	Returning to station on Great X, the 198th Division established an increasingly good rapport with Grand Duke [[Morgan Kell]] and the other forces within the Arc Royal Defense Cordon. This has soured relations between the division and the [[LAAF]] High Command, forcing the 198th to rely increasingly on the ARDC for supplies as Alliance bureaucracy delays ComStar shipments.<ref name=FMCS-39/>		Returning to station on Great X, the 198th Division established an increasingly good rapport with Grand Duke [[Morgan Kell]] and the other forces within the Arc Royal Defense Cordon.

−	Another example of the good relations between the 198th and the ARDC were the exercises several [[Level III]] staged with ARDC troops, most notably units from [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]]. While the 198th's CO [[Precentor]] Quillar feared his troops would resent working with the foe they faced on Tukayyid, both units quickly bonded based on respect for the other's martial prowess. The respect was such that the Wolves-in-Exile troops preferred to work with the 198th compared to other [[mercenary]] elements of the ARDC.<ref name=FMCS-39/>	+	Another example of the good relations between the 198th and the ARDC were the exercises several [[Level III]] staged with ARDC troops, most notably units from the [[Clan Wolf (in Exile)]].
