The 231st Light Horse Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History[edit]
The 231st won the Best Regiment category of the SLDF's Twenty-first Martial Olympiad in 2720 held on Outreach.[2][3]
In 2764, the unit was assigned as part of VIII Corps, Fourteenth Army to District 1 of the Draconis Combine Military Region.[4] The 231st and sister 139th Light Horse Regiment were used to stage surprise practice raids on divisions within XIV Corps, using their speed to test how quickly units reacted. Defensively, the 231st and 139th often operated as a pseudo light horse regimental combat team.[5]
The 231st was transferred to District 2 in 2765 in response to the Periphery Uprising. Having survived the Hegemony Campaign,[4] the 231st chose to join the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces in 2783 as the reactivated Fourteenth Donegal Guards.[1]
