==History==
 
==History==
In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[XXX Corps (Star League)|XXX Corps Army]], [[Twelfth Army (Star League)|Twelfth]], to District 2 of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Military Region]], but was moved to an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]] to take part in the [[Periphery Uprising]]  by [[2765]].<ref name=SL144>''The Star League'', p. 144: "Twelfth"</ref> The 123rd survived the war and the [[Hegemony Campaign]] and did not take part in [[Operation EXODUS]]. However, during [[ComStar]]'s [[Operation SILVER SHIELD|takeover of Terra]] in [[2788]], the 123rd and the [[79th Mechanized Infantry Division]] refused to surrender to the ComStar commander, former SLDF [[Major General]] [[Lauren Hayes]]. The 79th and 123rd fought a series of running battles throughout the Amazon rainforests they now called home. While Hayes' ad hoc forces boasted superior numbers, the terrain of the Amazon basin served as a formidable defense and the two rebel divisions inflicted heavy losses before they finally fell in the face of a combined attack from the [[13th Royal Infantry Division]] supported by the [[3rd Striker Regiment]] of the former [[251st BattleMech Division]] that surrounded and shattered their stronghold in the city of Manaus.<ref>''First Succession War'', p. 36</ref><ref>''ComStar'', p. 13: "Operation SILVER SHIELD"</ref><ref>''First Succession War'', p. 52: "Operation SILVER SHIELD"</ref>
