Star League[edit]
In 2764, the unit was assigned as a part of XII Corps, Ninth Army to District 2 of the Free Worlds League Military Region.[2][3]
The Fifty-second was transferred to an undisclosed district within the Periphery by 2765. The unit survived the Periphery Uprising and the Hegemony Campaign, but did not leave with Aleksandr Kerensky.[2]
Mercenary[edit]
The unit became a mercenary force serving under the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery[2][4][5] in 2783.[6][See Notes] During the First Succession War, they were deployed to the world of Pilkhua in 2786,[7] and then Hesperus II in December 2787, where they would be destroyed in entirety by the time the DCMS retreated in January 2788.[1]
