The '''246th Royal BattleMech Division''' or '''the Saffel Division''' was a part of the [[Star League Defense Force]] Regular Army. As one of the [[Star League Defense Force Royal Divisions|SLDF Royal units]] the Saffel Division recruited from [[Terran Hegemony]] worlds exclusively.<ref name="SLp154">''The Star League'', p. 154</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Between early [[2762]] and late [[2763]] the morale of the unit suffered, in response the commanding officer replaced six Battalion commanders and one Brigade commander for "seditious talk".<ref name=FM:SLDFp99/><br />
<br />
The 246th formed a part of [[LVIII Corps (Star League)|LVIII Corps]], [[7th Army (Star League)|Seventh Army]], and in [[2764]] was stationed in District 3 of the [[Capellan Confederation Military Region]]. Following the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]] and subsequent Periphery uprising the 246th was deployed along with the rest of [[LVIII Corps (Star League)|LVIII Corps]] into an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]], where the division was destroyed.<ref name="SLp154"/><br />
