Overview
The Two Hundredth Royal Light Horse Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. It was one of the SLDF's Royal units, which consisted of troops from the Terran Hegemony.
History
In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the LXVIII Corps, Eighteenth Army, to the Periphery Military Region.[1]The 200th was destroyed during the Periphery Uprising in 2765.[1]
LXVIII Corps relies on its independent regiments to maintain a garrison on the dozens of newly colonized worlds across the spinward regions of the Outworlds Alliance. The planet Wokha was initially settled by colonists from the Federated Suns, but a second wave of colonists from the core Outworlds Alliance worlds formed a settlement nearby. The two groups held far different beliefs on the use of technology, and the Alliance colonists felt they were not getting their fair share of the resources of the planet. A short civil conflict broke out between the two groups, and the SLDF deployed the 200th Royal Light Horse to intercede and stop the fighting before each settlement became unviable. [2]
Composition
As an SLDF Light Horse regiment the 200th would have been composed of light to medium vehicles backed up by at least two Recon companies composed of 'Mechs designed for information gathering in addition to any regular 'Mechs within the regiment.[3]
