In October [[3050]] the Twenty-seventh suffered devastating losses to the invading [[12th Bear Chevaliers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Twelfth Bear Chevaliers]] of [[Clan Ghost Bear]] forces on [[Soverzene]]. A bare handful of Combine soldiers survived the assault, and the unit was not re-formed.<ref name=MFSp35>''My Father's Sword, p 35''</ref> The Twenty-seventh fought alongside the [[Second Alshain Regulars]] on Soverzene; both regiments were determined to exact a toll on the Ghost Bears, and ''Tai-sa'' Yoshiro of the Twenty-seventh and ''Tai-sa'' [[Ano Tars]] of the Second established supply caches across the main continent on Soverzene to support the mobile defense they planned to conduct. Soverzene had two major cities, one of which - Averti - was assigned to the Twenty-seventh to protect. [[Khan]] [[Bjorn Jorgensson]] deployed the entire of [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta Galaxy]] in the assault on Soverzene once he learned that there were two DCMS line regiments on the planet, and the Twenty-seventh found itself facing both the Twelfth and [[14th Bear Chevaliers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fourteenth Bear Chevaliers]]. The Twenty-seventh had prepared a trap near the Killimangero fjords, and used air strikes to herd the two Ghost Bear [[Cluster]]s towards the narrow waterways; aware they were being manipulated, the Chevaliers were cautious in their approach, and when they found two [[companies]] of 'Mechs from the Twenty-seventh waiting at the edge of the waterways, only a single [[Trinary]] was sent forward to investigate. The two companies from the Twenty-seventh used [[jump jet]]s to retreat down one cliff face and then up another, while detonating explosives that tumbled the Trinary down into the fjord.<ref name="ICp24">''Invading Clans'', p. 24-25, "Wave Four: Redemption"</ref>

Whilst the gambit was successful, its effects were limited; only a few of the Chevalier [[OmniMech]]s were destroyed by the trap, and the retreating 'Mech companies were flanked by the Fourteenth, sending many of the Twenty-seventh's 'Mechs into the fjord in turn. It was at this point that Yoshiro counterattacked with the remainder of the Twenty-seventh, emerging from the cover that had been provided by trees within the fjord, provoking the bulk of the Twelfth and Fourteenth Bear Chevaliers to plunge into the waterways to battle them. Yoshiro then quickly led his forces into escape tunnels hewn roughly into the rock, believing that the Ghost Bears were in pursuit, and detonated explosives hidden within the tunnels when his forces were clear. Content that his troops were victorious, Yoshiro led the Twenty-seventh back to Averti, only to fall victim to the Ghost Bears that night; the Ghost Bears had suspected a trap, and used [[Elemental]]s to explore the tunnels while the 'Mechs were battling within the fjord, and those Elementals had found and disarmed the bulk of the explosives. As a result, the attack launched that night at Averti saw the Ghost Bears capture Averti by surprise and with minimal bloodshed.<ref name="ICp24"/>
