Parent Command LXIV Corps[1]

The 167th Light Horse Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.

History[edit]

In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the LXIV Corps, Eighteenth Army, to the Periphery Military Region.[2]. There they worked to patrol the new colonies of the Outworlds Alliance and protect the Department of Mega-Engineering projects. When not there, they were on False Dawn or Cerberus training and refitting.[1]

The ultimate fate of the 167th is completely unknown.[2] Speculation exits that the regiment became a mercenary unit in 2784 and has been linked to the Thirty-second Recon Combat Group however this remains unconfirmed.[3] Given the known history of that command it would seem unlikely.[4]
