HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The 43rd Infantry Battalion was established decades ago as part of the Galactic Alliance's planetary defence initiative, designed to reinforce strategic worlds with well-trained, adaptable infantry divisions. Initially stationed along the Mid Rim, the battalion saw numerous deployments in border conflicts, counter-insurgency operations, and defensive garrison roles.
In recent years, the 43rd has been rotated into more active combat zones, engaging in skirmishes against Sith forces, pirate incursions, and insurgent activity across contested sectors. While lacking the prestige of special forces divisions, the battalion's consistent performance and operational efficiency have cemented its role as a reliable mainstay in GADF operations.
The unit recently received new personnel transfers, including Private Livia Rehn, reassigned after an unexplained incident at a classified listening post. Though her arrival was met with little fanfare, some within the battalion have noted that she is remarkably well-adapted to combat conditions for someone with no prior infantry experience. Still, questions about the circumstances surrounding her transfer remain unanswered.
As the Galactic Alliance continues its efforts to secure its borders and repel hostile incursions, the 43rd Infantry Battalion remains a steadfast component of its defensive and offensive strategies—a force of soldiers who do their duty, without question, without fail.
