{{infoBoxMilitaryCommand | image = | Designation = 37th Royal Brigade | formed = [[2571]] | Disbanded = | Previous Designation = | Nickname = | Affiliation = [[Star League]] | Parent Command = [[13th Royal Division]] | Sub-Command = }} ==History== The '''Thirty-Seventh Royal Brigade''' was a part of the [[Star League Defense Force]] Regular Army. Formed as a part of the [[13th Royal Division]] during the creation of the [[SLDF]], the 37th Royal Brigade was a part of [[V Corps (Star League)|V Corps]] during [[Operation UNION HOLD]], the five-year campaign to conquer the [[Outworlds Alliance]]. The 37th Royal 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]].<ref name="H:RWp140">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 141, "Outworlds Alliance Front"</ref> The 37th was stationed on [[Pondicherry]] when the invasion of the Alliance began and was deployed forward to pacify the population of [[Bad News]] in 2581.<ref name="H:RWp110">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 110-111, "Fait Accompli(shed)"</ref> The 37th was then tasked with the invasion of [[Haynesville]] in [[2582]], and landed on the 7th of February 2582. Initially, the 37th appeared to make quick progress towards securing Haynesville, but these efforts stumbled over the 14th and 15th of February as local militia forces staged a series of attacks. Haynesville was one of a number of worlds pledged to become protectorates of the [[Federated Suns]] under the terms of the secret [[Tancredi Accord]], and the local militia had been extensively trained in secret for four months prior to the arrival of the 37th by [[Captain]] [[Joshua March]], a trained [[AFFS]] officer.<ref name="H:RWp120">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 120, "Haynesville"</ref> After these initial attacks by the militia, the 37th halted combat operations for a week while infantry units were deployed forward alongside the [['Mech]] and [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] forces, a week that the militia used to score a number of victories against the 37th, including the defeat of a complete mixed [[company]] of 'Mechs and armor at the Braszos water plant, as well as twice deflecting attempts by the 37th to follow the standing order issued by the SLDF Task Force commanding officer, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]], to punish resistance to SLDF forces by leveling civilian towns and cities.<ref name="H:RWp120"/> In early March, the Haynesville militia received reinforcements in the form of a detachment from the [[Pitcairn Legion]], who immediately began working with the militia forces to generate the impression that the 37th were up against substantial forces. By staging multiple attacks and disguising damage to Legion 'Mechs by cosmetic means, the Alliance forces successfully deceived [[Lieutenant General]] [[Thomas Sexton]], the 37th's commanding officer, into believing that he was facing a force with superior numbers. By the 27th of March, the 37th was running low on supplies and had received no word of reinforcements, leading Sexton to formally surrender to the Pitcairn Legion on the 29th of March.<ref name="H:RWp120"/> Under guard, the officers and men of the 37th built internment facilities for themselves, and were discovered there by reinforcements from the [[39th Royal Brigade]], who landed on Haynesville in early April. General Forlough arrived on Haynesville soon after receiving reports on what had happened, and began an extremely harsh campaign of punishment against both the civilian population and the officers of the 37th. Sexton was punished the most severely of all; he was convicted of cowardice under fire, and hanged on the 29th of March 2583.<ref name="H:RWp120"/> Every officer in the 37th of the rank of captain or above was demoted and imprisoned under convictions for cowardice and dereliction of duty; the commanding officer of the 13th Royal Division was dismissed, along with the assistant commanding officer and operations officer, as well as [[Major General]] [[Laszlo Hooker]], the commander of V Corps, and his second in command.<ref name="H:RWp120"/> Following their defeat on Haynesville the 37th was moved back to [[Bryceland]], where the brigade spent the remainder of the war trying to rebuild.<ref name="H:RWp140"/> After the war, the 37th 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.<ref name="H:RWp160">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 157-160, "The Terms of Outworlds Freedom"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 37th Brigade (SLDF)''' |- | [[Lieutenant General]]||[[Thomas Sexton]]||[[2582]]<ref name="H:RWp120"/> |- |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History== Unknown. ==Rules== <div class="gamerules"> ===Reunification War=== * In battles that occur prior to [[2853]], when randomly generating force experience 37th Royal Brigade forces apply a -1 penalty to the Random Experience Level roll.<ref name="H:RWp181">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 181, "The Star League"</ref> **This penalty doesn't apply from [[2853]] onward. * In battles that occur prior to [[2853]] all 37th Royal Brigade forces receive a -1 penalty to Initiative unless they are the defender in the scenario.<ref name="H:RWp181"/> **This penalty doesn't apply from [[2853]] onward. * In battles from [[2853]] onward 37th Royal Brigade units may Bank Initiative.<ref name="H:RWp181"/> * In battles from [[2853]] onward the 37th Royal Brigade may select its own home edge in any battle in which it is the attacker.<ref name="H:RWp181"/> </div> ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' [[Category:Star League Defense Force Commands - Brigade|Brigade, 0037th Royal]] [[Category:Star League Defense Force Commands - Royal Commands|Brigade, 0037th Royal]]
