History
With the public unveiling of the Com Guard, the regular ranked 244th Division, refered to by the nickname of Peace Through Words, was assigned to the ComGuard 7th Army, and was stationed on Gibson.[1]
As part of the 7th Army, during the Battle of Tukayyid the 244th faced Clan Nova Cat. After landing, the Nova Cats Alpha and Gamma Galaxies brushed aside the 244th to try and reach the target city of Joje. As the Com Guard units harassed the Cats in an effort to cut of their Beta Galaxy from its landing zone and supplies, Gamma Galaxy withdrew, luring the 244th and the 467th Divisions into a Beta Galaxy ambush, heavily damaging both forces and winning the Nova Cats several ComStar supply depots.[2].
Like many surviving divisions, the rebuilt 224th chose a new nickname based on their experiences, The Cloaked. Unable to return to their original posting in the Free Worlds League, with their former HQ planet even becoming the homeworld of Word of Blake, the 244th's headquarters was moved to Devil's Rock on the FedCom-League border. [3] After Devil's Rock was retaken by the Free Worlds League, the 244th transfered to Mogyorod. [4]
After the conclusion of the Civil War, the surviving members of the 244th Division were cast out of the Order and placed on permanent exclusion, with First Precentor Gavin Dow specifically blaming Victor for destorying their careers and the reputation Order. While expressly forbidden to physical enter any ComStar facility, as a sign of compassion the unit members are not under a Communications Interdict and could still use the organizations HPG network. [5]
