Then a IV-xi based formation, the 34th's headquarters world was [[Florida]] in the [[Lyran]] side of the [[Federated Commonwealth]].<ref name=20YU-71>''20 Year Update'', p. 71: "9th V-lambda"</ref> − − Along with the rest of the Ninth Army, the 34th faced [[Clan Wolf]] during the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]], part of the unsuccessful defense of the secondary target city of Brzo.<ref name=T-90>''Tukayyid'', p. 90: "Campaign: Clan Wolf"</ref><ref name=WC-32>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', pp. 50–51: "Days of Armageddon - Wolf"</ref> − − Like many Com Guard Divisions, the 34th chose a new nickname after that climactic battle, calling itself the ''Black Glove Division'', remaining with the Ninth Army and making [[New Earth]] in the [[Lyran Alliance]] its headquarters.<ref name=CS-85>''ComStar'', p. 85: "9th Army V-lambda"</ref> Recouping its losses from [[Tukayyid]], the now elite rated 34th was transformed into a IV-upsilon formation, Unlike the other divisions within the Ninth Army, the 34th concentrated its forces and posted two [[Level II]]s on New Earth, [[Thorin]] and [[Chara]] rather than the usual deployment for [[HPG]] defense purposes. While officially claimed to be due to risk of attack from either the [[Free Worlds League]] or [[Draconis Combine]], the strategic importance of these worlds for an assault on [[Terra]] and the vital nature of [[BattleMech]]s, [[Combat Vehicle]]s and supplies manufactured by the New Earth based [[Yankee Weapons Systems]] and the [[New Earth Trading Company]] to the Com Guards made protecting them a high priority.<ref name=FMC-37>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 37: "9th Army V-lambda: The Rag Tags"</ref> − − The 34th's elite standing earned them a position among the Com Guard divisions assigned to [[Operation Bulldog]]. Launching from the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Brocchi's Cluster]] on May 13th [[3059]], the 34th Division joined the Wave 3 assault on the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]–held world of [[Coudoux]] alongside the [[2nd Sword of Light]], [[1st Amphigean Light Assault Group]], and the [[1st Aragon Borderers]]. The [[8th Garrison (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|8th Garrison Cluster]] of the [[Psi Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Jaguar's Psi Galaxy]] offered only token resistance before its troops made a hasty withdrawal to flee to the [[Clan Homeworlds]].<ref name=TDR-44>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 11–13, 44</ref> − − During the fourth wave the 34th joined the [[22nd Dieron Regulars]] and the [[Nova Cat Lancers (Clan Nova Cat)|SLDF Nova Cat Lancers]] in the assault on [[Kabah]], defended by the Psi Galaxy's [[7th Garrison (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|7th Garrison Cluster]]. With the 7th Garrison hoping in vain that ships from [[Matamoras]] would come to pull them off-world, the 34th and the rest of the SLDF taskforce inflicted heavy losses as the Jaguar [[Cluster]] staged a number of delaying actions to try and buy time for rescue. Finally convinced by the 22nd Dieron that no rescue would be forthcoming, the survivors of the 7th Garrison negotiated face-saving [[Trial of Possession|Trials of Possession]] between the Dieron Regulars and Nova Cat Lancers.<ref name=TDR-52>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 11–13, 15</ref> − − After Bulldog when questions to the loyalty of [[283rd Division (ComStar)|283rd Division]] were raised, the 34th's location on New Earth and its proximity to [[Terra]] made it the natural choice to supply the remains of the [[201st Division (ComStar)|201st Division]] in its guerrilla campaign against the [[Word of Blake]] on Terra.<ref name=FMC-39>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 39: "10th Army V-nu The Red Legion"</ref> Unfortunately the division's exposure to the Blakists and the possibility of Blakist [[ROM]] subversion within the unit also earned it a similar questionable loyalty rating as the 283rd.<ref name=FMC-37/> − − Along with the rest of the Ninth Army, the 34th avoided all but most cursory involvement in the [[FedCom Civil War]], saving most of its attention for safeguarding the holdings of the New Earth Trading Company, which continued to sell primarily to the secular [[ComStar]].<ref name=FMU-87>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 87: "9th Army V-Lambda (The Rag Tags)"</ref> ==Officers== ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable"+ The CO was in 3062 Precentor VIII Patrice King. − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 34th Division (ComStar)''' − |- − | [[Precentor]]||[[Paul Gruvner]]||[[3049]]<ref name=20YU-71/> − |- − | Precentor||[[Patrice King]]||[[3054]] - [[3067]]<ref name=CS-85/><ref name=FMC-37/><ref name=FMU-87/> − |- − |} − ==Tactics== ==Tactics== − Unknown. ==Composition History== ==Composition History== − ===3050=== + ===3062=== − '''34th Division''' (Division/Green)<ref name=20yup71>''20 Year Update'', p. 71</ref>+ :Open Eyes Ill-kappa: Demi-Precentor X Florence Jozefiak − : Note: At this point in time the 34th Division was stationed on Florida.<ref name=20yup71/> + :In the Shadows lll-mu: Demi-Precentor II Gerhard Feldmann + :Strength of Spirit Ill-lambda: Demi-Precentor VII Paul Rapach + :The Boxers Ill-iota: Demi-Precentor IV Raymond Thiem + :Gleam of Hope Ill-lambda: Demi-Precentor V Brian Conklin + :Fighting Pioneers lll-nu: Demi-Precentor IV Peter Walthers − ===3055=== − '''34th Division''' (Division/Elite)<ref name=CSSp85">''ComStar'', p. 85</ref> − : Note: At this point in time the 34th Division was stationed on New Earth.<ref name=CSSp85"/> − ===3062 to 3067=== + ==Notes== − * Open Eyes III-kappa: [[Demi-Precentor]] X [[Florence Jozefiak]] − * In the Shadows III-mu: Demi-Precentor II [[Gerhard Feldmann]] − * Strength of Spirit III-lambda: Demi-Precentor VII [[Paul Rapach]] − * The Boxers III-iota: Demi-Precentor IV [[Raymond Thiem]] − * Gleam of Hope III-lambda: Demi-Precentor V [[Brian Conklin]] − * Fighting Pioneers III-nu: Demi-Precentor IV [[Peter Walthers]] − <ref name=FMC-37/><ref name=FMU-87/> − ==Notes== + − * The post-Tukayyid insignia of the 34th Division was a black gauntlet clenched in a fist in the manner of the insignia of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]/[[Federated Commonwealth]]/Lyran Alliance.<ref name=FMC-37/>+ ===Game Notes=== ==References== ==References== <references /> <references /> + ==Bibliography== ==Bibliography== − * ''[[20 Year Update]]'' + *''[[20-Year Update]]'' − * ''[[ComStar (sourcebook)|ComStar]]'' + *''[[ComStar (sourcebook)]]'' − * ''[[The Dragon Roars]]''+ *''[[Field Manual: ComStar]]'' − * ''[[Field Manual: ComStar]]'' + *''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' − * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' + *''[[Tukayyid (scenario pack)]]'' − * ''[[Tukayyid (scenario pack)|Tukayyid]]'' − * ''[[Wolf Clan Sourcebook]]'' − [[Category:ComStar Division Commands|Division, 034th]] + [[Category:ComStar Division Commands|Division, 34th]]
