History[edit]

During the Jihad Elgin was annexed by the Word of Blake, and was in turn targeted for liberation by the allied coalition in January 3078 as a part of Operation SCOUR. Forces from the Free Worlds League Group II fought a bitter conflict with the defending First Elgin Protectorate Militia Division. The fight only ended when the Division commander was killed,[2][3] leaving the coalition forces - believed to be the Seventh Pesht Regulars,[4] Com Guard Fifth Army[5] and the Home Guard[6] - in possession of Elgin.
