All of the former Kressly personnel underwent security checks administered by the [[Department of Military Intelligence]] and were cleared for service, but the Twelfth was still regarded with suspicion by many. Following the relocation of the Twelfth to the [[Epsilon Indi]] system the commanding officer - [[Colonel]] [[Sadia Okeke]] - hoped that the change in garrison posting would give the regiment an opportunity to reduce the tension associated with the Kressly scandal and thereby allow her to concentrate on developing the Twelfth as a cohesive unit.<ref name="FM:3145p141"/>

As part of [[Operation ERUPTIO]] the Twelfth and [[XII Triarii Protectors]] attacked [[Quentin]]. The Guards held off the planetary militia while the Protectors wrecked military infrastructure. The Twelfth, along with the rest of Army Group Two, landed on [[Ozawa]], where the First Ghost and ''Ryuken-go'' regiments attacked. The Twelfth took the brunt of the initial fighting. However a week later the [[DCMS]] troops withdrew a week after they landed when the Republic's Army Group One landed on Ozawa.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 66, "Fear and Confusion"</ref>

The [[XI Principes Guards|Eleventh]] and Twelfth Principes took part in the Republic's successful liberation of [[Robinson]] for the [[Federated Suns]]. Two [[lance]]s of the fearsome ''[[Marauder IIC]]'' drawn from the Eleventh and Twelfth Principes would brutally savage the [[Draconis Combine]]'s elite [[Seventh Sword of Light]] during the siege of [[Bueller]], downing over fifteen Seventh Sword 'Mechs. Reinforcements from the [[First Ghost]] and [[Ryuken-go]] would ultimately cost half the attacking Principes ''Marauder IIC''s, but the remainder held the line long enough for additional Republic forces to arrive and smash the Combine flanks.<ref name=rg5p10>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 6'', p. 10 "Marauder IIC"</ref>

After Operation ERUPTIO ended, the Twelfth relocated to [[Shiloh]] to rebuild. The Twelfth then joined Second Army Group's attack on [[Phecda]], which began on April 12, 3150. They drove the Wolves' Eleventh Battle Cluster off Phecda. However, loyal Wolf citizens passively opposed the Republic forces on the world, and the Twelfth  couldn't offer effective resistance to three Wolf front-line Clusters that landed in May. They, and the [[2nd Fides Defenders]] withdrew further into the Republic.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 86</ref> When they landed on [[Pollux]], they took time to reorganize. In October 3150 elements of the Wolves' Alpha Galaxy landed on Pollux and attacked the Twelfth with precise and methodical attacks. The Twelfth was effectively destroyed in this combat, with the best surviving soldiers taken as bondsmen.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 91, "The Jaws Close"</ref>
