Overview
The 265th Mechanized Infantry Division or the Pride of Pittsburgh was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.[1]
History
The Division was created on the planet Belluevue and named after the continent of Pittsburgh located there.[2]
The 265th formed a part of XLVIII Corps, Seventeenth Army, and in 2764 was stationed on an undisclosed world within the Magistracy of Canopus area of the Periphery Military Region.[1]
The 265th took heavy losses during the Periphery Uprising and by 2766 the Pride of Pittsburgh had been disbanded as a division. Elements of the division went on to join the Periphery rebels and the Capellan Confederation.[1] The Capellan Confederation Armed Forces recruited approximately a regiment's-worth of personnel from the remains of the 265th in 2775, and in 2784 the CCAF used those personnel as the base for forming two new regiments, the Sixth and Seventh St. Ives Lancers.[3]
