==History==
The Ninety-ninth Division served as the garrison unit for [[Dieron]]. While there, they were responsible for defending the headquarters for [[Army Group Kurita]], the headquarters of [[14th Army (Star League)|Fourteenth Army]], and the headquarters of [[XXI Corps (Star League)|XXI Corps]]. Dieron was a major transship point for SLDF units moving into or out of the [[Draconis Combine]], and the Ninety-ninth took advantage of these frequent visitors to broaden their training regimen.<ref name=FMSLDFp43>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 43: "99th BattleMech Division"</ref>
