==History==
The 46th Shadow Division was a mysterious unit, due to intelligence reports of vague sightings of it but nothing confirmed.  This changed in [[3072]] when a [[Level III]] size force with markings of the Division conducted a raid against the world of [[Firgrove]]. The unit was noted for its single-minded focus on its objective in crippling an [[AFFS]] Repair Depot.  After doing so, the unit turned on the planet's defenders and ravaged them.  Once done with the Davion forces they swiftly left the scene.

Since then, the unit had not been seen. However, intelligence reports suggest the unit was operating under false colors.  It is suspected that the unit may have operated under colors of Taurian units and conducted raids along border with the [[Taurian Concordat]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 105, "46th Shadow Division profile".</ref>
