Overview[edit]
The 184th Mechanized Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History[edit]
In 2764 the 184th was a part of V Corps within the Eleventh Army and was assigned to District 1 of the Lyran Commonwealth Military Region. The 184th was subsequently transferred to District 3 by 2765 in response to the Periphery Uprising.[3] The 184th survived the war and the Hegemony Campaign, but despite the fate of the 184th being regarded as unknown for several centuries after the fall of the Star League,[3] subsequent publications released in the thirty-first and thirty-second centuries revealed that the 184th almost certainly survived the Hegemony campaign and remained in the Inner Sphere, joining Major General Lauren Hayes and the other SLDF units who chose to join ComStar in support of Jerome Blake. The 184th is believed to have formed the basis of the "mercenaries" used to create the Fourth ComStar Expeditionary Division in 2784.[1] Following Operation SILVER SHIELD in June 2788, in which ComStar's Expeditionary Divisions seized control of Terra, the vast majority of the Expeditionary Divisions were demobilized and their equipment cached for the future, forming the basis of the later Com Guards.[4]
