'''David Cline''' was a senior officer in the [[Star League Defense Force]]'s [[238th Mechanized Infantry Division]] and later a founding member of the [[Eighth Lyran Regulars]].<ref name=FSWp111/>

==History==
In [[2775]], agents of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] approached the remnants of the 238th Mechanized Infantry in the hopes of recruiting experienced soldiers for their military forces. [[Colonel]] Cline's faction of the 238th MI had been imprisoned in a stockade for causing internal violence within the unit and the Lyran solicitors promised his and his men's freedom if they accepted the offer. When the non-imprisoned elements of the 238th MI splintered even further between those willing to accept payment from the Lyrans for Cline's troops and those unwilling to betray the ideals of [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], Cline's soldiers would ultimately be freed to serve the Lyran Commonwealth after a fierce battle between both factions. Cline and his soldiers would go on to become the core of the Eighth Lyran Regulars, while his liberators became the [[Iron Raven Mercenary Group]] and his captors limped off to join Kerensky's [[Operation EXODUS|exodus]] from the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name=FSWp111/>
