Mirroring the actions of its senior counterparts, the '''Second Kearny Highlanders''' were formed from the mining colonies on [[Kearny]] in [[2363]], and served as one of several [[Capellan]] regiments on [[Lopez]] and [[Berenson]] against [[House Marik]] between [[2366]] and [[2368]]. They took part in the occupation of [[Demeter]] in [[2761]], but were quickly withdrawn to deal with an insurrection on [[Hsien]] in [[2762]]. After breaking with the Capellan government in 2761 over a contract dispute, the mercenaries of [[Gladstone's Gladiators]] threatened to destroy the Hsein munitions dump and water purification plants if their demands were not met. A midnight raid by volunteers of the Kearny's 1st Battalion retook the munition depot, and the Gladiators abandoned the planet.

The Second Kearnys spent the years [[2762]] to [[2802]] tracking down and destroying the Gladiators as a demonstration of the Confederation's resolve. In September [[2802]], the Kearnys learned from the [[Maskirovka]] of the impending arrival of the Gladiators on the Marik world of [[Zion]]. Borrowing transport and equipment from the Maskirovka Special Operation Branch, the Second secretly arrived on Zion ahead of the Gladiators. The Kearnys waited until the rebels completed offloading before they attacked. [[aerospace fighter|AeroSpace]] suppressing fire kept the mercenaries' [[DropShip]]s on the ground, and the surprised Gladiators, unable to withdraw, were destroyed to the last man. The Second salvaged ten ''[[Ostroc]]''s and three ''[[Assassin]]''s before Marik reserves forced their withdrawal.

Since that time, the Second Kearnys have had a particular antipathy for mercenaries of any kind, both their own or those of other Successor States. In the defense of [[Lincoln]] against [[Kurita]] mercenaries in [[2802]], the Second  refused to give quarter to [[Daemian's Destroyers]], despite repeated pleas on the part of the Kurita defenders to be allowed to surrender.
