===Ronin War===
 
In [[3034]], with the formation of the Republic, a number of [[Draconis Combine]] loyalists would go rogue and invade in an attempt to convince the Combine not to let the breakaway district go. These rogue elements were referred to as ''[[w:ronin|ronin]]'', hence the name "[[Ronin War]]".

By August the Cadre had been whittled down to only a quarter of their original strength. The Kempten government hired a small tank company, the [[Terrible Treads]], to safeguard the planetary capital of Kemptinus. The 2nd Kavalleri were surprised by the ''ronin'' [[17th Rasalhague Regulars]], who were able to sneak onto the planet undetected. Hot-dropping into the Kavalleri's rear areas, they prompted the Cadre survivors to conduct a frontal attack on the Kavalleri's position. Unable to convince the mercenaries to aid them, the Kavalleri was forced to retreat to the city of Nystal. Despite the regiment's superior speed, half of the regiment was lost in the fighting withdrawal from the ''ronin'' forces. By 12th August, elements of the [[2nd Sword of Light]] would arrive in-system, forcing the Regulars (who had absorbed the Cadre's survivors) to surrender.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 117: "Kempten"</ref>

===Invasion of Clan Wolf===
 
===Invasion of Clan Wolf===
In [[3050]], [[Clan Wolf]] and other descendants of General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] invaded the [[Inner Sphere]], including the Free Rasalhague Republic. In April [[3052]], the 2nd Kavalleri's world of Lothan was targeted for invasion by Clan Wolf. The Wolves dispatched their [[328th Assault (Clan Wolf)|328th Assault]] [[Cluster]] to take the planet. The Kavalleri and its 1st Lothan Brigade fought the Cluster in three locations on-world. The heavy weight of the Cluster's [[OmniMech]]s outclassed the [[BattleMech#Light|light]] recon 'Mechs of the Kavalleri, which was demonstrated in the battle near Saldhana. The Wolves used a [[Star]] of assault OmniMechs to push through the Lothan's Infantry Regiment and compromise the 2nd Kavalleri's right flank. In the Battle of Tronsk, a headhunting [[Elemental Battle Armor]] unit discovered and attacked the Regiment's mobile headquarters. The powerful armor tore apart the vehicle with the regiment's staff, with only ''[[Överste]]'' [[Signa Pegrem]] managing to escape. In the final battle for the planet, the unit poorly chose to turn and face the 328th in an open valley where the many members of the unit would be slaughtered. Only five companies of the Kavalleri were able to escape from the planet and fall back to the world of [[Ueda]].<ref>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 34</ref><ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 69: "Lothan (FRR)"</ref>
