The 256th Independent Aero Wing was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.

History[edit]

In 2764, the unit was assigned as a part of XXV Corps, Eighth Army to District 1 of the Free Worlds League Military Region.[1] They were stationed in the Principality of Regulus and had spent most of the previous year attached to a flotilla of Seventh Fleet's Seventy-second Recon Squadron, as that unit was low on aerospace fighter support and vulnerable from recent pirate attacks.[2]

The 256th was transferred to District 3 by 2765 to take part in the Periphery Uprising. The unit was destroyed during the Hegemony Campaign.[1]

Composition History[edit]

As an SLDF Independent Aero Wing, the 256th had a battalion of attached mechanized infantry for security and rapid-response duties.[3][4]
