The Osaka Mercenary Legion only appears in one scenario in BattleForce. It is not told how the fight ends, but it is expected that some of them are able to escape, though also that any unit left on the board after Osakan's DropShips leave are captured.
The date of the battle is not given in the scenario; neither was the planet where the battle takes place.
