History
Formed as a part of the Fifteenth BattleMech Division during the creation of the SLDF, the Forty-fourth Brigade was commanded by Lieutenant General Simone di Martino and was a part of V Corps during Operation UNION HOLD, the five-year campaign to conquer the Outworlds Alliance. The Forty-fourth 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-fourth was stationed on Senorbi when the invasion of the Alliance began and was responsible for conquering Schirmeck in August 2581, a task managed in less than an hour.[2] The Forty-fourth was then deployed forward to Medron in 2582 and then Ki Zoban in 2583.[1] For the remainder of the war against the Outworlds Alliance the Forty-fourth was involved in the protracted struggle for the planet Lushann.[1][3] After the war, the Forty-fourth 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]
