History
In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XII Corps, Ninth Army, to District 2 of the Free Worlds League Military Region, but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery.[1]
The 151st participated in the Canopian campaign, and during the assault on Terra, they lost nearly a third of their troops. They fought in India and Mexico.[2] The 151st took New Delhi from Amaris' forces.[3] They also landed in Veracruz, South America, and assisted the 245th BattleMech Division in destroying several SDS batteries.[4] After the assault on Terra concluded, the 151st was based in Buenos Aires on the South American continent.[5]
Post-Exodus
Their commanding officer, Lauren Hayes, was a staunch critic of the exodus plan saying it was abandoning the ideals of the Star League. Due to this, Aleksandr Kerensky made a compromise with Jerome Blake that the 151st would become the military arm of ComStar.[1][6][2][7]
Officers
The last known commander of the 151st was Major General Lauren Hayes.[6] General Hayes later went on to act as the first commander of ComStar's armed forces.[2]
Tactics
Composition
As an SLDF BattleMech Division the 151st would have been composed with two Brigades of 'Mech regiments and one brigade of Mechanized Infantry regiments.[8]
