==Unit Description==
 
The '''Fifty-first Shadow Division''' was an elite [[Word of Blake]] military formation that didn't appear until after the [[Jihad]] broke out. The unit was staffed by a mysterious group of cybernetically augmented warriors known as the [[Manei Domini]], who were solely answerable to [[Precentor]] [[Apollyon]]. The unit was one of the first Shadow Divisions to see combat.
 
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
===Case White===
 
The unit was among the last of the Shadow Divisions to have been formed for the Manei Domini; it first saw combat in March [[3068]] on [[Terra]]. The [[Division]] was rushed into action ahead of schedule to deal with the coming [[Case White (event)|Case White]] invasion. They ravaged the few [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] units that survived their landings in Northern Europe. In particular, they faced the [[166th Division (ComStar)|166th Division]].<ref name=BTS>''By the Sword''</ref> These conflicts required the support of [[TerraSec]] to slow down the invading Com Guard forces while the Fifty-first moved into position.<ref name=Omega>''Omega (Short Story)''</ref>
 
  
Since the [[ComStar]] landings, the unit had remained garrisoned on Terra. It dispatched [[Level II]] formations to local inhabited settlements of the Terran star system. These included Titan, Io, Mars, Luna and Venus. <ref name=JSBDp107>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 107 - "The 51st Shadow Division's unit brief".</ref>
 
  
The Fifty-first was destroyed in [[3078]] on Terra.<ref name=JFRp125>''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 125, "Shadow Divisions Status"</ref>

The unit possesses the common [[Manei_Domini#Shadow_Division_Force_Specific_Abilities|Shadow Divisions Force Specific abilities]] when using advanced rules in a scenario.  When unit is being used on a planet or base within Terran star system, it presence negates all of the opposing special abilities.  It also can use [[Force_Specific_Rules#Forcing_the_Initiative|Forcing the Initiative]] and [[Force_Specific_Rules#Overrun_Combat|Overrun Combat]] abilities in a scenario. If the unit is deployed in combat scenario outside of the Terran solar system, it loses its ability to negate an opposing force's special abilities. <ref name=JSBDp143>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 143 "Rules" Annex - Special Rules for the 51st Shadow Division.</ref>
