History[edit]

The Forty-Fifth Brigade was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. Formed as a part of the 15th Division during the creation of the SLDF, the 45th Brigade was a part of V Corps during Operation UNION HOLD, the five-year campaign to conquer the Outworlds Alliance. The 45th Brigade served as a part of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force from the start of the operation in 2581 until peace was declared with the Treaty of Cerberus in 2585.[1]

The 45th was stationed on Delacruz when the invasion of the Alliance began and was deployed first to Weisau in 2581, Medron in 2582 and then Ki Zoban in 2583.[1] The 45th saw active combat twice in 2583 after being mustered on Ki Zoban along with the majority of V Corps;[2] the 45th was a part of the force that attacked Lushann in 2583,[3] before being deployed as part of an ad hoc division of three brigades on a raid on Tellman IV by the commander of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force, General Amos Forlough. As a result, the 45th was heavily involved in the disastrous battle on Tellman IV that became known as the Day of Vengeance, which resulted in V Corps losing a third of its combat strength in an ambush at the hands of the Pitcairn Legion and the Outworlds Alliance Militia.[1][4]

The 45th spent the remainder of the war locked in the constant grinding battle for Lushann.[1] After the war, the 45th Brigade and the bulk of V Corps formed the major part of the Outworlds Alliance Army of Occupation, establishing bases alongside the new Star League administration offices on each of the Outworlds Alliance worlds.[5]
