=== First Clan Ghost Bear/Draconis Combine War ===
+
==Officers==
As a part of Delta Galaxy the Sixty-eighth took an active role in the war between the Ghost Bears, the [[Draconis Combine]] and their [[Clan Nova Cat]] allies. Acting with support from [[Rho Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Rho]], [[Tau Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tau]] and [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Zeta Galaxies]] Delta led strikes against the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] forces on [[Kanowit]] and [[Kiesen]] while battling the Nova Cats on [[Itabaiana]] and [[Labrea]].<ref name="FM:Up61">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Delta Galaxy (The Blitzkrieg)"</ref>
+
As of [[3061]] the Commanding Officer was [[Star Colonel]] Douglas [[Silva (Bloodname)|Silva]]
 
 
=== The Jihad ===
 
The 115th Striker Cluster continued to serve as a part of Delta Galaxy during the [[Jihad]], up until the Cluster was rendered combat-ineffective. As a light, fast-moving Galaxy, Delta Galaxy was heavily tasked during the Jihad when [[Clan Ghost Bear]] launched a series of attacks against the [[Word of Blake]]. Delta Galaxy supported [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta Galaxy]] during the liberation of the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Pesht]] before becoming the lead formation in Delta Wave of the Ghost Bear campaign. Delta Wave saw Delta Galaxy attack and hold the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] worlds of [[Eltanin]] and [[Alya]]<ref name="FR:Cp9"/> in late August [[3075]],<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> securing the flank of the Ghost Bear push towards [[Terra]], before pausing to wait for the Ghost Bear forces in Beta Wave to catch up.<ref name="FR:Cp9">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Delta Galaxy"</ref>
 
  
After Beta Wave caught up with Delta Wave, Delta Galaxy went on to take the Protectorate worlds of [[Kervil]] and [[Sabik]]<ref name="FR:Cp9"/> in attacks launched on the 21st of July [[3076]]<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> and then [[Skondia]] in September 3076<ref name="JHS:Tp22"/><ref name="J:FRp56"/><ref name="JHS:3076p84">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 84, "Ghost Bears Advance in Protectorate"</ref> before surprising friend and foe alike when they appeared in the [[Thorin]] system<ref name="FR:Cp9"/> in [[3077]]<ref name="JHS:Tp54">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 54, "Thorny Thorin"</ref> and savaged the Blakist forces there via an intense orbital bombardment even as the Blakists were being besieged by a contingent from the [[Lyran Alliance]]. While none of the engagements Delta fought in were as brutal or large scale as some of the other Ghost Bear campaigns such as the liberation of [[Dieron]] or [[Dyev]], Delta was in combat almost continuously, and this evoked a heavy toll on the Galaxy; the damage taken through attrition on six worlds was enough that by [[3079]] both the [[68th Striker (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixty-eighth]] and 115th Strikers Clusters had been disbanded<ref name="FR:Cp9"/> and none of the surviving Clusters could muster more than forty-five percent of full strength.<ref name="FR:Cp11">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 11, "Deployment Status"</ref>
+
As of [[3058]] the Commanding Officer was [[Star Colonel]] Romano [[Tseng (Bloodname)|Tseng]]
