Overview
The Fifty-ninth Jump Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. Bearing the nickname "The King's Own Jump Troops", most of the 59th's units were drawn from the old British army. By convention, any member of the Duke of England's family that enlisted in the SLDF was assigned to the 59th Jump.[1]
History
In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XXXVI Corps, Sixteenth Army, to District 3 of the Draconis Combine Military Region but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery in 2765 as part of the redeployment effort to fight the Periphery Uprising.[2] The 59th survived the war and the Hegemony Campaign, and followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[2]
