Prior to the initial [[Clan Invasion]], the regular-rated 76th Division was known by the nickname of Rigid Compliance and assigned to the [[9th Army (ComStar)|9th Army]]. Then a IV-theta based formation, the 76th's headquarters world was [[Alarion]] in the [[Lyran]] side of the [[Federated Commonwealth]].<ref name=20YU-71>''20 Year Update'', p. 71: "9th V-lambda"</ref>

Along with the rest of the Ninth Army, the 76th faced Clan Wolf during the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]], part of the unsuccessful defense of the secondary target city of Brzo.<ref name=T-90>''Tukayyid'', p. 90: "Campaign: Clan Wolf"</ref><ref name=WC-32>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', pp. 50–51: "Days of Armageddon - Wolf"</ref> Like many [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] Divisions, the 76th chose a new nickname after their experiences in that climactic battle, calling itself The Battered Wolf Warriors, the now IV-mu formation transferred from the 9th Army to bolster the shattered [[5th Army (ComStar)|Fifth Army]], moving their headquarters to the Capellan Confederation capital of [[Sian]].<ref name=CS-85>''ComStar'', p. 85: "5th Army V-omicron"</ref>

The Confederation transferring its HPG service contract to the Word of Blake in the late [[3050]]s put the 76th in a difficult position. In the absence of orders from either the [[Primus of ComStar|Primus]] or [[Precentor Martial of ComStar|Precentor Martial]], the 76th's CO refused Capellan government requests to hand over control of the Sian HPG station to the Blakists. The situation initially simmered due to the commitment of the [[CCAF]] in the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]] and the [[Chaos March]], the 76th suffering from anti-ComStar public opinion and sabotage attempts instead,<ref name=FMC-29>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 29: "5th Army V-Omicron: The Mountaineers"</ref> but with the conclusion of the St. Ives conflict, increasing pressure from the CCAF and the [[Word of Blake Militia]] finally forced the 76th to give up their cantonments and control of the station in [[3064]].
