==History==
 
In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[XII Corps (Star League)|XII Corps]], [[9th Army (Star League)|Ninth Army]], to District 2 of the [[Free Worlds League Military Region]], but was moved to an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]].<ref name=SL142>''The Star League'', p. 142, "Ninth"</ref>

The 151st participated in the Canopian campaign, and during the assault on [[Terra]], they lost nearly a third of their troops. They fought in India and Mexico.<ref name=lot2p17/> The 151st took New Delhi from Amaris' forces.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 86</ref> They also landed in Veracruz, South America, and assisted the 245th BattleMech Division in destroying several [[SDS]] batteries.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 99</ref>  After the assault on Terra concluded, the 151st was based in Buenos Aires on the South American continent.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 17 "Lauren Hayes profile"</ref>

====Post-Exodus====

It is unknown what happend to the bulk of the 151st but at least one regiment went on to work for the fledgeling [[ComStar]]<ref name=SL142/><ref name=CSs013>''ComStar (sourcebook)'', p. 013</ref>.
===Post-Exodus===
 
Their commanding officer, Lauren Hayes, was a staunch critic of the [[Operation Exodus|exodus]] plan saying it was abandoning the ideals of the Star League. Due to this, [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] made a compromise with [[Jerome Blake]] that the 151st would become the military arm of [[ComStar]].<ref name=SL142/><ref name=CSs013>''ComStar (sourcebook)'', p. 013</ref><ref name=lot2p17/><ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 17-18 "Lauren Hayes profile"</ref> Despite the fate of the 151st being regarded as unknown for several centuries after the fall of the [[Star League]],<ref name=SL142/> subsequent publications released in the thirty-first and thirty-second centuries revealed that the 151st almost certainly formed the basis of the "mercenaries" used to create the [[1st ComStar Expeditionary Division|First ComStar Expeditionary Division]] in [[2784]].<ref name="FSWp34">''First Succession War'', p. 34, "Those Left Behind (Continued)"</ref> Following [[Operation SILVER SHIELD]] in June [[2788]], in which ComStar's Expeditionary Divisions seized control of [[Terra]], the vast majority of the Expeditionary Divisions were demobilized and their equipment cached for the future, forming the basis of the later [[Com Guards]].<ref name="H:LOTV2p117">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 117, "ComStar and the Com Guard"</ref>
