The Forty-third Royal Light Horse Regiment was a part of the [[1st Royal Division]] in [[2578]], one of three divisions that made up [[I Corps (Star League)|I Corps]], and was one of the first units to see combat in the [[Reunification War]] when the 1st Royal Division was assigned to attack the [[Taurian Concordat]] world of [[Ridgebrook]] in mid-May [[2578]]. The Forty-third spent four months fighting against the determined Taurian defenders, who had turned the Goldenridge Mountains into a series of defensive fortresses garrisoned with a significant armor force and a lot of heavy gun and missile artillery batteries. While the outcome of the campaign was never really in doubt, the Taurians continued to resist, with the vast majority of the defenders fighting until killed.<ref name="H:RWp70">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 70, "Ridgebrook"</ref>

After Ridgebrook was pacified, I Corps would be redeployed to take [[Wrentham]]. At that time, I Corps received a number of battlefield casualty replacements; amongst these was [[Nicholas Cameron]], the second child of [[First Lord]] [[Ian Cameron]] and Lady [[Shandra Noruff-Cameron]], who joined the Forty-third under an assumed name and complete with a bodyguard consisting of special forces personnel.<ref name="H:RWp164">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 164, "Lieutenant General Nicholas Cameron, SLDF (Ret.)"</ref>
