Parent Command LXIII Corps

The 249th BattleMech Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.

History[edit]

In 2764, the unit was stationed on Cavalor,[2] assigned as part of LXIII Corps, Sixth Army to District 2 of the Capellan Confederation Military Region.[3] Three of the 249th's five most recent supply shipments had been subject to losses from theft. Star League Intelligence Command was convinced that the group stealing the critical supplies and spares were acting with the benefit of Capellan Confederation intelligence, but the immediate effect was that of the 249th's various brigades: each had approximately enough equipment for a company offline due to the missing supplies, which raised the real risk of the division taking additional casualties during any operation.[1]

The 249th was moved to an undisclosed are of the Periphery in 2765 to take part in the Periphery Uprising. The unit was destroyed during the Hegemony Campaign.[3]
