| | == History == |
| | In [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]], following the events of the [[Eighth Great Jedi War]] and subsequent loss of the [[Antei System]], the Dark Council sought the creation of a rapidly deployable, multi-mission ground force to compliment the capabilities of the new fleet. Recruiting from former [[starwars:Imperial_remnant|Imperial Remnant]] military personnel loyal to the Brotherhood, the framework was laid down for the 13th Starborne Division. Manning for the unit was further swelled by dispossessed veterans of defeated militaries from various worlds fallen to the [[starwars:Yuuzhan_Vong|Yuuzhan Vong]]. |

Manning for the unit was further swelled by dispossessed veterans of defeated militaries from various worlds fallen to the Yuuzhan Vong.
| | == Organization == |
| | The 13th was configured as a rapid deployment force that consisted of five legionary combat teams of infantry, armor, combat support, and aerospace assault elements capable of conducting self-sustaining operations in varied terrain for extended periods of time across the galaxy. Each legion was directly supported by one fleet of the Dark Brotherhood '''Navy''' under the organization of Joint Task Force Rancor which provided mobility, orbital fire-support, and close air-support in the facilitation of planetary assault and other ground-side operations. |

|
| The 13th currently serves on active fleet duty with Joint Task Force Rancor and the forces of the Navy of the Iron Throne under the authority of the Grand Master and Dark Council.
| | Founded on the Legionary Combat Team design, each legion was a combined-arms force of infantry, armor, artillery, and air mobility offering unparalleled versatility in any battle space. |
|
| |
|
| ==Organization==
| | The division’s own combat aerospace legion provided air mobility and its subordinate elements were cross-attached to naval vessels throughout the fleet. |
