6th Division (Word of Blake)

Brief

The 6th Division is a elite Word of Blake unit.

History

Pre-Jihad

The True Believers were stationed in Terra's China region as its garrison post.

Jihad

The 6th was among first unit deployed after Wolf's Dragoon's failed invasion of Mars. With the 10th Division, they struck Outreach in December 3067. After the savage battle to claim the planet, the unit used the salvage from Outreach to refit itself.

One of its Level IIIs, Dawn of Truth III, was dispatched to Lyran world of Thorin. There it deployed to Thorin and secured the planet as part of Word of Blake Protectorate by non-volient means, how it accomplish this remains unclear.

In 3070, elements of the division invaded the world of Errai. The Level IIIs pushed Harlock's Warriors off the planet, garrisoning the planet in name of the Protectorate. After this time, the True Believers have become rapid-response force to come to aide of Protectorate worlds need additional defense. The 6th appeared to no longer be stationed on any one planet by 3075.

The 6th was one of fourteen seperate Militia Divisions to be destroyed on Terra in 3078.

Notes

Errant Note: In Total Chaos sourcebook, changes the lists the what Word of Blake Divisions that were deployed to Outreach as part of the Word's effort in Counter-attacking the Wolf's Dragoons. When asked if the older materials published in Dawn of the Jihad,[[[Blake Ascending]]]] and later the Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents on the offical Forums of Catalyst Game Labs Line, Battletech Developer Herb A. Beas II notes the following: You may be right that this is one case where newer doesn't trump older. That should have been the Sixth and Tenth at the Outreach counterattack.

Stating the Total Chaos information regarding deployment of the 1st Division & 4th Divisions in place of the 6th Division and the 10th were infact errant.
