What about Armoured Inf... aka Grenadier.. which is infantry unit intergrated with armor.
Lift Inf is just Mech Inf with G-carriers....

AI could also be Assault or Armored Interface.
Armored Infantry is a possibility but Traveller generally leans toward US Army practice and I think the Armoured Infantry and Grenadier types are usually equivalent to Mechanized Infantry.
We could speculate for days without knowing what the designers were thinking.

"Assault Infantry" is the best guess I've seen yet. I did send an email this morning to John Astell, who appears to be still designing games. We'll see . . . given the time it's probably a long shot, but who knows?
Given the Solomani problems with reliable grav tech, and the theory that there was a transitory period from ground vehicles to air-cushion vehicles to grav vehicles, the Solomani probably had air-cushion vehicles for a longer period of time.
Long enough to have units with the AI designation.
No? Yes?
Airmobile Infantry sounds good to me.

Fleet Details
The only fleet details I have found outside of what is in Fighting Ships of the Solomani Confederation are as follows:
Imperial Navy Task Force 54: At the outbreak of the Rim War the task force was escorting a humanitarian supply convoy to Muan Kwoyen. it was caught by surprise and annihilated by elements of the Solomani 2nd Fleet (MT:SR p 9).
Imperial Task Force 212: Ambushed by the Confederation Strike Force Daring at the Battle of Kagukhasaggan 2 in early 1002 (MT:S p 70).
Imperial 17th Fleet: Late in the war, the 17th was advancing toward Terra when the Confederation Grand Fleet met the 17th's advance guard at Agidda and inflicted a major defeat. However, the 17th regrouped more quickly than Wolfe anticipated and arrived at the Battle of Dingir just in time to turn the tide in favor of the Imperium (CT:S p 11, GT:RoF p 59, MT:S p 70)
Imperial 1st Fleet: Late in the war, the 1st Fleet was striking from Vega toward Dingir. Following the victory at Agidda, the Confederation Grand Fleet moved to Dingir, hoping to defeat the 1st Fleet there. However the timely arrival of the Imperial 17th Fleet changed the course of the battle in favor of the Imperial forces. (CT:S p 11, GT:RoF p 59, MT:S p 70)
Solomani 2nd Fleet: Annihilated Imperial Task Force 54 at the outbreak of the Rim War (MT:SR p 9).
Solomani 46th Fleet: Stationed in Alpha Crucis in 1001 when an Imperial cruiser squadron slipped past the 46th and bombarded Kedin in Ximenes subsector, triggering a catastrophe that killed 20 million civilians (MT:S p 127). In 1002 the over-stretched 46th was consolidating its fleets for a defense of Cthonia in Orichalc subsector when the armistice was declared.
Solomani 69th Fleet: Stationed in Alpha Crucis in 1001 when an Imperial cruiser squadron slipped past the 69th and bombarded Kedin in Ximenes subsector, triggering a catastrophe that killed 20 million civilians (MT:S p 127). The 69th was subsequently destroyed in scattered engagements in McKenzie subsector (MT:S p 128).
Solomani Strike Force Daring: Led by the dreadnought Retaliation, ambushed an Imperial task force built around the fleet intruder Bard Endeavour in the Kagukhasaggan system in early 1002. The strike force drove off the Imperial force and destroyed the Bard Endeavor (CT Azhanti High Lightning p 27, CT Library Data N-Z p 21, MT:S p 70).
Solomani Grand Fleet: Formed in 1002 by consolidating Confederation naval assets in the Rim under Ivan Wolfe.Despite early successes defeated and forced to retreat after the Battle of Dingir. (CT:S p 11, MT:SR p 10, GT:RoF p 59, MT:S p 70)
Interesting that the two Mongoose books describe numbered Solomani fleets -- 2nd, 46th, 69th. Meanwhile the T20 book breaks the Diaspora fleet into Task Forces named after the commanding admiral -- Wolfe, Onjou, Koniev, Tiajama. I don't think the different schemes are incompatible. The Confederation may regularly maintain numbered fleets that can be broken up into mission specific task forces as needed.
The FSSC states that "For multiple operations within a sector, temporary command headquarters called 'Task Forces' are created on an ad hoc basis . . . One Task Force would be created for each task" (p 5); and "The squadron organizations [of the Diaspora Fleet of 990] are each part of a larger 'Fleet,' called in Solomani parlance 'Task Forces.' Task forces are usually named after the commanding Admiral or Commodore" (p 7).
The Mongoose Solomani Rim book notes that "The [Solomani Rim Sector] fleet [of 1105] is currently divided between Jardin, Capella, Gemini and Kukulcan subsector fleets, although this is a peacetime organisation. The Jardin fleet is significantly smaller then the others. In time of war, the sector fleet is reorganised into ad-hoc task forces" (p 30).

So John Astell himself was gracious enough to weigh in -- and he was able to illuminate several of the mystery Solomani units:
| Unit | Best Guess | John’s Response |
| LG Planetary Defense Corps | assigned to La Grange Starport in Australia | LG = La Grange |
| AECO Planetary Defense Corps | assigned to North African Starport | AECO = Arab-European Cooperative Organization |
| SP Planetary Defense Corps | assigned to Mesa-Phoenix starport in North America | SP = Starport Phoenix, if I recall correctly |
| 1st Lt Planetary Defense Regiment | Lt=Light? | Lt = Light |
| 2nd Lt Planetary Defense Regiment | Lt=Light? | Lt = Light |
| 3rd Lt Planetary Defense Regiment | Lt=Light? | Lt = Light |
| 4th Lt Planetary Defense Regiment | Lt=Light? | Lt = Light |
| NA Lift Infantry Field Army | NA=North American? | NA = North American |
| SA Lift Infantry Field Army | SA=South American? | SA = South American |
| AF Lift Infantry Field Army | AF=African? | AF = African |
| AS Lift Infantry Field Army | AS=Eurasia? | AS = Asian |
| ARM Lift Infantry Corps | ARM? | ARM = Associated Regional Militia, if I recall correctly, in tribute to Larry Niven’s Gil the Arm stories in which ARM meant Amalgamated Regional Militia |
| AL Lift Infantry Corps | AL? | Don’t remember. I’ll keep thinking about this one. |
| 36 M Armored Lift Infantry Corps | M? | Not sure. Possibly 36 M is a reference to the Soviet 36th Motor Rifle Division, with the idea that the unit evolved, got disbanded, reformed, etc., over time. I’ll keep thinking about this one. |
| 16 H Grav Cavalry Corps | H=Heavy? | H likely means Heavy but could also mean Hussars. I’ll keep thinking about this one. |
| Calg Armored Lift Infantry Division | Calg=Calgary, named for the RCAC? | Calg = Calgary. I would imagine it would trace back to the King’s Own Calgary Regiment of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, but I’m not certain if we were that specific when we made the game. |
| VN Armored Lift Infantry Division | VN=Volunteer? | Not sure. I’ll keep thinking about this one. |
| 3rd Cent Lift Infantry Division | cent? | Cent = Centauri, if I recall correctly |
| 6th Cent Lift Infantry Division | cent? | Cent = Centauri, if I recall correctly |
| 8th L Grav Cavalry Division | L = light? | L = Light |
| 12th L Grav Cavalry Division | L = light? | L = Light |
| LE Lift Infantry Division | LE? | LE = Légion Étrangère (French for Foreign Legion), with the assumption that the French Foreign Legion evolved and survived in some form to the Invasion Earth period. |
| 1st SG Grav Tank Regiment | SG=Solomani Guards? | SG = Solomani Guards |
| 2nd SG Grav Tank Regiment | SG=Solomani Guards? | SG = Solomani Guards |
| CSG Armored Grav Cavalry Regiment | CSG? | SG = Solomani Guards. I think the C might mean Consolidated (presuming a history where multiple armored grav cavalry regiments were eventually consolidated into one regiment, somewhat like how various British cavalry regiments were merged in the years between WW1 and WW2). I’ll keep thinking about this one. |
| 5th SG Lift Infantry Regiment | SG=Solomani Guards? | SG = Solomani Guards |
| 1st AI Grav Commando Regiment | AI? | Not sure. I’ll keep thinking about these. |
| 2nd AI Grav Commando Regiment | AI? | Not sure. I’ll keep thinking about these. |
| 3rd SG Armored Lift Infantry Regiment | SG=Solomani Guards? | SG = Solomani Guards |
| 4th SG Armored Lift Infantry Regiment | SG=Solomani Guards? | SG = Solomani Guards |
Brilliant. Thanks for going the extra mile, tracking him down and asking.
Quite funny that the AI designation that gave us so many possibilities is one that's stumping him too.
I like H for Hussars, but then I'm a Napoleonics guys :coffeesip:
Some very interesting pieces of color and background there including the French Foreign Legion.

Hussars are light cavalry ideal for scouting or screening; considering L has been identified as Light, H is likely heavy.

Here are some followup thoughts from John:
AL Lift Infantry Corps - AL?
1st AI Grav Commando Regiment - AI?
2nd AI Grav Commando Regiment - AI?
Possibly Al = Alaskan. Alaska may have been regarded as the last frontier of the United States and attracted “rugged individualists”, creating a tradition that continued to the Invasion: Earth time with commandos and above-average military service.
16 H Grav Cavalry Corps – H=Heavy?
Most likely H = Heavy. I now doubt the Hussars possibility.
VN Armored Lift Infantry Division – VN=Volunteer?
Possibly VN = Vietnamese. There may have been a view that Vietnam’s tradition as a small country defiant of larger ones (China, the US, France) continued in some cultural-military tradition form to the Invasion: Earth time.
36 M Armored Lift Infantry Corps - M?
Still not sure on this one. Possibly 36 M is a reference to the Soviet 36th Motor Rifle Division, with the idea that the unit evolved, got disbanded, reformed, etc., over time.

It could be medium, if it's not a regional name.
Motorized, mechanized, and armoured usually don't mix.

Fighting Ships of the Solomani has a few stray details (pp 7-8) on some ground units, all of which were assigned to Diaspora Sector at the onset of the War:

Bingo. From Signal GK: "The major official Solomani presence on Ochre is a Solomani naval base situated at the starport; the base includes a Solomani Army regiment (the 412th Assault Infantry), a Solomani Navy fighter squadron (the 972nd Strike Fighter Squadron), and several support units" (12).
Based on that, I think the mysterious "AI" in the 1st and 2nd AI Grav Commando regiment is "Assault Infantry."
