The unit first saw action on an asteroid in the [[Styx]] star system. They were to retrieve the [[Archon-Designate]] [[Melissa Steiner]], who had been [[Silver Eagle Incident|kidnapped]] by the [[Heimdall (organization)|Heimdall]] terrorist group. The Genyosha was to back up an elite ISF commando team sent from [[Dieron]] to assist in the capture.<ref>''Warrior: En Garde'', p. 238: Coordinator Takashi Kurita orders ISF director Subhash Indrahar to send his ISF agents in and call in the Genyosha to assist in the capture</ref> However, once they arrived in the Styx system, they discovered that the ISF raid had failed. Worse, Yorinaga's rivals, the Kell Hounds, were attempting to rescue the hostages.  The two forces clashed with the climax of the battle being the fight between Yorinaga and the Kell Hound leader Lt. Colonel [[Patrick Kell]]. Their heated engagement resulted in Kell being shot down. However, Yorinaga's victory was short-lived.

This turn of events resulted in the escape of the Archon-Designate, the hostages and the Hounds from Kurita space.<ref>''Warrior: En Garde'', pp. 312–318</ref> After Lord Kurita was shot down, the Genyosha withdrew to their DropShips and left the system in defeat.

The Sworders and its supporting unit, the [[36th Dieron Regulars]] had destroyed a main line unit there, but were being overrun by Davion mercenaries forces.  The Genyosha landed on planet and pushed the invaders back from the 5th's Headquarters and seriously mauled the mercenaries, including [[Team Banzai]].<ref>''Warrior: Riposte'', p. 238</ref> The Genyosha do not find Morgan Kell though, but the newly installed Kell Hound third 'Mech battalion, Bradley's Bravos, who are considered fakes.
