101st Avalanche Division

They are the UGI's frozen enviroment specialist. They perform in the most desolate and frozen terrains. Trained to endure frigid tempatures and icy conditions.
==History==
The 101st Avalanche Division was first created on New Taiidan; which was nothing more then a barren wasteland of snow and ice. These soldiers trained to become experts at survival in the wastelands. Their first deployment as a full unit was to the ice world Asagrio where they built a military base as their headquarters. Problem with Asagrio wasn't in UGI territory but due to its in hospitable climate it wasn't challenged. When they moved to deep inside of Federation space by building a underground base on the planet of Delta Vega; entirely without the Federation learning of this; they had comms arrays built and were shielded from scanners. 
Their first action as a unit where they were in combat was on the frigid world known as Horas where they fought unknowingly the GDI; this wasn't as act of aggression they heard weapons fire as one of the GDI soldiers was defending from wild animal from the planet; but when it struck Sergeant Yorka in the shoulder burning half of his shoulder off the 101st went into action and after six hours of stalemate fighting both sides low on ammunition were notified that they were attacking allies. Both the GDI and the UGI swept the incident under the rug as Horas was soo cold it malfunctioned both sides equipment and were essentially fighting blind. However as unbelievable as it was there virtually no fatalities in six hours of fighting but there hundreds of wounded. 
Both units after the fighting later would be seen drinking together telling their experiences of facing the enemy also known as the UGI or the GDI. This came to show what many GDI soldiers thought of the UGI were they would hold grudges but in reality they were very friendly. One GDI Captain was shocked at the level of disipline later of one of the UGI soldiers who was standing guard at the waystation on Delta Vega in tempatures of -200 degrees celsius and he stood guard for his 16 hour firewatch. The GDI would later have the UGI train their "Winter Soldiers" to withstand the tempatures but it was also somewhat in vain as they didn't have the implants that kept their blood from crystallizing. But they could withstand the temperatures just not the period of time until the GDI made a deal for the implants.Category:UGI Military Units
