The 212th Mechanized Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History[edit]
In 2764 the 212th was a part of XXXV Corps within the Fifteenth Army and was assigned to District 2 of the Draconis Combine Military Region. They were assigned to garrison Togura, a system that provided a large amount of industrial metals. The component commands were responsible for guarding energy infrastructure, which required them to protect solar panel farms, refineries, and orbital solar power collectors.[1]
The 212th was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery in response to the Periphery Uprising in 2765.[2] The 212th survived the war and the Hegemony Campaign, and followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[2]
