History[edit]

Invasion of Wei[edit]

The unit first appeared in December of 3069 in its noted assault against the Capellan world of Wei. The Division received stiff guerrilla-style resistance from the local population. The most noted chapter of the conflict there was when an UrbStryc-A nerve agent was released during one of the Division's raids. It was never made clear who set off the device, only that millions of Weians were killed as the result.

During the invasion of Wei, elements of the unit attempted to invade Gan Singh. However, both Level IIs involved in the attempt were destroyed by Warrior House Dai Da Chi's aerospace fighters.[1]
