==History==
The Ninth Division received its nickname because its ancestor unit had been stationed near Puget Sound.  In [[2764]], the unit was stationed on [[Cartago]],<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 252: "SLDF - Federated Suns Military Command Map"</ref> assigned as a part of the [[IX Corps (Star League)|IX Corps]], [[2nd Army (Star League)|Second Army]], to District 1 of the [[Federated Suns Military Region]].

In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[IX Corps (Star League)|IX Corps]], [[Second(Star League)|Second Army]], to District 1 of the [[Federated Suns Military Region]] and then transferred to District 2 by [[2765]].<ref name=SL150>''The Star League'', p. 150, "Second"</ref>. The 9th survived the war and the [[Hegemony Campaign]], and followed General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]] in [[2784]].<ref name=SL150/>
  
With the start of the [[Amaris Civil War]], the 9th would survive the [[Hegemony Campaign]] to take part in the [[Operation Liberation|liberation of Terra]] itself.  In combination with the [[332nd BattleMech Division]], the Ninth would lead the invasion of North America from across the Bering Strait into Alaska.  Appropriately, the Ninth Division was the first to enter Puget Sound and glimpse Unity City on September 3, [[2779]], and took part in the final battles of the war.  Having survived the downfall of the [[Star League]], it would join [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] in his [[Operation Exodus|exodus]].<ref name=SL150/><ref>''The Star League'', p. 93</ref>
