In 2764 the 183rd Royal was a part of XLVII Corps within the Twentieth Army and was assigned to the Periphery Military Region. The 183rd Royal was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery in response to the Periphery Uprising in 2765.[3] The 183rd survived the war and the Hegemony Campaign, and followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[3]
