The Seventy-fifth Light Horse Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.

History[edit]

In the 2730s, Admiral Joan Brandt's first posting of her military career was with the Seventy-fifth Light Horse. At that time, the regiment was seemingly relegated to ground support operations, attacking and dropping bombs on relatively immobile targets.[1]

In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XXVI Corps, Tenth Army, to District 3 of the Free Worlds League Military Region. The Seventy-fifth formed part of the First Regimental Combat Team, along with the Forty-second Hussar Regiment, 138th Dragoon Regiment, and 195th Royal Light Horse Regiment.[2]

It was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery. The Seventy-fifth was destroyed during the Periphery Uprising in 2765.[3]
