As the unit was too far to participate on the Battle of Terra, it moved to Savannah, where all Dragoons's survivors gathered. By then, the new Dragoon's commander, colonel Henry Kincaid was forced to deactivate all other regiments, leaving the Tarantulas and Wolfsbane Battalion the only active Dragoons' units.[2] Soon after the Dragoons settled on Ilion, Kincaid sent the tarantulas to make two raids against Wolf Empire worlds: New Olympia, where they crushed a full Cluster of cadets from the Allison MechWarrior Institute, making almost all them bondsmen. Later, they attacked Campbelton, to loot a Wolf weaponry factory. There, due to the Wolf leader, Jacinda (Clan Wolf)'s tactical cunning, they suffered a costly defeat, with forteen Dragoons killed. The tarantulas' leader, Major Erik Gamble was wounded. Captain Haya Tetsuhara, now in charge, wanted to continue the attack, but the Dragoons' leader, Colonel Henry Kincaid ordered her to cease the attack and retreat offworld.[3]
