The 7th Division or 7th Zanarkian Division is a division of the Zanarkian Army that served during the Second Europan War. It was the third division raised for the Fifth Zanarkian Imperial Force (5th ZIF). It was formed in Zanarkand on the onset of the war and was the last Zanarkian division, along with the 8th Division to be formed in Zanarkand before the war. The 10th up to the 12th Zanarkian Division were formed in Zanarkand. It was sometimes known as The Silent 7th because its achievements were sometimes unrecognised. Despite it, the 7th, along with the 9th were considered to be Zanarkand's main force throughout the 20th Century. It was embroidered in the fiercest fighting in Europa, East Africanna, and Joyonghea.
It was reactivated during the War of Lorican Aggression, but was disbanded after the campaign. In 1996, it was again reactivated after the growing tensions between New Akiba and Ingelmia were slowly escalating and that more Zanarkian divisions were needed to support New Akibander Forces.
During the Imperial Crisis, the 7th and 9th Zanarkian Divisions were the only two Zanarkian force that gained fame and recognition for its actions throughout the war.
