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.[3] The Hell Knights focused their attacks against both Precentor Martial Victor Steiner-Davion's ComStar and the Clan forces, ComStar's 116th Division and the 1st Wolf Legion,[4] inflicting heavy damage. However, after the 18th Division suffered increasing losses from Lyran units, and because the Fiftieth division fixated solely on Com Guard and Clan targets first, the Fiftieth were forced onto the defensive and pushed back, eventually withdrawing from the world.[5]

The Fiftieth sent its "head hunter" units behind the Hounds' lines and killed the regiment's acting commanding officer, Christian Kell, with the demoralized mercenaries suffering 70% casualties after the loss of their commander.[6]
In December, the division took heavy damage on Bountiful Harvest while fighting Clan Wolf-in-Exile forces.[7][8]
