After the pacification of Atreus, the 15th used in "peacekeeping" force as well raiders to support the Marik Commonwealth and [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Corinne Marik]]. Two of the Division's level III units are deployed as part of Atreus's garrison force. The unit's presence on Atreus made them symbol of the Word of Blake's power in the Marik Commonwealth.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 140: "Rule Annex for 15th Division" - Unit became symbol of Blakist power while stationed on Marik Commonwealth's capital world</ref>

In [[3077]] however, the [[30th Division (Word of Blake)|30th Division]] was reassigned to Atreus. Once on the ground, the 30th and 15th were both targeted by the [[2nd Free Worlds Legionnaires]] and the [[8th Free Worlds Legionnaires]]. The 30th was destroyed completely, and even the extensive use of tactical nuclear weapons couldn't save the 15th from destruction. Only a handful of Blakists managed to withdraw offworld,<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus'', p. 14</ref> although history records the 15th as having been destroyed here.<ref name="J:FRp126">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 126: "Word of Blake Militia"</ref> The Free Worlds Legionnaires were so angry with the 15th in particular, and the Blakists in general, because they had been doing most of the fighting against the [[Knights of the Inner Sphere]]. The chemical attacks the Blakists unleashed on unsuspecting civilians and Parliament only exacerbated the situation.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus'', p. 8</ref>
