==History==
 
==History==
In [[2764]] the Twenty-ninth was a part of [[II Corps (Star League)|II Corps]] within the [[12th Army (Star League)|Twelfth Army]] and was stationed within District 2 of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Military Region]]. When the [[New Vandenberg Uprising|Periphery Uprising]] erupted in [[2765]] the Twenty-Ninth was redeployed into the [[Periphery]] where the Division took losses heavy enough to cause the Division to be disbanded. Although the Twenty-ninth ceased to exist as a unit at this point, elements of the Division continued to fight throughout the [[Hegemony Campaign]], but after the campaign those remnants chose to remain in the [[Inner Sphere]] when [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] led [[Operation Exodus]]. Those elements of the former Twenty-ninth that remained behind entered service with the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]]<ref name="SLSBp145">''The Star League'', p. 145, "Twelfth Army"</ref> in [[2782]] as the [[Twenty-fourth Dieron Regulars]].<ref name="FSWp32">''First Succession War'', p. 32, "Those Left Behind"</ref>
