==History==
Immediately prior to the [[Clan Invasion]] the green ranked 116th Division, then a [[Level IV|IV]]-omicron based formation referred to by the nickname of the ''Aggressive Actions'', was assigned to the [[12th Army (ComStar)|Twelfth Army]] and was based on the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Buckminster]].<ref name=20YU-71>''20 Year Update'', p. 71: "ComStar - Com Guards (Deployment as of 3050) - 12th V-nu"</ref>
 
  
As part of the Twelfth Army, the aggressive 116th Division would see combat against [[Clan Nova Cat]] during the Battle of Tukayyid in the Losiije Lake District. Racing into the fray with near sucidal abandon, the 116th helped to retake the Com Guards' captured supply depots and end that campaign with a [[ComStar]] victory while suffering almost 50% casualties, including the loss of its commander. Like many Com Guard Divisions, the 116th Division chose a new nickname in response to their efforts on Tukayyid, calling itself ''The Aggressors'', as it rebuilt as a IV-lambda formation. As of [[3055]], the 116th was posted to [[Karbala]] in the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]], where it amicably served with the [[2nd Kavalleri (Free Rasalhague Republic)|2nd Kavalleri]] in garrison duty. Even as relations cooled between ComStar and the Republic in the 3060s, both units continued to run exercises with each other.<ref name=T-NC>''Tukayyid'', pp. 40, 43, 45: "Campaign: Clan Nova Cat"</ref><ref name=IC-NC>''Invading Clans'', p. 117: "Battle of Tukayyid"</ref><ref name="CSp85">''ComStar'', p. 85: "Twelfth Army V-beta"</ref><ref name=FMCS-43>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 43: "12th Army V-Beta: The Broadsword and Shield"</ref><ref name=FMU>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 88: "12th Army V-beta (The Broadsword and Shield)"</ref>

==Notes==
During the [[Jihad]] the 116th Division was involved in the February [[3072]] liberation of [[Word of Blake|Blakist]]-occupied [[Donegal]].<ref>''[[Jihad Hot Spots: 3072]]'', p. 86: "Chaos Rampant: Corporate Ties"</ref> Whether the 116th was destroyed later in the conflict or survived to be disbanded along with the rest of the post-Jihad Com Guards is unknown.
