Overview

The Thirty-fifth Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.

History

In 2764 the Thirty-fifth was assigned to LVI Corps, a part of the Nineteenth Army, and was stationed in the Periphery Military Region. In fact it was stationed on Laconis, which at the time was undergoing a massive influx of immigrants. Unlike most SLDF units in the Taurian Concordat, the Thirty-fifth had a positive reputation after its commanding officer assigned her engineering, combat, and support units to help the planetary government rebuild the capital city after a hurricane destroyed it in 2759.

Later the Thirty-fifth was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery in response to the Periphery Uprising in 2765.. The Thirty-fifth survived both the Periphery Uprising and the Hegemony Campaign and followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.

Officers

In 2764 the Division was commanded by Major General Mila Vandroogenbroeck.

The last commanding officer of the Thirty-fifth Infantry Division was Lieutenant General John Fletcher who was in command of the Thirty-fifth from at least 2765 until the end of the Amaris Civil War. Fletcher would later become the first Khan of Clan Hell's Horses.

Composition History

As an SLDF Infantry division the Thirty-fifth would have been formed from two brigades of grunt infantry and a brigade of light BattleMech regiments.

Notes

The Alpha Keshik of Clan Hell's Horses shares the same nickname as that of the 35th.
