In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[VIII Corps (Star League)|VIII Corps]], [[Fourteenth Army (Star League)|Fourteenth Army]], to District 1 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]] and then transferred to District 3 by [[2765]], to take part in the [[Reunification War]].<ref name=SL147>''The Star League'', p. 147, "Fourteenth"</ref>The 160th was destroyed during the [[Hegemony Campaign]].<ref name=SL147/>
The [[Second Hidden War]], also known as the [[War of Davion Succession]], was a conflict fought between the [[Draconis Combine]] and the [[Federated Suns]] during the latter half of the 2720s. The War began with a Combine offensive against [[Marduk]], followed by an ad hoc [[AFFS]] counteroffensive which rapidly stalled, and then a steady push into the Federated Suns by [[DCMS]] forces. After the death of [[First Prince]] [[Joseph Davion (27th c.)|Joseph Davion]] of the Federated Suns on [[Royal]] the [[Star League]] was nearly wracked by an internal coup, an internal coup which led in turn to a new Commanding General of the SLDF, a General who wasn't prepared to sit idly by while Star League member states battled each other openly. General [[Rebecca Fetladral]] launched [[Operation SMOTHER]], a five [[Division]] strong SLDF deployment into the disputed region, with orders to separate the combatants and restore order.<ref name="H:LoTV1p18">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 18: "A Plague On Both Your Houses: The War of Davion Succession (Second Hidden War)"</ref>
 
  
As a part of Operation SMOTHER the 160th was deployed to the world of [[Royal]], the world on which Joseph Davion had been executed by Combine forces; the DCMS troops on Royal attempted to overrun the beachhead established by the 160th, but were instead driven back and then pushed offworld. Among those from the 160th who received awards for gallantry during the battle of the beachhead was a young [[Captain]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], the future Commanding General of the SLDF.<ref name="H:LoTV1p18"/>
 
 
===Periphery Uprising===
 
In [[2764]], the 160th was assigned to District 1 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]] (DCMR) as a part of the [[VIII Corps (Star League)|VIII Corps]], [[14th Army (Star League)|Fourteenth Army]]. The 160th was then transferred to District 3 of the DCMR by [[2765]] to take part in the SLDF response to the [[Periphery Uprising]].<ref name=SL147>''The Star League'', p. 147: "Fourteenth"</ref>
