Having faced [[Clan Wolf]] during the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] and survived, the '''366th Division''' was one of the many [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] divisions that responded negatively to the selection of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] as [[Precentor Martial of ComStar]].

==History==
===Clan Invasion and Battle of Tukayyid===
Immediately prior to the [[Clan Invasion]], the regular ranked 366th Division, then a Tau level mix referred to by the nickname of ''ComStar Lancers'', was assigned to the [[9th Army (ComStar)|Ninth Army]] and was headquartered on the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] world of [[Aristotle]].<ref name=20YU>''20 Year Update'', p. 71: "9th V-lambda"</ref>

Assigned to combat Clan Wolf during the Battle of Tukayyid along with the rest of the Ninth Army, after the Wolves defeated the bulk of the [[10th Army (ComStar)|Tenth Army]] to take their primary target city of Skupo, the 366th joined the [[379th Division (ComStar)|379th Division]] in trying to reinforce the remaining divisions of the Tenth as the Wolves began their push towards the secondary target of Brzo. Both divisions quickly found themselves under fire from the [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Wolves' Beta Galaxy]] and [[Khan]] [[Natasha Kerensky]]'s [[13th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|Thirteenth Wolf Guards]] as they attempted to prevent the Com Guard forces linking up, both taking heavy losses and requiring the addition of the [[11th Army (ComStar)|Eleventh Army]] to reinforce them.<ref name=T-90>''Tukayyid'', p. 90: "Campaign: Clan Wolf"</ref><ref name=CS-71>''ComStar'', pp. 71–72: "Battle of Tukayyid"</ref><ref name=WC-50>''Wolf Clan'', pp. 50–51: "Days of Armageddon - Wolf"</ref> One of the more notable actions involving the troop of 366th was between a heavy [[Combat Vehicle]] [[Level II]] and the [[Phelan Kell|Phelan]] led [[Nova (unit)|recon Nova]] of the Wolf Spiders in the aptly named Bloody Basin Pass.<ref name=T-93>''Tukayyid'', p. 93: "Bloody Basin Pass [25]"</ref>

===Post-Tukayyid===
Recouping its losses from Tukayyid primarily with fresh [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] graduates from the [[Sandhurst Military College]], now green rated 366th was transformed into a IV-iota formation. Many of their matériel losses were replaced with the "new" ''[[Nexus (Star Python)|Nexus]]''.<ref>''ComStar'', p. 98: "ComStar Nexus"</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 96: "NXS1-A Nexus"</ref> Like many Com Guard Divisions, the 366th chose a new nickname in response to its actions on Tukayyid, calling itself ''The Brzo Lancers'', remaining with the Ninth Army and making [[Trent (system)|Trent]] in the [[Lyran Alliance]] its headquarters.<ref name=CS-85>''ComStar'', p. 85: "9th Army V-lambda"</ref>

Responsible for a large section of worlds between [[Caledonia]] and [[Duran]], the 366th Division was one of the units responding negatively to the Precentor Martial Davion's ascension, compounded by an unexpected change in the division's leadership. Within two months of the [[Second Whitting Conference]] the 366th had lost over 15% of the combat troops to either resignation or defection to the [[Word of Blake]], the newly promoted [[Precentor]] Espartero powerless to prevent them and forced to radically alter the division's deployments to make up the shortfalls.<ref name=FMCS-37>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 37: "9th Army V-lambda: The Rag Tags"</ref>

Any ground regained after Victor resigned from the Order to fight in the [[FedCom Civil War]] was lost when he was reinstated as Precentor Martial, the defections and resignations increasing to new heights,<ref name=FMU-87>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 87: "9th Army V-Lambda (The Rag Tags)"</ref> losing a further 15% of its combat troops by [[3067]].<ref name=FMU-98>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 98: "9th Army V-Lambda (The Rag Tags)"</ref>

==Tactics==
Due to its widespread deployment, with few formations above Level II in size, the post-Tukayyid 366th Division has had little chance to practice large formation tactics, seriously hampering coordination between its elements.<ref name=FMCS-139>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 139: "Com Guards 9th Army V-lambda"</ref>
