==History==
 
==History==
One of a number of divisions formed during [[First Lord]] [[Jonathan Cameron]]'s military buildups in the 2720s and given an appellation reflecting one the core values of the [[Star League]] rather than one specific battle, concept or world, the 428th was assigned to [[LXVII Corps (Star League)|LXVII Corps]], [[20th Army (Star League)|Twentieth Army]]. Future commander of the Twentieth Army [[General]] [[Gal Vlasic]] served in the divisional staff of the 428th before assuming command of the division in [[2749]], eventually transferring to command of the LXVII Corps in [[2749]]. <ref name=FMSLDF-231>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 231 "Rim Worlds Republic Military Region - Twentieth Army - Command"</ref> <ref name=FMSLDF-237>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 237 "Rim Worlds Republic Military Region - Twentieth Army - LXVII Corps"</ref>

The 428<sup>th</sup> formed a part of [[LXVII Corps (Star League)|LXVII Corps]], [[20th Army (Star League)|Twentieth Army]], and in [[2764]] was stationed on an undisclosed world within the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] [[Territorial State]]. The 428<sup>th</sup> suffered heavy losses during the [[New Vandenberg Uprising|Periphery Uprising]] in [[2765]] and the [[division]] was disbanded as a result; some elements of the [[division]] joined the rebels.<ref name="SLp158"/>
 
 
The 428th Division were one of the more notable units to openly resist the post-[[Birthday Proclamations]] withdrawal of the Twentieth Army from the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] [[Territorial State]], with then commander [[Major General]] [[Donald Sachs]] attempting to bribe the SLDF Transport Subcommand officers transporting the Concordance Division to carry them back into the Republic instead. With Sach, the assistant division commander, division operations officer and divisional logistical commander all relieved of command with cause, the Transport Subcommand deposited the 428th on [[Duran]] in [[2763]], the division confined to Fort Amalthia as JAG Command investigated the unit's actions. As of [[2764]] [[Lieutenant General]] [[Florence Anderson]], former chief of staff of the 428th Division, was in command, though nobody knew if she would retain it once the 428th resumed movement.<ref name=FMSLDF-237/>
 
 
 
The 428th suffered heavy losses during the [[New Vandenberg Uprising|Periphery Uprising]] in [[2765]] and the [[division]] was disbanded as a result; some elements of the division joined the rebels<ref name="SLp158"/> with at least one regiments worth of troops from the 428th becoming the [[Cardinal Sins]] [[mercenary unit]] in [[2771]].<ref name=FSW-36>''First Succession War'', p. 36, "Those Left Behind"</ref>
