While on maneuvers on the world Damian in 2902 the Ninth drove off a raid by Helmar Valasek's Pirates.
Third Succession War
In May of 3013 The Ninth conducted a raid on the Federated Suns world Mara. Unfortunately, the unit was outsmarted by the defending Kell Hounds Mercenary unit who managed to steal the Cadre's JumpShip leaving the Ninth stranded.[2][3]
War of 3039
The Ninth Cadre was stationed on Dieron during the entire war and saw no active combat.[4]
Attack on Ingress
The Ninth Cadre launched an attack on Ingress in 3049 when Tai-sa Gitaki Hurunko decided to lead his troops on a 'training mission'. There they engaged their counterparts in the 3rd NAIS Cadet Cadre.[5]
Clan Invasion
As of 3054, the Cadre was not listed on the DCMS unit deployment table and the unit was confirmed destroyed in the Clan Invasion. However the particular details of this occurrence are still unknown at this time.[1][6][7]
