==History==
During its time in [[XXIII Corps (Star League)|XXIII Corps]], the 132nd suffered somewhat from feeling diminished by one of its counterpart [[division]]s within the Corps, the [[82nd Royal Jump Infantry Division|Eighty-second Royal Jump Infantry]], due to the long and distinguished pedigree the Eighty-second possessed. Despite this, assignment to the 132nd remained a highly-coveted position due to its statys as a Royal division, and constituted a highlight on the military service records of many who served within the division. After coming under the command of [[Major General]] [[Guillermo Ruiz]], the soldiers of the 132nd were worked hard as he pushed them to generate a good reputation for the division. This had paid off by [[2764]], when the 132nd was assessed by the SLDF as being a veteran combat unit with a high level of proficiency.<ref name="FM:SLDFp183">''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 183, "132nd Royal Mechanized Infantry Division"</ref>
