Overview

The Thirty-fifth Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.

History

In 2764 the 35th was assigned to LVI Corps, a part of the Nineteenth Army, and was stationed in the Periphery Military Region; the 35th was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery in response to the Periphery Uprising in 2765.[1]. The 35th survived both the Periphery Uprising and the Hegemony Campaign and followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[1]

Officers

The last commanding officer of the 35th Infantry Division was Lieutenant General John Fletcher[2] who was in command of the 35th from at least 2765[3] until the end of the Amaris Civil War. Fletcher would later become the first Khan of Clan Hell's Horses.[4]

Composition

As an SLDF Infantry division the 35th would have been formed from two brigades of grunt infantry and a brigade of light BattleMech regiments.[5]

Notes

The Alpha Keshik of Clan Hell's Horses shares the same nickname as that of the 35th.
