Overview
The 225th Mechanized Infantry Division was a part of the Star League Defense Force Regular Army.
History
In 2764, the unit was stationed on Altoona[1], assigned as a part of the XVII Corps, Third Army, to District 2 of the Federated Suns Military Region, but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery.[2]. The 225th survived the Periphery Uprising and the Hegemony Campaign and in 2775 split into two individual battalions the Red Eagles and Simpson's Samurai [3], who later signed on as a mercenary unit with the Draconis Combine and Federated Suns respectively.[2]
