History
Reinforcing the 31st Division in '68
First seen in February of 3068, the unit was assigned to aide 31st Division in their attempt to seize the Davion capital world. Precentor Geist dropped his division on to top of the Beta Regiment of the 12th Vegan Rangers. The Rangers manage to escape the deadly assault by the 36th with only one 'Mech Battalion surviving.[1] Precentor Geist, using the momentum of his more brutal tactics, attempted to take Avalon City. However, Davion reinforcements consisting of the Davion Heavy Guard, the Davion Assault Guard and the Third Davion Guard successfully kept the combined efforts of the 36th's and 31sts Divisions from penetrating the city's defenses, ultimately forcing them from the planet.[2]
