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.

Jihad

After the battle, the unit used the salvage from the Dragoons and AMC forces to rebuild. Bells of Faith III-Lambda commander Seth Smith-Solomon was promoted to command entire 7th Division. The unit had been dispatched outer rim of the Blake Protectorate on unspecified tour of worlds there. [2]

The Seventh Division returned to Terra in advance of the Coalition's invasion. Based in Sydney, Australia they destroyed the 8th Dieron Regulars as soon as the Regulars landed, then withdrew to fortified positions in the Wild Dog Mountains.[3] The Seventh and 26th Division held the Wild Dog Mountain Castle Brian for a month, but eventually the Coalition was able to breach the fortress.[4] Survivors of the Seventh may have relocated to the Sydney Australia Castle Brian only to surrender two months later.[5]
