Worn down by repeated raids from the [[Clan Steel Viper|Steel Vipers]] and so was understrength when [[Ulric Kerensky]]'s forces landed on [[Evciler]] in October [[3057]]. The Seventh managed to ambush the [[1st Wolf Cavalry (Clan Wolf)|First Wolf Cavalry]] but lost its commanding officer and were defeated in the process.<ref>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', p. 28</ref> During the Falcon Incursion, the Seventh landed on [[Engadine]] where they faced off against militia units and the [[22nd Skye Rangers]]. The Rangers led the Falcon Regulars on a merry chase through the mountains of Engadine, intending to force the Clanners into frigid lakes and rivers. Unfortunately the Seventh kept pushing the Rangers and maneuvered the Lyran unit into a trap. They fought on Coventry against the [[Coventry Donegal March Militia]], where the Seventh lost another commanding officer. Fighting alongside elements of [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Omega Galaxy]], the main objective in the offensive against the Lyran Alliance for the Seventh and the other elements of Rho Galaxy was to blood new warriors; the Seventh subsequently took part in the counterinvasion into the [[Clan Wolf]] Occupation Zone, where Rho Galaxy deemmonstrate that it could still function effectively as an offensive unit - as [[Barber's Marauder IIs]] discovered to their cost.<ref name="FM:Up49">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 49, "Rho Galaxy"</ref> On 19 February [[3068]] the [[7th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|7th Falcon Regulars]] from [[Clan Jade Falcon]] targeted the planet of [[Crimond]].
