Overview
The 161st Mechanized Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History
In 2764 the 161st was assigned, as a part of the XLVI Corps, Nineteenth Army, to the Periphery Military Region, but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery by 2765, to take part in the SLDF response to the Periphery Uprising. The 161st took heavy losses during the Uprising, and the division was disbanded.[3] An ad-hoc regiment of personnel from the 161st defected to the Taurian Concordat in 2766, but was destroyed in 2767.[1]
