Affiliation Star League
Parent Command XXII Corps


The Ninety-Fifth Mechanized Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.[1]

History[edit]

The Ninety-Fifth formed a part of XXII Corps, Fourteenth Army, and in 2764 was stationed in District 1 of the Draconis Combine Military Region. Following the New Vandenberg Uprising and subsequent Periphery uprising the Ninety-Fifth was moved to District 2 of the DCMR in 2765 to backfill for units deployed into the periphery.[1]

The Ninety-Fifth survived the Hegemony Campaign and the bulk of the division followed Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus but elements of the division remained behind and joined the Draconis Combine.[1] The Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery recruited roughly a regiments-worth of personnel from the Ninety-fifth, and used those personnel to form the new Twenty-first Dieron Regulars in 2782.[2]
