==History==
 
==History==
In [[2764]], the 213th was assigned, as a part of the [[LX Corps (Star League)|LX Corps]], [[5th Army (Star League)|Fifth Army]], to District 1 of the [[Capellan Confederation Military Region]] and then transferred to District 3 by [[2765]], to take part in the [[Periphery Uprising]].<ref name=SL153>''The Star League'', p. 153, "Fifth"</ref> The 213th survived the war and the [[Hegemony Campaign]], but despite the fate of the 213th being regarded as unknown for several centuries after the fall of the [[Star League]],<ref name=SL153/> subsequent publications released in the thirty-first and thirty-second centuries revealed that the 213th almost certainly survived the Hegemony campaign and remained in the [[Inner Sphere]], joining [[Major General]] [[Lauren Hayes]] and the other SLDF units who chose to join [[ComStar]] in support of [[Jerome Blake]]. The 213th is believed to have formed the basis of the "mercenaries" used to create the [[2nd ComStar Expeditionary Division|Second ComStar Expeditionary Division]] in [[2784]].<ref name="FSWp34">''First Succession War'', p. 34, "Those Left Behind (Continued)"</ref> Following [[Operation SILVER SHIELD]] in June [[2788]], in which ComStar's Expeditionary Divisions seized control of [[Terra]], the vast majority of the Expeditionary Divisions were demobilized and their equipment cached for the future, forming the basis of the later [[Com Guards]].<ref name="H:LOTV2p117">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 117, "ComStar and the Com Guard"</ref>

In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[LX Corps (Star League)|LX Corps]], [[5th Army (Star League)|Fifth Army]], to District 1 of the [[Capellan Confederation Military Region]] and then transferred to District 3 by [[2765]], to take part in the [[Periphery Uprising]].<ref name=SL153>''The Star League'', p. 153, "Fifth"</ref>The 213th survived the war and the [[Hegemony Campaign]], but it is unknown what is happend with the Division.<ref name=SL153/>
