Unit Description
The 43rd Shadow Division was an Word of Blake military formation staffed with elite cybernetically enhanced troops named Manei Domini. The 43rd Division was known for its attacks in Lyran and Clan Ghost Bear space during early parts of the war.
History
The 43rd Division first appeared in 3072, when it was part of attempted assault of Arc-Royal. It lead the assault with assistance of the 2nd & 37th Divisions. However, despite WarShip support its task force provided, the assault was disrupted. Only few Level II formations managed to land on the planet. It was later reasoned that assault was part of special operation provide cover land ROM agents on the planet.[1] The Division and its task force mates withdrew from Lyran space suspected of taking major damage in exchange.
The unit was seen in action in 3074 on Radstadt, where it was using the planet to prepare for major assault against Ghost Bears with a unnamed mercenary force. However, Ghost Bear forces attack 43rd Division and its allies before it could undertake the sortie. During the fight, the 43rd launched several attacks with biological weapons & neutron bombs against the planet's capital. This sacrificed the Division's mercenary support and caused deaths of millions of native and Clanners year later. The Ghost Bear attack reportedly reduced the division to only a Level III formation prior them escaping the planet. Its suspected, the actions on the planet triggered Ghost Bears entry into the Jihad against the Blakist.[2]
The 43rd was stationed on New Home when the Coalition attacked. In April 3078[3] the 45th and 47th Shadow Division arrived at New Home to reinforce the 43rd and counter the Coalition assault. The two units came close to reinforcing the 43rd Shadow Division and capturing Devlin Stone, but a last minute bombardment from the Coalition ship Promise destroyed the 47th Shadow Division. Stone's Lament, Ryuken-roku, 2nd Federated Suns Armored Cavalry, Battle Corps Legion, and Clan Nova Cat's Sigma Galaxy proceeded to hunt down the surviving Blakists and destroyed them.[4] The Blakists didn't go quietly, destroying Ryuken-roku and the Second FedSuns AC, and destroying nearly three-quarters of Sigma Galaxy and the Battle Corps Legion.[5]
