The '''Second Wolf Legion''' is a military formation of [[Clan Wolf in Exile]].

==History==
The [[37th Striker (Clan Wolf)|Thirty-Seventh Striker Cluster]] would effectively cease to exist as a unit during the [[Refusal War]], with [[ComStar]] intelligence indicating its commanding officer, the infamous [[Marcos Radick]], to have died in that conflict. In the war's aftermath, several survivors from the Thirty-seventh apparently made their way to [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]]. A few remaining Warden warriors from the [[341st Assault (Clan Wolf)|341st]] and [[352nd Assault (Clan Wolf)|352nd]] Assault Clusters joined up with survivors of the Cluster and were integrated in order to rebuild it.<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 155</ref>

The re-forming Cluster was itself transformed in late [[3058]] into the Second Wolf Legion as the [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile|exiled-Wolves]] reorganized their forces, with most of the Second's officer corps coming from the old Thirty-seventh Striker.<ref name=FM:WCp159>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 159: "2nd Wolf Legion (The Blood Kits)"</ref> The Cluster was still forming when it was deployed in [[Operation BULLDOG]] to [[Pesht]], here it was attacked and almost destroyed during the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar| Smoke Jaguar]] counterattack in August 3059, during which Star Colonel Deener Vickers was killed.

After the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3064)|Jade Falcon Incursion]] of 3064 the Cluster took up a garrison position on [[Pasig]].<ref name=fmup80>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 80</ref> Rumors that [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] forces were staging raids into Clan Wolf territory hunting for former warriors of the 37th Striker Cluster were a worry to Star Colonel Alexia, she even suggested taking a [[Binary]] of those troops to [[Tukayyid]] to allay the FRR concerns.<ref name=fmup69>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 69</ref>

===Jihad===
During [[Operation SCOUR]] the Legion along with the rest of Beta Galaxy was assigned to Group IV of the [[Free Worlds League]] campaign. Their first action was on [[Skye]] alongside [[Clan Wolf|Clan Wolf's]] [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Delta Galaxy]] and [[Stone's Lament]], here they faced the Word's [[3rd Division (Word of Blake)|Third]] and [[18th Division (Word of Blake)|Eighteenth Divisions]] finally forcing the Blakists to withdraw after weeks of fighting.<ref>''Total Chaos'', pp. 54–55</ref> They fought on [[Talitha]]<ref name="jhst45">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 45–46: "Talitha, Berenson Capitulate"</ref> and were involved throughout the campaign.

In [[3077]] the Legion, along with Beta Galaxy forces, landed on [[Chara]]. There they faced off against the [[Steel Guard]], a former [[Free Worlds League]] unit that had joined the [[Word of Blake]]. The Steel Guard fought the Legion to a standstill, and though the Wolf forces inflicted heavy losses on the Blakist defenders, ultimately they had to retreat offworld.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 48: "Chara Operational Report"</ref>

By the time Beta Galaxy landed on [[Pollux]] for rest and refit, it was barely able to muster a [[Cluster]] of troops. This still left them the largest formation of Group IV.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 80</ref> The survivors later joined the actions on [[New Canton]], [[Tall Trees]], [[Saiph]], and [[Asuncion]].<ref name=frc22>''Field Report: Clans'', p. 22</ref>

===Dark Age===
The Second Wolf Legion defended [[Incukalns]] from [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces in the late 3140s. They were eventually driven off, but not before Elementals equipped with [[Black Wolf]] and [[Cuchulainn]] battle armor destroyed several Stars of Falcon 'Mechs.<ref name=45TCp10/>
