The '''VII Hastati Sentinels''' were formed from the Republic of the Sphere's VII Prefecture.

==History==
===Formation===
The VII Hastati Sentinels (also known as the Seventh Hastati) were formed after the RAF recaptured [[Tikonov]]. The Seventh was composed of units of the Eleventh, Sixteenth, and Twenty-fifth Auxiliaries.<ref name=fm85-180>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 180</ref> After working up, the unit deployed to [[Azha]] in [[3082]] and destroyed [[Ambermarle's Highlanders]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 32</ref> They then went on to [[Halloran V]], fighting there for nearly a year, before relocating to Irian to rebuild.<ref name=fm85-180/>

In [[3085]] the '''VII Hastati''' is stationed on [[Irian]] in [[Prefecture VII]] of the [[Republic of the Sphere]].<ref name=FM3085p187>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 187, "RAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref>

On [[Gray Monday]] the Seventh Hastati were participating in a tour of their Prefecture worlds. They waited on [[Kalidasa]] for several months before moving to reinforce the [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s border with the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]]. The three battalions were deployed to the [[Stewart]], [[Alkes]], and [[New Home]] systems. They waited through [[3132]], [[3133]], and [[3144]], but no attack came. During their return trip to [[Irian]], they discovered that a four way battle had broken out in the system. The Republic decided to leave Irian to the other combatants, and the Seventh moved to the systems that would become the [[Republic Remnant]]. They formed the core of that proto-state's military.<ref name=er3145p41>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 41</ref>

In 3145 the Seventh was split into two units that garrisoned [[Marcus]] and [[Callison]].<ref name=FM:3145p145/>

The Seventh, like all Republic Remnant forces, withdrew to Callison when the [[Wolf Empire]] attacked in earnest in [[3149]]. There they welcomed the [[2nd Fides Defenders]] with deployed, combat-ready 'Mechs instead of open arms. They escorted the Second's commander, Colonel [[Cettina Laurentis]], to a meeting with [[Damien Redburn]] and [[Tara Campbell]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 70, "Extinguishing the Flame"</ref> They also formed part of the honor guard for [[Jonah Levin]] when he arrived on 22 August. After Damien Redburn was relieved from duties, the Seventh was placed under the operational command of Knight [[Ariana Zou]] and reabsorbed into the RAF.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 71</ref>

On March 25, 3150 the Wolf Empire sent the Fifth and Ninth Wolf Battle Clusters to Callison. The Seventh was able to distract the Ninth from the New Roslo spaceport, and stopped the Fifth from reaching Fallosha. Despite this, they had to make strategic withdrawal when the Wolves rallied. During this withdrawal, Knight Ariana Zou was taken as a bondswoman by [[Star Colonel]] [[Krystal Vickers]]. The Seventh fought on for a few more weeks, but eventually withdrew after taking heavy losses.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 85, "Collapse of the Remnant"</ref>
