History
3071
The 50th conducted lightning raids against the worlds of Son Hoa and Khon Kaen, focusing on capturing equipment and causing chaos in their strikes. The unit mysteriously avoided damaging the local factories.[1]
3072
Donegal
The division was sent to reinforce the captured Lyran world of Donegal, taking over for the 2nd Division when information leaked that Allied forces would attempt to retake it.[2] The Hell Knights focused their attacks against both Precentor Martial Victor Steiner-Davion's ComStar and the Clan forces (consisting of ComStar's 116th Division and 1st Wolf Legion)[3], inflicting heavy damage. However, after the 18th Division suffered increasing losses from Lyran units, the Fiftieth were forced onto the defensive and pushed back, eventually withdrawing from the world.
Raiding to Resupply
Two weeks after losing control of Donegal, the Fiftieth arrived on the semi-secured world of Coventry. From here, the unit conducted further raids to resupply their material needs. The units raided Lyran worlds of Guatavita and Krievci.
3073
The Division conducted a series of raids against a number of Lyran worlds, inflicting heavy losses on the Lyran forces on Atocongo and staging a devastating assault against the 1st Kell Hounds Regiment on New Exford. After first smashing through the Hound's ad-hoc aerospace defenses, the Fiftieth completely destroyed the Hound's 2nd Battalion as it attempted to out flank the Blakist unit. The Fiftieth sent its "head hunter" units behind the Hound's lines and killed the regiment's acting commanding officer, Christian Kell, with the demoralized mercenaries suffering 70% causalities after the loss of their commander. [4]
In December, the division took heavy damage on Bountiful Harvest while fighting Clan Wolf-in-Exile forces.
