==History==
===Jihad===
The unit first appeared in combat in 3068, while assaulting the world of [[Yorii]].  The unit masqueraded under Lyran and FedSun colors during the attack. The unit introduced bioagents into planetary water reserves, causing problems for the population for several years. The population shift loyalties to Word of Blake Protectorate forces which came to their "aid" to save them from supposed renegade House units.

The ''Glorious Repentance'' proceeded further into the [[Draconis Combine]] space, attacking the world of [[Pesht]] in February [[3069]]. The unit separated in two group 2 - 3 [[Level III]] units conducting a series of assaults into the Combine that went on for years.  Starting against [[Jeanette]], [[Matamoras]], and [[McAlister]] in [[3070]].  Other Elements of the Division struck at [[Echo|Echo V]] and [[Qandahar]] in [[3071]], [[Espakeh]], [[Loysville]] and [[Ningxia]] in [[3072]].

By [[3073]], the Division vanished from intelligence reports, only to resurface again a year later. This time striking simultaneously against two worlds; [[Midway]] and [[Isesaki]].  The strike against Isesaki was notable due strike against the corporate headquarters of [[Isesaki Shipping]] in the city of Ukonsoi.

In [[3074]] the 14th Division reappeared on [[Dieron]]. They arrived with several DropShips full of construction matériel, and the 14th used this to improve the on-world defenses, including an additional wall outside Fortress Dieron.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Dieron'', p. 6, 14th Division</ref> These extensive defenses were a huge obstacle for [[Clan Ghost Bear]] forces that attacked the world. The 14th Division fought the Bears to the bitter end. The 14th Division was utterly destroyed on Dieron.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Dieron'', p. 6, 14th Division</ref><ref name="J:FRp126">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 126, "Word Of Blake Militia"</ref>
