History
The Forty-First Brigade was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. Formed as a part of the 14th Division during the creation of the SLDF, the 41st Brigade was a part of V Corps during Operation UNION HOLD, the five-year campaign to conquer the Outworlds Alliance. The 41st Brigade served as a part of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force from the start of the operation in 2581 until peace was declared with the Treaty of Cerberus in 2585.[1]
The 41st was stationed on Sinope when the invasion of the Alliance began and was deployed forward to pacify the population of Bad News in 2581,[2] before deploying to Valentina in 2582 and then Ki Zoban in 2583.[1] The 41st saw active combat twice in 2583 after being mustered on Ki Zoban along with the majority of V Corps; the 41st was one half of a two-brigade raiding party that that attacked Dindatari and then Quiberas in 2583 on seek and destroy raids as a part of General Amos Forlough's plan to defeat the will and ability of the Alliance to resist by attacking civilian populations and industries.[3]
The 41st spent the remainder of the war as a garrison on Valentina;[1] after the war, the 41st Brigade and the bulk of V Corps formed the major part of the Outworlds Alliance Army of Occupation, establishing bases alongside the new Star League administration offices on each of the Outworlds Alliance worlds.[4]
