The Forty-seventh Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.

History[edit]

In 2764, the unit was stationed on Suianheer,[3] assigned as part of XV Corps, Fifteenth Army to District 2 of the Draconis Combine Military Region.[1] As the vast majority of Suianheer's population was centered around a few cities, infantry was deemed the most appropriate unit type for the garrison assignment.[2]

The Forty-seventh was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery in 2765 to take part in the Periphery Uprising. The division suffered heavy losses and was disbanded in 2766.[1]
