'''Delta Galaxy''' deploys the largest number of ''freeborn'' warriors of all the Hellion front line Galaxies, even allowing them into command Trinaries. This practice has caused some friction within the unit.<ref name=FM:CCp86/>

After [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]'s [[Trial of Annihilation|annihilation]] in [[3060]] by the new [[Star League Defense Force]]'s [[Task Force Serpent]] and elements that had participated in [[Operation Bulldog]], Delta Galaxy was assigned the task of assaulting [[Huntress]] in order to claim the dead Clan's technology for Clan Ice Hellion.<ref name=FM:Up47>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 47: "Delta Galaxy Profile"</ref>

Delta successfully took control of the Path of the Warrior Peninsula. There the unit secured Clan Smoke Jaguar's [[ProtoMech]] technology.<ref name=FM:Up47/> The Galaxy thus became the only formation in the Hellion ''[[touman]]'' to field ProtoMechs in significant numbers. Combined with the attachment of two [[Flurry Cluster]]s by [[3067]], Delta was considered equal in strength to [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Alpha Galaxy]] at this point.<ref name=FM:Up47/>

In [[3070]] the Galaxy move to [[Nouveaux Paris]], arriving in September. Upon arrival Galaxy Commander Damon Haskins faced [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[Khan]] [[James Cobb]] in an arm-wrestling contest for the provisions stored on [[Nouveaux Paris]]. Cobb won but proposed a combined strategy with the Hellions.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 55</ref> While still on Nouveaux Paris it began preparations for the Hellion assault on the Inner Sphere, along with [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Alpha Galaxy]], [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Beta Galaxy]], and [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Zeta Galaxy]].

The Falcons' counterattack retook several systems including Golandrinas.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 28</ref> Delta Galaxy landed on [[Wotan]] to recapture it, but instead found itself dragged into a two month conflict. After two months, Delta left Wotan in Falcon hands. Delta then attacked [[Steelton]], finding the system defended by Hell's Horses warriors. The Horses' aerospace units inflicted some losses on Delta as it grounded, but enough forces remained to defeat the defending [[21st Mechanized Assault (Clan Hell's Horses)|21st]] and [[22nd Mechanized Assault (Clan Hell's Horses)|22nd Mechanized Assault]] Clusters. Steelton was also a supply point for the Horses. Capturing the supply stockpiles helped Delta rebuild, although Galaxy Commander Hawkins was killed in the fighting.<ref name=WoR71/> In early [[3072]] Delta pulled back to [[Evciler]] along with other Ice Hellion units. The Jade Falcons landed three Galaxies on the world and Delta Galaxy was destroyed in the fighting.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 84</ref>
