History[edit]
Formed as a part of the Fifteenth Division during the creation of the SLDF, the Forty-fifth Brigade was a part of V Corps during Operation UNION HOLD, the five-year campaign to conquer the Outworlds Alliance. The Forty-fifth Brigade served as a part of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force from the start of the operation in 2581 until peace was declared with the Treaty of Cerberus in 2585.[1]
The Forty-fifth was stationed on Delacruz when the invasion of the Alliance began and was deployed first to Weisau in 2581, Medron in 2582, and then Ki Zoban in 2583.[1] The Forty-fifth saw active combat twice in 2583 after being mustered on Ki Zoban along with the majority of V Corps;[2] the Forty-fifth was a part of the force that attacked Lushann in 2583,[3] before being deployed as part of an ad hoc division of three brigades on a raid on Tellman IV by the commander of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force, General Amos Forlough. As a result, the Forty-fifth was heavily involved in the disastrous battle on Tellman IV that became known as the Day of Vengeance, which resulted in V Corps losing a third of its combat strength in an ambush at the hands of the Pitcairn Legion and the Outworlds Alliance Militia.[1][4]
The Forty-fifth spent the remainder of the war locked in the constant grinding battle for Lushann.[1] After the war, the Forty-fifth Brigade and the bulk of V Corps formed the major part of the Outworlds Alliance Army of Occupation, establishing bases alongside the new Star League administration offices on each of the Outworlds Alliance worlds.[5]
