In [[2583]], the Nineteenth was responsible for capturing the worlds of [[Afarsin]], [[Lockton]] and [[Nobel]], but the Nineteenth wasn't called on to assist in the conquest of [[Canopus IV]] the following year. Despite this, the Nineteenth wasn't idle in [[2584]]; acting with support from various FWLM regiments, every brigade in the Nineteenth saw combat, capturing the worlds of [[Bass]], [[Joyz]], [[Marantha]] and [[Tarol IV]].<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp149"/> While the campaign would continue after the fall of Canopus, the final SLDF victory was certain; the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] continued to resist and contested as many invasions as possible, but lacking much by way of naval assets, the Canopians were unable to redeploy rapidly as they had done in the opening stages of the war. As a result, after working with the Twenty-first Royal Division to push the two surviving regiments from the Chasseurs á Cheval from [[Candiear]] in [[2585]], the [[Fifty-fifth Brigade]] was able to defeat the [[First Canopian Light Horse]] on [[Palladix]] in [[2586]], a battle that also saw the destruction of the [[Fourth Canopian Light Horse]]; that same year, the [[Fifty-sixth Brigade]] forced the last operational Chasseurs á Cheval regiment, the [[Second Canopian Light Horse]], off the world of [[Harminous]]. The Nineteenth worked with the Twenty-first Royal Division again in [[2587]] to destroy or capture the [[Second Canopian Fusiliers]] and [[Samuelson's Slaughterers]] on the world of [[Cate's Hold]], and in the buildup to the final battle with the MAF in [[2588]] the Nineteenth captured the Magistracy outback world of [[Hardcore]].<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp149"/> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Nineteenth Division (Star League)''' |- |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History== ===2588=== '''The Nineteenth Division''' (3 Brigades)<ref name="H:RWp148"/> * [[Fifty-fifth Brigade]] :* CO: General [[Camilla Sjölander]]<ref name="H:RWp97">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 97: "Gouderak (June 2577)"</ref> * [[Fifty-sixth Brigade]] * [[Fifty-seventh Brigade]] Despite the doctrine and organization originally defined for divisions during the creation of the SLDF, the Nineteenth would most likely have been a mélange of combined arms units.<ref name="H:RWp27">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 27: "Divisions and Brigades"</ref> The breakdown for the SLDF element of the Canopian task force indicates that just under half of the SLDF regiments were [[BattleMech]] regiments, one-third were infantry regiments and the remaining forces were a mix of armor and aerospace regiments.<ref name="H:RWp95">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 95: "SLDF Task Force Canopus"</ref> ==Notes== It was confirmed by the author of ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' that, in general, the Divisions listed in [[The Star League|the ''Star League'' sourcebook]] can be traced directly to those divisions listed in ''Historical: Reunification War''.<ref name="CGL:ATW05102011">''[http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,11015.0.html Ask the Writers: Star League Divisions: Reunification War to Liberation of Terra]'' (dead link)</ref> However, there were two divisions active during the Amaris Civil War era with the designation of Nineteenth: the [[Nineteenth Infantry Division]] and the [[Nineteenth Mechanized Infantry Division]].
