The '''284th BattleMech Division''' was a part of the [[Star League Defense Force]] Regular Army.

==History==
In [[2764]] the 284th was assigned, as a part of the [[XXIII Corps (Star League)|XXIII Corps]], [[15th Army (Star League)|Fifteenth Army]], to District 2 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]]. Though intended to be a multinational force like the [[410th BattleMech Division]] over time many of the officers from the Star League Member States and Terran Hegemony were promoted out of the unit. This left many officers from the [[Periphery]] nations in command, and morale suffered as they saw other officers "pass them by". The SLDF command tried to remedy this by assigning new officers from the Terran Hegemony to the unit, but as of 2765 this had made little difference to the morale problem.<ref name=FM:SLDFp183/>

During the Periphery Uprising it was moved to an undisclosed area of the [[Periphery]].<ref name=SL148>''The Star League'', p. 148, "Fifteenth"</ref> In [[2782]] an ad hoc regiment of personnel were persuaded to join the [[Outworlds Alliance]], and in [[2784]] these troops were used to reactivate the [[Alpheratz Guards]].<ref name="FSWp34">''First Succession War'', p. 34, "Those Left Behind (Continued)"</ref>
