History
Pre-Jihad
The 7th Division was originally established as part of the Mars garrison force. [1] This tough environment forced the unit to work together.
The Glorious engaged elements of Wolf's Dragoons and the Allied Mercenary Command that managed to land on the planet in late 3067. The unit suffered heavy damage, but succeeded with other defenders in destroying the invading mercenaries. During this fight, intelligence showed additional Level III elements that had not been seen before. This revealed the beginnings of the revelation of hidden or "phantom" military units of Word of Blake's armed forces.
