History

In 2823 Khan Lisa Buhallin unsuccessfully bid four clusters from Delta Galaxy to take on Clan Wolverine in the Trial of Annihilation.[1]

Operation Revival

The Galaxy took part in fighting on the following worlds:

Wave One

Wave Two

Wave Three

Wave Four

Wave Five

Post Tukayyid

Was understrength for a number of years following Operation Revival, with just two Clusters pulling garrison duty on Alyina and Hot Springs. [2] Reinforced with two additional Clusters in 3057 for expected action against Clan Steel Viper they eventually ended up fighting in the Refusal War against Clan Wolf. As of 3059, Delta was the strategic reserve for the Rimward area of the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone. Athough at this time none of it's component Clusters was considered fully operational. [3]

Jihad

Great X

Took part in an assault on the Lyran Alliance world of Great X in 3071[4]

Dark Age

Delta Galaxy was one of the Jade Falcon units to follow Malvina Hazen in her assault. They took part in the fighting on Skye, and participated in a drive on Coventry. Unfortunately this exhausted them, and they needed time to recover. However, by the time the Falcons hit Tharkad they were ready for combat. They participated in the Falcon assault on Tharkad, but were driven off-world. In 3145 they raided several systems near Tharkad and this allowed them to keep their edge, but Clan Wolf-in-Exile constantly posed a threat to their supply lines.[5]

Officers

Galaxy Commander Samantha Clees led Delta Galaxy during Operation Revival until the Refusal War after which she was promoted to saKhan, but retained command of the Galaxy until at least 3067.[6]

Uvin Buhallin was Galaxy Commander during the 3070-3071 incursion until he was injured on Morges, after which Lee Newclay took over command of Galaxy.[4][7][8]

In 3134 they were commanded by Galaxy Commander Malvina Hazen. [9]

In 3145 the commanding officer is Galaxy Commander Stephanie Chistu. Her aide was Star Colonel Kimberly Mattlov.[10]
