The Thirty-eighth Royal CAAN Marine Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. It was one of the SLDF's Royal units, which consisted of troops from the Terran Hegemony.

History[edit]

The Thirty-eighth Royal CAAN formed a part of XLIII Corps, Seventeenth Army, and in 2764 was stationed at an undisclosed but presumably water-rich world in the Magistracy of Canopus Territorial State.[1] The Thirty-eighth functioned as a reserve unit, and as a result remained idle in recent years as there has been no action in XLIII Corps' operational area.[2]

During the Periphery Uprising in 2765, the Thirty-eighth took heavy casualties and was disbanded by 2766,[1] though a single battalion went on to join the rebels and was destroyed in combat in 2768.[3]
