=== Sacking of Muphrid ===
The unit first appeared in its surprise assault of [[Muphrid]] in [[3068]]. The deadly attack was spearheaded by nuclear armed Aerospace fighters shattering Muphrid's planetary command networks and wrecking its infrastructure to the point where it would be years before it recovered. However, the quick victory by the Eleventh Division created years of guerrilla warfare on Muphrid.<ref name="JS:TBDp91">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 91, "Eleventh Division"</ref>

=== Assaulting of Galatea ===
From Muphrid, elements of the Division struck Galatea in [[3072]]. The Eleventh's forces were augmented by the [[Forty-seventh Shadow Division]], and three supporting mercenary units, the [[Martian Cuirassiers]], the [[Gray's Ghosts]] and [[Bullard's Armored Cavalry]]. The Eleventh Division and its other forces masked their units in the paint schemes of the [[Northwind Highlanders]] in their assault on the planet. The Eleventh formed the spearhead striking the mercenary world, disrupting the planet's security forces while rest of the Blake forces made their landings.<ref name="JS:TBDp91"/><ref name="TCp113">''Total Chaos'', p. 113-114, "GALATEA"</ref>

Elements of the Eleventh remained on planet for a few years, headhunting mercenary forces that have formed a resistance to Blake's occupation of the planet. The Eleventh numbers were bolstered through salvage from fighting on the planet. This allowed them to hold the major cities on the planet against raids from mercenaries and local resistance groups.<ref name="JS:TBDp91"/>

In November [[3075]], Devlin Stone's Coalition forces had landed and began fighting to retake the planet. Elements of the Eleventh Division bogged down the invaders in house to house fighting in Galatean City.  This bought enough time for the rest of the Eleventh Division to maneuver itself fight them. The Eleventh managed bring itself to face ComStar's [[Seventy-ninth Division (ComStar)|Seventy-ninth Division]] in the fighting. However, Coalition forces, namely the [[First Skye Jaegers]] attempted to flank them during their attack against the Seventy-ninth. Stealthy new assets, namely the newly deployed [[Bolla|Bolla Stealth Tanks]] emerged from hiding and surprised the Jaegers.

In December, the Eleventh Division's headhunter units scored a victory, with the death of the 103rd Division's commander, Precentor Styven Kimmelry. Both [[ComStar|ComStar's]] [[First Army (ComStar)|First Army]] units and the 1st Skye Jaegers command fell to the Seventy-ninth Division's Precentor, Louisa Draga. The death of Kimmelry gave her pause and caused her to pull her forces from city of Paphos, leaving 11th Division's two Level IIIs to face the Lyran's Jaegers. The Eleventh attempted to press them, but were rebuffed by the Jaegers.

ComStar's 103rd Division found a breach in the units defenses and caused the Eleventh Division in the city to break into a rout, trying to reach their comrades in Paphos. However, they were destroyed.
