==History==
The '''Fourteenth Royal Division''' was a part of the [[Star League Defense Force]] Regular Army. Formed as a part of [[V Corps (Star League)|V Corps]] during the creation of the [[SLDF]] in the beginning years of the [[Star League]], the 14th Division served in the [[Outworlds Alliance]] campaign from the beginning of [[Operation UNION HOLD]] in [[2581]] until peace was declared with the [[Treaty of Cerberus]] in [[2585]].<ref name="H:RWp140">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 140, "Outworlds Alliance Front"</ref>

As a part of the Outworlds Alliance task force, the 14th was stationed on the [[Draconis Combine]] worlds of [[Sinope]] and [[Goubellat]] when the invasion of the Alliance began, moving forward to pacify the occupied world of [[Bad News]] in [[2581]] and then moving forward again to the world of [[Valentina]] in [[2582]], after Valentina had been captured by [[DCMS]] forces attached to the Outworlds Alliance Task Force. The first major combat for the 14th was the invasion of [[Ki Zoban]] in [[2583]] by the 40th Brigade, followed by the V Corps massing on Ki Zoban.<ref name="H:RWp123">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 123, "Ki Zoban"</ref>

Following the invasion of Ki Zoban the 14th was tasked with after seek and destroy raids as a part of [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]]'s plan to defeat the will and ability of the Alliance to resist. The 41st and 42nd Brigades raided [[Dindatari]] and then [[Quiberas]], laying waste to towns, cities and factories. The 40th was one of three brigades formed led by Forlough on a raid against the world of [[Tellman IV]], only to be heavily damaged in the resulting [[Day of Vengeance]] at the hands of the [[Pitcairn Legion]] and [[Outworlds Alliance Militia]] forces.<ref name="H:RWp140"/><ref name="H:RWp124">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 124, "Baby Killers Unleashed"</ref>

The 41st spent the remainder of the war on Valentina, whilst the 42nd joined the [[15th BattleMech Division|Fifteenth Division]] forces attempting to conquer [[Lushann]]; the 40th spend [[2584]] on [[Medron]], presumably rebuilding after the battle on Tellman IV, before joining the ongoing campaign to occupy [[Cerberus (system)|Cerberus]] in [[2585]].<ref name="H:RWp140"/> After the war, the 14th Division 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.<ref name="H:RWp160">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 157-160, "The Terms of Outworlds Freedom"</ref>

'''14th Division'''
*[[40th Brigade]]
*[[41st Brigade]]
*[[42nd Brigade]]

Despite the doctrine and organization originally defined for divisions during the creation of the SLDF, the 14th would most likely have been a mélange of combined armed units.<ref name="H:RWp27">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 27, "Divisions and Brigades"</ref>

==Notes==
It was confirmed by the author of [[Historical: Reunification War]] that in general, the Divisions listed within [[The Star League|the Star League sourcebook]] be traced back directly to those Divisions listed within 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]''</ref> However, in [[2764]] there are two divisions listed as the 14th within the [[SLDF]]: the [[14th Mechanized Infantry Division]], [[XXV Corps (Star League)|XXV Corps]]<ref name=SL141>''The Star League'', p. 141, "Eighth"</ref> and the [[14th Infantry Division]], [[XXVI Corps (Star League)|XXVI Corps]].<ref name=SL143>''The Star League'', p. 143, "Tenth"</ref> It is not known which of these can trace their history back to the 14th Division of the [[Reunification War]] era.
