Clan Invasion

The 282nd was deployed with rest of the 10th Army to Tukayyid to fight Trial of Possession for Terra in May 3052 and temporary end the Clan Invasion.

Tukayyid & The Wolves

On Tukayyid, the 282nd was deployed 10th Army to safe guard the cities of Skupo and Brzo from Clan Wolf.

The veteran unit had only one notable action during Clan Wolf's push toward Skupo, when it deployed against Khan Natasha Kerensky's 13th Wolf Guards. The brutal action against elite action was brutal and ended in the devastation of the Division. However, the action bought enough time for rest of 10th Army Units to attempt to pull back to the fortification of Skupo.[3][4]
