98th Imperial Infantry Division

The 98th Imperial Infantry Division (otherwise known as the 98th), is one of the primary infantry divisions of the Galactic Empire’s Imperial Army. One of 2 founding member states of the Humanity First Coalition, the 98th maintains positive relations with a number of other clans, including USCM.
== Background ==
Given the unique operational situation of the unit, the internal structure of the 98th is oddly unlike any other Imperial Army division, with an emphasis placed on decentralized command. Composed of conscripts and patriotic citizens recruited throughout the Empire, troopers in the 98th bring a wide array of experience to the table. Thus, the combat capability of 98th troopers varies, with some fresh recruits having only received a few weeks of drop camp before being shipped off to the frontlines on Mimban, while others are hardened veterans who have seen and fought in the worst of the Clone Wars. Regardless of how experienced a new recruit is, those who survive their first tour on Mimban learn quickly. 
With a large chunk of the Empire's military budget going to the Navy, the average grunts on the ground have to make do. As such, the 98th's arsenal is mainly comprised of repurposed Republic-era tech and weaponry, though is slowly being phased out by newer Imperial equipment produced under the Tarkin Doctrine.

In the days following USCM's 13th Anniversary, the 98th donated $2836 (USD) to St. Jude's Children's Hospital, with the combined donations of VAK, 98th, 3ND and USCM totaling nearly $5000.
