Parent Command Star League Defense Force

The Star League Defense Force's Nineteenth Army was assigned to operations within the Taurian Concordat Region of the Periphery Military Region.[1]

History[edit]

The Nineteenth Army had been operating on close to an actual war footing for some years prior to the Periphery Uprising due to the Concordat's tendency to be a hotbed for trouble within the Periphery. Consistently facing an ongoing low-level insurrection and an antagonistic civil population,[2] the Nineteenth was better prepared than many for the explosion of violence that heralded the beginning of the Uprising; the Nineteenth chose to withdraw from some conflict zones while contesting others, and the presence of General Aleksandr Kerensky in the Nineteenth's midst kept morale high, even though the Nineteenth had taken substantial losses by mid-2767. Of the twenty-one divisions and thirty independent regiments that formed the Nineteenth on paper, by the time of the 2767 ceasefire ten divisions and eleven regiments had been destroyed or disbanded.[3]
