The 567th Striker Regiment was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.[1]

History

The 567th formed a part of the 222nd Mechanized Infantry Division within LII Corps, Second Army, and in 2764 was stationed in District 1 of the Federated Suns Military Region. Following the New Vandenberg Uprising the 567th was deployed into District 2 of the FSMR by the end of 2765, along with the rest of the 222nd, to backfill for units deployed into the Periphery.[1]

The 222nd took heavy losses during the Hegemony Campaign and by 2784 the division had been disbanded. The 567th survived the campaign intact as a regiment and after the 222nd was disbanded, the 567th chose not to follow Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus but instead remained in the Inner Sphere and joined the Lyran Commonwealth.[1] Joining the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces in 2782, the 567th became the Third Lyran Regulars.[2]
