The Draconis Combine would try and fail to take Sevren in [[2995]]. During this effort, the newly formed mercenary unit, [[Barrett's Fusiliers]], would capture an ''[[Overlord]]''-class DropShip from the [[Eighteenth Dieron Regulars]].<ref name="FM:MRp42">''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'', p. 42: "Barrett's Fusiliers: The Light Musketeers"</ref>

In [[3011]], Sevren was under the control of the Lyran Commonwealth and defended by the [[Winfield's Brigade]].  The Draconis Combine [[Battle of Sevren (3011)|attacked]] the world that same year and dealt heavy damage to the defenders. They took control of multiple cities before the [[Second Donegal Guards]] arrived and began to push back against the invaders.  The counterattack was aided by the efforts of [[Lewan Tulmani]] and [[Cynth Tulmani]], a brother and sister scout team piloting ''[[Commando]]'' [[BattleMech]]s from Winfield's Brigade that had escaped destruction from previous Combine attacks. The outcome of this battle is unknown, but the Combine did seize the world on or before 3015.<ref name="TRO3025R"/>

Sevren was [[Battle of Sevren (3024)|reclaimed by the Lyran Commonwealth]] in December [[3024]]. Three [[BattleMech]] regiments, including Winfield's Brigade and the [[Thirtieth Lyran Guards]], dropped on world to drive off the Combine forces. An engagement during this battle involving the use of [[MechBuster]] [[conventional fighter]]s was noteworthy. Four MechBusters delayed a company of Winfield Brigade BattleMechs from seizing a strategic bridge. The Lyrans would seize the bridge, but the company of 'Mechs would suffer 66% losses due to the MechBusters.<ref name=TRP3026Rp50/>

After driving the last Kurita 'Mech offworld the citizens began to rebuild their world. Unfortunately the Nesmith Nuclear Industries plant exploded the day after the last Kuritan [[DropShip]] left the world. The explosion scattered radioactive materials over several square kilometers, including the city of New Cartris. The resulting cleanup activity took three years, but was completed in early [[3028]].<ref name=HSp171/>

====Prior to the Fourth Succession War====
Sometime after [[3025]], [[Colonel]] Kester's [[Battalion]] of the [[Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards]], a unit known for putting down internal revolts, was garrisoned on Sevren.  The unit had just been assigned several examples of the new ''[[Hatchetman]]'' BattleMech that had started production in 3023. When elements of the [[Fourth Proserpina Hussars]] raided Sevren, the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] who were assigned the Hatchetman units lured the Combine troops into the crowded and narrow streets of a nearby city. There the Hatchetman earned its name and saw its first combat.  As the Draconis forces moved into the city to flush out their opponents, a Hatchetman would appear from hiding and catch the raiders by surprise.  The first confirmed combat kill by a Hatchetman was achieved by [[Leutnant]] [[Helimar Senton]]. His dark green 'Mech nicknamed "Alien" was caught on camera by a local news team cleaving the 'Mech of a Combine officer into pieces. The Combine raiders quickly retreated and Senton became a local hero.<ref name="TRO3039p228>''Technical Readout: 3039", p. 228: "Deployment & Notable MechWarriors"</ref>

====Clan Invasion====
In November [[3051]], Sevren came under attack from [[Clan Wolf]] as part of the renewed Fifth Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]]. Rich in mineral deposits and agricultural output the planet was a prestigious target, defended by the [[Twenty-fifth Arcturan Guards]] under the veteran [[Hauptmann General]] [[Gilda Felra]], and so [[saKhan]] [[Garth Radick]] pulled rank to ensure his [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Beta Galaxy]] won the bid to invade Sevren.  Beta Galaxy made their landing on the continent of Carlisle, but were immediately attacked by the Arcturan Guards at Dinton Acres; although the battle was inconclusive it effectively blunted the Wolves' offensive. A second inconclusive battle was fought at Oisten Green, but in the succeeding fight at Bassingale the [[3rd Battle (Clan Wolf)|Third Battle Cluster]] exploited a gap in the Guards' line to penetrate their rear before reinforcements could arrive, putting the Lyrans on the defensive. When at the battle of Mt. Ripchuk a unit of [[Elemental (Battle Armor)#Variants|Headhunters]] destroyed a [[battalion]] headquarters, General Felra ordered a retreat and the Arcturan Guards fled to [[Colmar]].<ref name=WCSp64/>
