Two [[Cluster|Clusters]] from Gamma were among the five [[Khan]] [[Ian Hawker]] bid for the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]], assigned to take the secondary target city of Urcunat. Unprepared for the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[8th Army (ComStar)|Eighth Army's]] tactics, both Clusters found their advance stalled and were reassigned to combat attacks from [[31st Division (ComStar)|Thirty-first]], [[56th Division (ComStar)|Fifty-sixth]] and [[85th Division (ComStar)|Eighty-fifth Divisions]] against the Sharks supply lines. Winning the bid to destroy the raiders, the 222nd Assault Cluster quickly encountered the green Eighty-fifth Division, but neither side were able to gain the advantage over the other as the fighting became increasingly brutal.<ref name=T-69>''Tukayyid'', pp. 69–77: "Campaign: Clan Diamond Shark"</ref><ref name=IC-141>''Invading Clans'', p. 141: "Baptism of Fire"</ref><ref name=FMWC-61>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', pp. 61–62: "Summer Storms: Invasion and Upheaval"</ref><ref name=ER3052-63>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 63: "Factions - Clan Diamond Shark - 269th Striker Cluster (The Hammerheads)"</ref>

After the Eighty-fifth tied up the Shark's supply lines for an entire day, [[Star Colonel]] Seth Davis's patience ran out, breaking ''[[batchall]]'' to order the [[369th Striker (Clan Diamond Shark)|369th Striker Cluster]] to assist in obliterating the infuriating Eighty-Fifth, and by doing so ended the Sharks' following ''[[Zellbrigen|zellbrigen]]'' on the battlefield.<ref>''Always Moving''</ref> While the Eighty-fifth finally crumbled in the face of both Clusters, the victory was especially costly for the Sharks with the doomed division taking the 222nd down with them and the Thirty-first and Fifty-sixth Divisions avenging the sacrifice of the Eighty-fifth by tearing the 369th apart. The losses suffered by both Clusters were so extensive that the Diamond Shark Khans opted to disband both, dispersing their survivors to other Clusters, primarily [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Diamond Shark)|Alpha Galaxy's]] [[39th Striker (Clan Diamond Shark)|Thirty-Ninth Striker]].<ref name=T-69/><ref name=IC-141/><ref name=FMWC-61/><ref name=ER3052-63/>
