| In [[26 ABY to Present|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]]. | | 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.

The Army of the Iron Throne was the command authority for all ground forces in service to the Armed Forces of the Iron Throne. The primary organizational element under the Army was the 13th Starborne Division which served as the instrument of the Dark Council and Grand Master when ground-side combat operations were required. It was a light, yet lethal force designed to meet and overcome the threats and challenges presented in a hostile galactic environment.
The division consisted of approximately 211 armored vehicles, supporting equipment and some 20,000 personnel.
History
In 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 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 Yuuzhan Vong.
The 13th served 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.
