==History==
The First French Regiment was formed from the First Foreign Cavalry Regiment of the French Foreign Legion. The unit was founded in [[1921]] and fought in every war on [[Terra]] until the [[Second Soviet Civil War]]. After that it was sent off-world to garrison French-speaking colonies.<ref name=fmsldf224/>
+
In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[LVI Corps (Star League)|LVI Corps]], [[Nineteenth (Star League)|Nineteenth Army]], to the [[Periphery Military Region]], but was moved to an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]] by [[2765]], to take part in the [[Reunification War]].<ref name=SL157>''The Star League'', p. 157, "Nineteenth"</ref>The 1st was destroyed during the [[Hegemony Campaign]].<ref name=SL157/>
  
In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[LVI Corps (Star League)|LVI Corps]], [[19th Army (Star League)|Nineteenth Army]], to the [[Periphery Military Region]]. At this time it was stationed on [[Paf]].<ref name=fmsldf224/>
 
 
In [[2765]] it was part of a force that landed on [[New Vandenberg]] in an effort to curtail growing anti-League sentiment.  However, a squad from the regiment was killed in a running battle with a platoon from the local militia regiment.  The regiment's commander, not wanting to jeopardize ongoing negotiations, refused to retaliate.  The local militia, fearing a reprisal attack, launched their own assault, and the resulting Battle of Fort Gorki would lead to the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]].<ref name=SLp77>''The Star League'', p. 77</ref><ref name=SL157>''The Star League'', p. 157, "Nineteenth"</ref>  Though it would survive the uprising, the First was destroyed during the [[Hegemony Campaign]].<ref name=SL157/>
