Delta Galaxy was assigned to take the objective city of Luk together with [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta Galaxy]]. Their advance was checked when the [[91st Division (ComStar)|Ninety-first]] and [[12th Division (ComStar)|Twelfth Divisions]] managed to trap Delta's [[20th Polar Bear Attack (Clan Ghost Bear)|Twentieth Polar Bear Attack Cluster]] and inflict heavy losses.  This action forced Beta and Delta to withdraw and try to reinforce Alpha Galaxy's drive on Spanac.

=== Ghost Bear/Draconis Combine War ===
Delta Galaxy 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]]. The Command Trinary and the [[73rd Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|Seventy-third Battle Cluster]] then returned to Ghost Bear space to shove forces from [[Clan Hell's Horses]] off [[Kempten]] before capturing [[Vorarlberg]] from [[Clan Wolf]].<ref name="FM:Up61">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61: "Delta Galaxy (The Blitzkrieg)"</ref>
