Almost two years to the day after the [[Word of Blake]] officially took control of [[Gibson]], the planet was attacked by forces from the [[Principality of Regulus]]. The task force was formed by the [[Fourth Regulan Hussars]] as the foundation for Operation VIJAY with mercenary support from the [[Thirteenth Stalking Horse]], the [[Wild Geese]], and several smaller mercenary formation (the [[Deadly Burns]], [[Doomsday Brigade]], [[Herculan Muster]] and Johannes' Sting) and gave operational command to retired Regulan [[General]] [[Tomaso Kinchuhara]].<ref name="TCp127">''Total Chaos'', p. 127-129, "GIBSON"</ref>

The Regulan fleet attacked on the 13th of August [[3073]], initially meeting no resistance as they entered the system; however, the ground forces landed by the Regulans were almost completely eradicated by the planets defenders. Leading the Word of Blake defense were two of the infamous [[Shadow Division]]s: the [[49th Shadow Division|49th]] and [[52nd Shadow Division|52nd]]. With the Regulan ground offensive firmly defeated, Word of Blake [[WarShip]]s appeared in-system and shattered the Regulan naval forces, with only a few survivors escaping.<ref name="JHS3076p31+">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 31, p 34, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp52">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 52, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>  Apollyon forced the smaller mercenary commands to surrender, and both Shadow Divisions hunted down the rest of the invaders.<ref name="TCp127"/> Among those units destroyed or badly mauled were the [[4th Regulan Hussars|Fourth Regulan Hussars]], the [[13th Stalking Horse|Thirteenth Stalking Horse]] and the [[Wild Geese]]; a few damaged units managed to escape from the surface of the planet by [[DropShip]] after the Wild Geese sold themselves dearly to buy time, but the losses taken by the Regulan forces overall was compared to the casualties taken in the earliest days of the [[Clan Invasion]].<ref name="JHS3076p41">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 41-42, "Chaos Overwhelming: Dante's Daydream"</ref>
