] in the wake of the betrayal of the 2nd Janissaries. Hoping to excise the stain upon their honor, the original two regiments of the St. Ives Sentinels actively attempted to provoke a conflict between the Confederation and the newborn [[Republic of the Sphere]], with both regiments suspected of raiding into other states, targeting worlds claimed by the forming Republic.<ref name=FRCCAF-19/><ref name="J:FRp100">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 100, "St. Ives Sentinels"</ref> During [[Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS]] the St. Ives Sentinels faced some of the best troops the Republic of the Sphere could field.
