==History==
 
==History==
In [[2764]] XXXV Corps was part of the [[15th Army (Star League)|15th Army]], assigned to District 2 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]]. The XXXV Corps' component commands were assigned to garrison worlds in the logistical chain from [[Terra]] to the [[SLDF]] Armies closer towards the Draconis Combine's Periphery border. Given the vast amount of space the XXXV Corps had to cover, it was permanently assigned a reconnaissance squadron from the SLDF Naval Command. The XXXV Corps established its headquarters on [[Isesaki]]. The main supply depot and munitions transfer point garrisoned by XXXV Corps, however, was the [[Midway]] star system. The XXXV Corps was fortunate in that resupply orders were filled quickly. This was a side effect of the XXXV Corps' duties to protect the main shipping routes to the units stationed in the Draconis Combine Military Region's Third District.<ref name=fmsldf184/>

In [[2764]] XXXV Corps was part of the [[15th Army (Star League)|15th Army]], assigned to District 2 of the [[Draconis Combine Military Region]]. When the simmering violence and rebellion building in the [[Periphery]] erupted with the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]] and subsequent Periphery-wide uprising in [[2765]] XXXV Corps was deployed into into the [[Periphery Military Region]] along with the rest of the 15th Army.<ref name="SLp148"/>
 
 
The XXXV Corps was commanded by [[Major General]] Farzad Ahmad in [[2765]]. Shortly after he took command, he reassigned the units under his command to new garrison posts. This met with considerable grumbling as several of the units had been garrisoning their previous posts for decades.<ref name=fmsldf184/>

XXXV Corps took heavy losses in the Periphery Uprising; the Corps lost three full mechanized infantry divisions, the 155th, 160th and 243rd, along with the 119th Jump Infantry Division. The [[Hegemony Campaign]] inflicted relatively light losses on XXXV Corps by comparison; the 167th Mechanized Infantry Division was lost, along with the independent 291st Dragoon Regiment, but the remainder of the Corps survived intact... with the possible exception of the Mantuffel Division, which vanished from records sometime after the Periphery Uprising.<ref name="SLp148"/>

The majority of XXXV Corps followed [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]] in [[2784]]. The one possible exception to this is the Superstition Division, who are known to have survived the Hegemony Campaign but whose final fate is unknown.<ref name="SLp148"/>
