History
Invasion of Wei
The unit first appeared in December of 3069 in its noted assault against the Capellan world of Wei. The Division received stiff guerrilla-style resistance from the local population. Most noted chapter of the conflict there was when a UrbStryc-A nerve agent released during one of the Division's raids. It was never made clear whom set off the device, only that millions of Weians were killed as the result.
During the invasion of Wei, elements of the unit attempted to invade Gan Singh. However, both Level IIs involved in attempt were destroyed by Warrior House Dai Da Chi's aerospace fighters.[1]
