Immediately prior to the [[Clan Invasion]], the veteran ranked Ninety-first Division, then a omicron-based formation referred to by the nickname of ''Visions of Words'', was assigned to the [[1st Army (ComStar)|First Army]], and was head-quartered on the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Pesht]].<ref name=20Y>''20 Year Update'', p. 70</ref>

During the Battle of Tukayyid, the First Army was tasked with defeating [[Clan Ghost Bear]]. Along with the [[12th Division (ComStar)|Twelfth Division]], the Ninety-first trapped [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Delta Galaxy]]'s [[20th Polar Bear Attack (Clan Ghost Bear)|20th Polar Bear Attack Cluster]] in the outskirts of the Holth forest, inflicting heavy losses and turning the tide in Bears' push for Luk.<ref name=CS1>''ComStar'', pp. 70-71</ref><ref name=IC>''Invading Clans'', p. 29</ref><ref name=T1>''Tukayyid'', p. 48, 49-50</ref><ref name=ER3062-39>''Era Report: 3062'', pp. 39-40 "Ninety-First Division (The Luk-y 91st IV-eta)"</ref>

Unfortunately as the Ninety-first fell back to assist the [[103rd Division (ComStar)|103rd Division]] in the defense of Spanac, they arrived on the city outskirts barely ahead of  the [[OmniMech]]s of the Ghost Bears' [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Alpha Galaxy]]. Unable to establish a proper defense, the arrival of [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta]] and [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Delta]] [[Galaxy|Galaxies]] allowed the Clan forces to overrun the Ninety-First and capture most of its supply caches intact, forcing [[Precentor Martial of ComStar|Precentor Martial]] [[Anastasius Focht]] to order the Hundred and Third to withdraw, ceding the target city to the Ghost Bears.

Stationed on [[Wolcott]] at the start of Operation Bulldog in [[3059]], the Ninety-first formed part of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s "Dream Team" to capture the important target of [[Schuyler]]<ref name=TDR1>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 11, 50</ref>. Suffering only light losses, elements of the unit traveled to [[Huntress]] as part of the relief force to save [[Task Force Serpent]], with two warriors from the Ninety-first selected to fight as part of ComStar's contribution in the [[Great Refusal]].

Rebuilding from the losses it suffered on Schuyler with mainly Combine manufactured equipment, post-BULLDOG the Ninety-first Division boasted a larger than normal percentage of [[BattleMech]]s, most notably posted in the ''Defenders of Olasin'' [[Level III]]. Fully recovered from losses of Bulldog by [[3067]], the Ninety-first returned to staging exercises, primarily against the [[SLDF]]'s [[Eridani Light Horse]], but has requested being posted away from the heavily defended [[Dieron Military District]] capital. <ref name=FMU>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 84</ref><ref name=ER3062-39/>
