The ''Glorious Repentance'' proceeded further into the [[Draconis Combine]] space, attacking the world of [[Pesht]] in February [[3069]]. The unit separated in two group 2 - 3 [[Level III]] units conducting a series of assaults into the Combine that went on for years.  Starting against [[Jeanette]], [[Matamoras]], and [[McAlister]] in [[3070]].  Other Elements of the Division struck at [[Echo|Echo V]] and [[Qandahar]] in [[3071]], [[Espakeh]], [[Loysville]] and [[Ningxia]] in [[3072]].

By [[3073]], the Division vanished from intelligence reports, only to resurface again a year later. This time striking simultaneously against two worlds; [[Midway]] and [[Isesaki]].  The strike against Isesaki was notable due strike against the corporate headquarters of [[Isesaki Shipping]] in the city of Ukonsoi.

In [[3074]] the 14th Division reappeared on [[Dieron]]. They arrived with several DropShips full of construction matériel, and the 14th used this to improve the on-world defenses, including an additional wall outside Fortress Dieron.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Dieron'', p. 6, 14th Division</ref> These extensive defenses were a huge obstacle for [[Clan Ghost Bear]] forces that attacked the world.
