The 203rd Division was one of the many Com Guard units disbanded in the wake the Battle of Tukayyid.

History

Prior to the inital Clan Invasion the vetran-rated 203rd Division was known by the nickname of Stronge Messages and assigned to the 3rd Army. Then a IV-xi based formation, the 203rd's headquarters world was Tawas in the Davion side of the Federated Commonwealth.[1]

Along with the bulk of the relatively green Third Army, the Two-Hundred and Third Division joined the 11th Army in defending against Clan Jade Falcon during the Battle of Tukayyid , both armies taking heavy losses but ultimately able to force the Falcons to withdraw without successfully capturing and holding either of their target cities. [2] [3] [4] [5]

Despite its valiant efforts against the Clans, Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht elected to disband rather than rebuild the heavily damaged Two-Hundred and Third Division, transferring its survivors to other units.

Notes

  • Unlike many of the divisions of the Third Army, the 203rd is not mentioned by name in any source on the Battle of Tukayyid, appearing in that Army in 20-Year Update but not included in its post-Tukayyid roster in ComStar, its fate based on conjecture.
