In the aftermath of the [[Jihad]] Quinn Kerensky continued to command Gamma Galaxy, but the Galaxy found itself undergoing a relatively quiet period after a decade of turmoil. Gamma raided the worlds of [[Laurent]] and [[Vulcan (system)|Vulcan]], but found no defending forces to fight; a planned raid on [[Dustball]] was blocked by Khan Clees, and with the Khan's order that all defensive bids against forces from [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] be set high to generate the impression that any raid would run the risk of provoking a major conflict, Kerensky found her options restricted. She responded by concentrating on the task assigned to her - rebuilding Gamma Galaxy into an effective operational unit capable of conducting offensive operations.<ref name="FM:3085p117">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 117: "Gamma Galaxy (Jade Falcon Galaxy)"</ref>

During the rise of [[Malvina Hazen]] and the [[Falcon's Rending]] in the mid-thirty-second century Gamma Galaxy was shattered. The Galaxy was then subsequently rebuilt with new [['Mech]]s and new [[Cluster]]s. Light, mobile Clusters were added to the existing heavy Talon units, and the rebuilt Gamma Galaxy led the feint made by the [[Golden Ordun]] that reached towards [[Coventry]] in [[3141]]. Working alongside [[Clan Hell's Horses]], Gamma Galaxy pushed through the mercenary and [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] troops in their path, shielding the Gyrfalcons and stopping close to Coventry itself. Gamma Galaxy was still in place in [[3145]] but had raided the nearby worlds of Coventry and [[Loxley]] continuously, targeting industrial sites and forcing the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] defenders to spread themselves thin; while the tempo of raids kept the Lyrans off-balance and unsure where to defend, they also eroded the strength of Gamma Galaxy, making it unlikely that a major offensive could be launched.<ref name="FM:3145p156">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 156: "Gamma Galaxy (Jade Falcon Galaxy)"</ref>

In [[3150]] two Clusters were dispatched to support [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy's]] assault on [[Coventry]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 49</ref> After they withdrew, Gamma was dispatched to [[Lyons]]. On the world they followed [[Malvina Hazen]]'s orders and began destroying civilian targets and agricultural fields. These tactics brought the [[Republic of the Sphere]] defenders into the field and allowed the Falcons to destroy them.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 92</ref>
