While elements of Delta Galaxy survived the [[Refusal War]], Delta as a whole did not. Its component Clusters had taken heavy casualties and the only surviving cluster that was relatively intact was the 4th Striker. It was temporarily assigned to [[Clan Jade Wolf]]'s Tau Galaxy for all of nineteen days, until the Wolf Clan was resurrected.<ref name=CWOK32>''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', p. 32</ref><ref name="FM:CCp145"/><ref name=F&W468>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', pp. 46–48</ref>

Delta Galaxy was re-formed by reassigning units that had belonged to [[Sigma Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Sigma Galaxy]] prior to the start of the Refusal War. These clusters were themselves reforged losing all ties to their previous incarnations.<ref name="FM:CCp145">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 145: "Delta Galaxy: The Snarling Wolves"</ref>

During the [[Jihad]] Delta Galaxy was assigned to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] thrust of [[Operation SCOUR]]. On [[New Home]] they faced off against an [[SDS]] that surrounded the planet, and they fought alongside forces from [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and [[Clan Ghost Bear]] as well. With so many Clan forces on the world, it appeared that they allowed their competitive nature to work against them. The assault on New Earth was a failure, with all Clan forces taking serious losses. Fortunately the assault destroyed at least one [[Protectorate Militia]] division and located a missing [[Shadow Division]].<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 66</ref><ref>''Total Chaos'', p. 229</ref> Delta Galaxy relocated to [[Rigel Kentarus]], where they staged several [[Trial of Possession|Trials of Possession]] against the Ghost Bears for supplies taken during the offensive.

During the Jihad Delta Galaxy receives a +2 Initiative bonus when fighting the Word of Blake. They dislike most Inner Sphere units they fight alongside unless Devlin Stone is in command. If Stone isn't in command, the Delta Galaxy Wolves will deliberately ignore enemy fire on an allied Inner Sphere unit for two turns after the allied unit is attacked.<ref name=JTP:Hp8/>
