In her rise prior to her 30th birthday, she would take command Delta Galaxy. By this time she would be recognized as one of the finest military commanders in Clan Jade Falcon.[6][7]
Her Galaxy was part of the first wave of Operation REVIVAL, taking numerous worlds including Winfield, Black Earth, Hot Springs, Romulus, and Seiduts.[8]
On Antares, Samantha led her Galaxy in the delicate task of recovering a Star League-era supply base, which became hotly contested in Trials of Possession among other Clans whom were to share its supplies.[9]
In late 3051, her Galaxy would engage in Trials of Possession with Clan Steel Viper for worlds that the Falcons had already won. Many of these battles would be the fiercest known during the invasion.[10]
On Tukayyid in 3052, her Galaxy was committed to defense of Robyn's Crossing and Plough Bridge against ComStar's 214th and 388th Divisions. However, her and other Galaxy lost their supply depots constant attacks, were force withdraw from the planet.[11]

Among the first of her actions she took as Khan, she issued a standing order that any Trial of Position for position of Star Colonel or Galaxy Commander must be approved by her first. This was due in part of great number depletion of standing commanding officers during the course of the Jihad. She would then tap her former Executive officer of Delta Galaxy, Uvin Buhallin, as her saKhan despite protest of her officers.
Samantha continued the policies of her predecessor, while still maintaining her Crusader political stance.[15]
She would finally step down as Galaxy Commander of Delta, giving command to her saKhan, who had been informally commanding the unit for a decade. Samantha then took command of the rebuilt Turkina Keshik. She prioritized the Turkina Keshik, Epsilon, and Delta Galaxies for new equipment over other frontline and secondary units that otherwise would need it due to their deployment to the frontlines.
