Overview[edit]
The Ninety-first Heavy Assault Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History[edit]
In 2602, in the wake of the Reunification War, the Ninety-first was briefly involved in the increasing tensions between the Star League and the Draconis Combine, caused by the drunken and paranoid Coordinator Leonard Kurita's search for his bastard children. Convinced that First Lord Ian Cameron had secretly spirited some into the Terran Hegemony, in 2602 Leonard ordered several lances of BattleMechs and platoons of infantry to scour schools and orphanages on the jointly owned world of Asta for any of his heirs, contravening the Jointly Held Worlds Agreement forbidding the deployment of military forces. Sent in to eject the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery troops, by the time the Ninety-first landed on Asta the Combine forces had withdrawn along with fourteen children they believed resembled the Coordinator. Ultimately medical tests proved that none were related to Leonard Kurita and all fourteen were returned to Asta, but the incident only served to escalate tensions between the two powers.[2]
In 2763, the Regiment was stationed on New Samarkand, rarely deploying away due to lack of transport JumpShips.[3] In 2764, the Ninety-first was assigned, as part of XL Corps, Fifteenth Army, to District 2 of the Draconis Combine Military Region, but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery to take part in the Periphery Uprising by 2765.[4]
Having survived the war and the Hegemony Campaign, it was the first regiment of the SLDF to desert in the summer of 2783, joining the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns,[5][4] who redesignated the regiment as the Second Crucis Lancers.[1]
