After years of simulated battle, the 472nd would see real combat when the Word of Blake launched a [[WarShip]] assault against Tukayyid in January [[3068]]. The [[aerospace fighter]]s of the 472nd would join those of the 278th in assisting the ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz#Named_Vessels|Blake's Vengeance]]'' and the ''[[Essex]]''-class ''[[Essex#Named_Vessels|Hammerstrike]]''s unsuccessful counterattack against the [[McKenna (WarShip class)#named_vessels|''McKenna''-class ''Blake's Sword'']] and the [[Essex#Named_Vessels|''Essex''-class ''Deliverance'']]. While able to inflict heavy damage against the ''Deliverance'' the 472nd's forces in orbit were shattered along with the rest of the Com Guard defenders, with the ''Blake's Sword'' then able to unleash orbital bombardments against ground based troops. Caught away from their underground bunkers, the bulk of ground elements of the 472nd suffered severe casualties.<ref name=DotJ>''Dawn of the Jihad'', pp. 88–89: "Tide of Fire - Tukayyid Hit, Heavy Casualties Reported"</ref><ref name=BA>''Blake Ascending'', pp. 88–89: "Tide of Fire - Tukayyid Hit, Heavy Casualties Reported"</ref>
