In June [[2825]] the [[5th Galedon Regulars|Fifth]] and Ninth Galedon Regulars were mobilized to stop the [[Paul Bunyan Regiment]] [[mercenary unit]] sacking [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] warehouses on [[Zlatous]] for food and much needed supplies after the Combine's attempt at absorbing the mercenaries via the so-called [[Company Store]] ploy backfired. Ordered by [[Coordinator]] [[Jinjiro Kurita]] to destroy the Paul Bunyan Regiment's [[DropShip]]s and seize their [[JumpShip]]s, the Fifth and Ninth Galedon then assaulted the dug-in mercenaries over the course of two months of vicious fighting that laid waste to much of the planet before the survivors of the unit hijacked a Kurita DropShip and fled to the [[Periphery]].<ref name=HKTDC-62>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 62: "Snakes and Sneaks" box</ref>
