History
The Seventy-first Mechanized were attached the the 2nd Sword of Light to provide infantry support[1] at the time of their betrayal. They were not guilty of treason however, and were assigned to the 9th Sword of Light.[2]
The Seventy-First Mechanized was equipped with a field artillery battalion. This battalion was broken down into platoons of twenty-four soldiers equipped with autorifles and semi-portable autocannon. These weapons were fearsome, but more importantly each platoon was responsible for operating a Thumper Artillery Piece in combat.[2]
Officers
In 3059 the unit's commanding officer was Tai-sa Earl Washington[1]. In 3067 the unit's commanding officer was Chu-sa Renee Al-Lanna[3].
