Overview[edit]
The Fifty-fifth Royal Light Horse Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. As a Royal unit, its personnel were recruited exclusively from worlds within the Terran Hegemony.[1]
History[edit]
The Fifty-Fifth was an independent regiment within LXII Corps, Fourth Army, and a member of the 4th RCT. In 2764 the Fifty-Fifth was assigned to District 3 of the Federated Suns Military Region; in 2765 the Fifty-Fifth was deployed into the Periphery Military Region along with the rest of LXII Corps following the New Vandenberg Uprising and the subsequent Periphery-wide uprising.[1]
After surviving both the Periphery Uprising and the Hegemony Campaign the regiment chose to follow General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[1]
