==History==
Immediately prior to the Clan Invasion, the green ranked 121st Division, a IV-Eta mix referred to by the nickname of ''Effective Action'', was assigned to the [[2nd Army (ComStar)|Second Army]] and was headquartered on the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Galtor III]].<ref name=20YU-70>''20 Year Update'', p. 70: "2nd V-lambda"</ref>

Nominally attached to the [[2nd Army (ComStar)|Second Army]], the hundred and twenty-first was transferred to bolster the units of [[1st Army (ComStar)|First]] and [[4th Army (ComStar)|Fourth Armies]] facing Clan Ghost Bear. Attempting to hinder the Ghost Bears advance on Luk, the hundred and twenty-first was decimated by the Bears [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta Galaxy]], suffering such heavy losses that the [[Precentor Martial]] chose to retire the division instead of rebuilding it.<ref name=CO70/><ref name=Tuk48>''Tukayyid (scenario pack)'', p. 48</ref><ref name=IC-29/><ref name=FMCS-22/>

==Notes==
 
==Notes==
* The 121st Division is incorrectly listed as the [[211th Division (ComStar)|211th Division]] in ''20 Year Update'', the unit's nickname, placement in the Second Army and destruction listed in ''ComStar'', ''Tukayyid'', ''Invading Clans'' and ''Field Manual: ComStar'' confirm that the second 211th was meant to be the 121st.
+
* Another of those barely there units, the 121st was first mentioned by name and nickname as being destroyed in the identical text in ''ComStar'', ''Tukayyid'' and ''Invading Clans''. The Army it belonged to comes from ''Field Manual: ComStar'', but was not mentioned in [[20-Year Update]] so must of been transferred into the Second after the [[Clan Invasion]] began but prior to Tukayyid.<ref name=CO70/><ref name=Tuk48/><ref name=IC-29/><ref name=FMCS-22/>
