History[edit]
Prior to the initial Clan Invasion the green-rated 223rd Division was known by the nickname of The Sun of Communication and assigned to the 11th Army. Then a IV-iota based formation, the 223rd's headquarters world was Tamar in the Lyran side of the Federated Commonwealth.[1]
Along with the rest of the relatively green Eleventh Army, the 223rd Division was initially assigned to defeat Clan Jade Falcon during the Battle of Tukayyid, the divisions of the Eleventh taking heavy losses but ultimately able to force the Falcons to withdraw without successfully capturing and holding either of their targets. [2] [3] [4] [5] Once the Falcons has retreated the Eleventh Army was sent to reinforce the 9th and 10th Armies faltering defense against Clan Wolf's advance to their secondary target of Brzo. [6] [7] [8]
While the Wolves initially pulled back to secure their supply lines in the face of these fresh troops, the Eleventh Army chose to take the initiative and launched an all-out attack against the Wolves Beta Galaxy in the Pozoristu Mountains, succeeding in killing the Wolves senior Khan Garth Radick. Unfortunately though the Wolves advance did briefly falter with Radick's death, saKhan Natasha Kerensky 13th Wolf Guards kept going, forcing their way past nine Com Guard divisions to take Brzo.[6][7][8]
Despite its valiant efforts against the Clans, Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht elected to disband rather than rebuild the heavily damaged 223rd Division, transferring its survivors to other units.
