The 202nd was moved to the [[Taurian Concordat]] in [[2765]] and was destroyed during the [[Periphery Uprising]] due to the inexperience and timidness of its officers. Then-[[Colonel]] [[Jack Lucas]] of the [[253rd Battle Regiment]] was promoted to [[brigade]] commander in the field and led the retreat of the [[division]]'s survivors that numbered only ten [[battalions]]. Lucas was later promoted to command the [[255th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division]], though it is not recorded if the remnants of the 202nd joined him.<ref name=SLp152/><ref name=H:LoT2p18>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 18: "Jack Lucas"</ref><ref name=H:LoT1p94>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 94: "Troops Involved in the Taurian Uprising"</ref>
