−	Defending Jabuka were the [[Fifth Rasalhague Regulars]], commanded by [[General]] [[Hichi Kanuchiwan]], when the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] dispatched the [[Nineteenth Arcturan Guards]] to capture the planet in the opening wave of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the major [[Lyran Commonwealth]] offensive of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. The Nineteenth's Commanding Officer, [[Leutnant-Colonel]] [[Yvonne Deltra]], won a minor skirmish against the Fifth, prompting an extreme response from General Kanuchiwan; shocked and shamed by his defeat at the hands of a Lyran woman, Kanuchiwan committed ''seppuku''. This left his Executive Officer commanding the Fifth; unfortunately for the Fifth, Kanuchiwan's XO was a poor tactician, and within a week the Nineteenth had forced the Fifth to abandon Jabuka.<ref name="NAIS4SWp51">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 51: "Other Early Action"</ref>	+	Defending Jabuka were the [[Fifth Rasalhague Regulars]], commanded by [[General]] [[Hichi Kanuchiwan]], when the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] dispatched the [[Nineteenth Arcturan Guards]] to capture the planet in the opening wave of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the major [[Lyran Commonwealth]] offensive of the [[Fourth Succession War]].

There they fought against the [[Fourth Royal Guards]] and the [[Thirteenth Arcturan Guards]]. The Lyrans were able to separate the Regulars from their dropships, but were unable to land a killing blow against the [[DCMS]] units due to their maneuverability. The Combine troops were then able to turn the tables with their speed and land several damaging blows with lightning raids. This led to the phrase "a Kobe dance" arising in the [[Draconis Combine]] to honor the Regulars victories. The phrase was used to describe a small, fast opponent maneuvering around a heavier, slower one.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 44: "In the Manner of a Fantasy"</ref> At the end of the Second Succession War, the Fifth Rasalhague Regulars returned to their posting on Halesowen.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 97: "Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery: Deployment Table"</ref> ===Third Succession War=== In [[3025]] the unit was stationed on [[Jabuka]].<ref name=HKDCp135/> ===Fourth Succession War=== Defending Jabuka were the [[Fifth Rasalhague Regulars]], commanded by [[General]] [[Hichi Kanuchiwan]], when the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] dispatched the [[Nineteenth Arcturan Guards]] to capture the planet in the opening wave of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the major [[Lyran Commonwealth]] offensive of the [[Fourth Succession War]].

To destroy the invaders, the High Command dispatched ''[[Ryuken-ni]]''. After stinging the Regulars for three days, ''Ryuken-ni'' sent their entire force against the Regulars' lines. This attack smashed two-thirds of the unit completely, and the remaining Regulars surrendered when they discovered they were surrounded.
