Along with the rest of the 10th Army, during the Battle of Tukayyid the 283rd faced the fearsome threat of Clan Wolf.  
As the Wolves advanced toward the [[166th Division (ComStar)|166th]] and [[278th Division (ComStar)|278th Divisions]] positions at outside the hamlet of Forest's End, the 283rd was the first [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] unit to engage the Wolves, preventing [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|Alpha Galaxy]]'s [[4th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|Fourth Wolf Guards]] from encircling and trapping the 166th and 278th despite their inexperience.<ref name=T-90>''Tukayyid'', p. 90: "Campaign: Clan Wolf"</ref><ref name=CS-71>''ComStar'', pp. 71–72: "Battle of Tukayyid"</ref><ref name=WC-50>''Wolf Clan'', pp. 50–51: "Days of Armageddon - Wolf"</ref>

===After ComStar Schism and Operation BULLDOG===
Like many Com Guard Divisions, the now regular rated 283rd Division chose a new nickname after their efforts against Wolves on Tukayyid, calling itself ''The Wolf Lords''. Rebuilt as a IV-pi based formation, the 283rd became the command division of the 10th Army and transferred its headquarters to the theater capital of [[Rigil Kent]].<ref name=CS-85>''ComStar'', p. 85: "10th Army V-nu (The Red Legion)"</ref>

As a result of Rigil Kent's proximity to [[Terra]], after [[Operation ODYSSEUS]] the 283rd was the primary supply conduit to support the survivors of the [[201st Division (ComStar)|201st Division]] in their guerrilla war against the [[Word of Blake]] occupation. This came to an end after the retirement of [[Anastasius Focht]] in [[3061]] with the 283rd CO's [[Precentor]] Reardon bitterly opposed to the selection of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] as [[Precentor Martial of ComStar]]. While still loyal to ComStar if not its newest Precentor Martial, a fact supported by [[ROM]] and Reardon's court martial of several Blakist agents discovered in the 283rd, many critics still question Reardon's true motives.<ref name=FMCS-39>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 39: "10th Army V-nu: The Red Legion"</ref><ref name=FMU-87>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 87: "10th Army V-Nu (The Red Legion)"</ref>
