In [[3069]], no longer wearing its false colors, the Twenty-second claimed worlds of [[Azha]] and [[New Aragon]] as part of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]. In the attack on Azha, defenders appeared to back off suggesting they had collusion with Twenty-second. However, during the invasion of [[New Aragon]], its defenders took positions in a number of ancient fortress dotting the planet. The Twenty-second utilized chemical weapons to clear them out.

The unit reappeared in [[3072]] as part of a Word of Blake taskforce attempting destroy Regent Princess [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion|Yvonne Steiner-Davion's]] command center on [[Markesan]]. The raid, backed by a Blakist [[WarShip]], failed and the Twenty-second was heavily damaged in the fighting.  The unit took a year to reconstitute its composition enough to be viable force again.
