History[edit]
Formed as a part of the Fourteenth Division during the creation of the SLDF, the Forty-second Brigade was a part of V Corps during Operation UNION HOLD, the five-year campaign to conquer the Outworlds Alliance. The Forty-second Brigade served as a part of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force from the start of the operation in 2581 until peace was declared with the Treaty of Cerberus in 2585.[1]
The Forty-second was stationed on Goubellat when the invasion of the Alliance began and was deployed forward to pacify the population of Bad News in 2581,[2] before deploying to Valentina in 2582 and then Ki Zoban in 2583.[1] The Forty-second saw active combat twice in 2583 after being mustered on Ki Zoban along with the majority of V Corps; the Forty-second was one half of a two-brigade raiding party that that attacked Dindatari and then Quiberas in 2583 on seek-and-destroy raids as a part of General Amos Forlough's plan to defeat the will and ability of the Alliance to resist by attacking civilian populations and industries.[3]
The Forty-second spent the remainder of the war locked in the grinding battle for Lushann;[1] after the war, the Forty-second Brigade and the bulk of V Corps formed the major part of the Outworlds Alliance Army of Occupation, establishing bases alongside the new Star League administration offices on each of the Outworlds Alliance worlds.[4]
