The Eleventh Royal BattleMech Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army. It was one of the SLDF's Royal units, which consisted of troops from the Terran Hegemony.

History[edit]

In 2721, one of the officers from the Eleventh, Colonel Baumgarten, was serving as commanding officer of the Nagelring military academy on Tharkad. During that year, Baumgarten was responsible for recruiting future Commanding General Aleksandr Kerensky into the Nagelring and the SLDF.[2]

In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the II Corps, Eleventh Army, to District 2 of the Lyran Commonwealth Military Region but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery to take part in the Periphery Uprising by 2765.[3] The Eleventh survived the war and the Hegemony Campaign, and followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[3]
