| Affiliation | Star League |

The 236th Mechanized Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History[edit]
Prior to the fall of the Star League, members of the 236th went on a killing spree on Arcadia (LC) which caused serious political fallout between the SLDF and the Lyran Commonwealth.[1]
In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XLIX Corps, Eleventh Army, to District 1 of the Lyran Commonwealth Military Region, and then transferred to District 2 by 2765 in response to the Periphery Uprising.[2]
At the start of Operation CHIEFTAIN in July 2772, the division was roughly at full strength.[3]
The 236th survived the Uprising and the Hegemony Campaign, but didn't leave with General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus, instead joining the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces.[2] Recruited by the LCAF in 2782, the 236th was rebadged as the Sixth Arcturan Guards.[4]
