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]].<ref name=SL157>''The Star League'', p. 157, "Nineteenth"</ref> The unit was stationed in the [[Brisbane]] system, which had only recently been opened to colonization. The 359th had an unexpected effect on the local economy: Due to logistics shortages [[O-P Computer Electronics]] opened a factory on Brisbane to supply the 359th's need for advanced [[Targeting-Tracking System]]s. The company's support of the [[SLDF]] made it unpopular with the population, so they had to deploy forces to protect the plant.<ref name=fmsldf225/>
