Overview
The 165th Mechanized Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History
In 2764 the 165th was assigned, as a part of the L Corps, Sixteenth Army, to District 3 of the Draconis Combine Military Region, but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery. The 165th took heavy damage during the Periphery Uprising, with elements of the division defecting to join the rebels, and the division was disbanded.[3] In 2782 the Outworlds Alliance recruited two battalions of troops from the remnants of the 165th, and used these personnel to reactivate the Alliance Grenadiers in 2784.[1]
