The ''Uraeus'' first known public appearance was in the ranks of resurrected [[1st Division (ComStar)|First Division]] on [[Luyten 68-28]], where it was used against elements of the Republic of the Sphere which were hunting them down. After the destruction of the Com Guards on [[Epsilon Eridani]], the ''Uraeus'' was rapidly adopted by the Republic to help rebuild its tattered ranks after the fall of [[Gray Monday]] in [[3132]], well received by the [[Hastati Sentinels]], [[Triarii Protectors]] and [[Stone's Brigade]] despite being maligned at the same time for its ComStar origins. The 'Mech was frequently used on the RAF's lightning raids outside the [[Fortress Republic|Fortress]], making use of its Celestial stylings to cause confusion among those who encountered it.<ref name=TRO3145RotSp38/>
