On the 4th June 3052, only two weeks after the Battle of Tukayyid the Jaguars unleashed Delta Galaxy in what appeared to be a scaled down sixth wave. The targets were [[Tanh Linh]], [[Baruun Urt]], and [[McAlister]]. They were the only Clan to even consider such an action. On Tanh Linh the [[42nd Dieron Regulars]] were destroyed by the 3rd Jaguar Cavaliers, and only a rear attack by the arriving [[Second An Ting Legion]] forced the Jaguars off-planet in a pyrrhic victory. The Baruun Ust attack was little more than a heavy raid, beaten back by the [[6th Ghost|6th Ghost Regiment]] of the [[DCMS]]. The 19th Striker Cluster probably carried out this attack. On McAlister the [[8th Ghost|8th Ghost Regiment]] was reduced to a single battalion, before the attackers were forced to pull out. It is likely that this battle shattered the 1st Jaguar Striker Cluster. The failure to take these planets finally appears to have convinced the Jaguars to accept the [[Truce of Tukayyid]].<ref>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', pp. 98, 117–118</ref>

In [[3059]], Delta Galaxy was assigned to Smoke Jaguar's [[Occupation Zone]]. The Galaxy's Clusters forces were split between three worlds in their garrison duties.

===Operation Bulldog===

The [[3rd Jaguar Cavaliers (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|3rd Jaguar Cavaliers]] garrisoned on [[Hyner]] were first face SLDF forces on May 15th.  Cavaliers faced SLDF forces consisting of the elite [[2nd Sword of Light]], and backed up by the [[9th Division (ComStar)|9th ComStar Division]] and [[1st Regulan Hussars]]. Initially the Assault Company from the 2nd Sword of Light engaged in [[Zellbrigen]] with 2nd Cavaliers' 2nd Trinary Battle.  However, the battle turned bad for the Combine forces, and they broke Zellbrigen and called fire support from rest of the 2nd Sword to resolve the situation rolling hills of Kelian Wolds.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 12, 17-18, "Hunting the Hunter" - Battle on Hyner with the 2nd Jaguar Caviliers.</ref>

Delta Galaxy led the counterattack in July 3059. The Command Trinary left its garrison posting with the 3rd Assault Cluster targeting [[Pesht]], hoping to capture the district capital world.  However, they found more than they had bargained for as the world was defended by the [[7th Sword of Light]], [[1st Kell Hounds]], ''[[Ryuken-san]]'' and the [[Clan Wolf (in Exile)|Exiled Clan Wolf's]] [[2nd Wolf Legion (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|2nd Wolf Legion]].  The Command Trinary was targeted by the Wolves and was cut off from the 3rd Assault in a flanking action.  The 3rd Assault in desperation, threw themselves against the Kell Hounds hoping break them, but found themselves attacked from the rear by the 7th Sword and the ''Ryuken-san'' and were shattered and then hunted down in a matter of days.<ref name=DR1036>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 10–13, 36</ref>

On [[Jeronimo]], the Delta's Galaxy Command Trinary left its garrison posting with its' 3rd Assault Cluster as part of Jaguar's inprompt counterattack.  The unit targeted [[Pesht]], hoping to capture the district capital world.  On Pesht, they found there found not what they had expected for defenders.  The unit intelligence had eluded that [[7th Sword of Light]] would be alone defending the planet, not expecting to find additions forces in form of the [[1st Kell Hounds]] & [[Ryuken-san]] Regiments and [[Clan Wolf (in Exile)|Exiled Clan Wolf's]] [[2nd Wolf Legion (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|2nd Wolf Legion]].  The Command Trinary was targeted by the Wolves and was cut off from the 3rd Assault in a flanking action.  The 3rd Assault in desperation, threw themselves against the Kell Hounds hoping break them, but found themselves attack from rear by the 7th Sword and the Ryuken-san. 3rd Assault was shattered, having been hunted down in matter of days.<ref>''The Dragon Roar'', pp. 10-13, 36 Smoke Jaguar Counter Attack - Delta Galaxy's actions during Operation Bulldog.</ref> Galaxy Commander Hang Mehta managed to escape with some of her warriors to Jaguar's rallying point in Periphery.<ref>''Shadows of War'', - Delta Galaxy's Galaxy Commander Hang Mehta shown in command of ad-hoc force of Jaguars returning their lost Occupation Zone.</ref>

At the same time the [[19th Striker (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|19th Striker Cluster]] launched into action from its garrison on [[Kabah]] to hit the Combine world of [[Matamoras]]. Here they were virtually destroyed at the hands of the ''[[Ryuken-yon]]'', supported by local planetary militia and civilians.<ref name=DR1036/> Also lost during this engagement was the ''[[Griffin (Individual Lola III-class WarShip)|Griffin]]'', trying to defend the retreating DropShips against Inner Sphere WarShips. Galaxy Commander Hang Mehta managed to escape with some of her warriors to the Jaguars' rallying point in the Periphery and then retreat to [[Huntress]].<ref>''Shadows of War''</ref>

As part of the Counter-Attack, the [[19th Striker (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|19th Striker Cluster]] launched into action from its garrison on Kabah to hit behind Combine world of [[Matamoras]].
 +
The 19th Strikers found no frontline garrison forces on planet, however they were frustated by local civilian population's resistence and the two garrison regiments of local troops.  Attacks on Striker's forces on ground lead to its Star Colonel bring his forces together, instead of leaving them spread apart on planet.  The 19th then meet its destructions at hands of [[Ryuken-yon]] in combination of local planetary defenders and civilians.<ref>''The Dragon Roar'', pp. 10-13, 36 Smoke Jaguar Counter Attack - Delta Galaxy's actions during Operation Bulldog.</ref>
