One of the so-called Shadow Divisions of the Word of Blake Militia, the 40th Shadow Division was partially comprised of the Blakist's hyper-elite Manei Domini.
History
The Fortieth captured Hesperus II after other Blakist forces slowly weakened the planet's defenses after months of lightning raids. Due to the importance of the Defiance Industries facilities, the Fortieth remained stationed on the planet, becoming a conduit for replacement machines and weaponry to the rest of Blakist militia.
In May 3073, a large portion of the Fortieth traveled off-world to spearhead a raid against Arcturus, backed up by the Burr's Black Cobras mercenary unit and elements of the 2nd Division, inflicting significant damage but not before suffering heavy losses of their own. The Fortieth disappeared after suddenly withdrawing from Arcturus, before finally returning to Hesperus three months later. [1]
