==Unit Description==
The II Corps was a military [[Brigade|brigade]] command consisting of multiple-regiment forces used to defend [[Taurian Concordat]].

Due to the Taurian Concordat's long standing hatred of [[House Davion]], the defenders of the [[Federated Suns]]/Concordat border, the   II Corps is among the most steadfast and celebrated of units within the [[Taurian Defense Force|TDF]].

==History==
===2765===
After the [[Reunification War]] II Corps was rebuilt by expanding on the Hyades Special Services regiments that had originally formed as part of the [[Taurian Guards Corps]]. The regiments were highly skilled in combined arms, and typically integrated militia armor and infantry assets into their order of battle. For rapid redeployment to counter Federated Suns incursions, a ''[[Concordat]]''-class [[WarShip]] was assigned to each regiment along with the standard [[JumpShip]]s. This allowed the regiments of II Corps to quickly smash the pirate forces they found along the Federated Suns border.<ref name=frp2765p24>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 24</ref>

===3060s===
Elements of the Brigade were deployed to loaned to the [[Trinity Alliance]] partner, the [[Capellan Confederation]] for [[Capellan-St. Ives Civil War|their war]] against the [[St. Ives Compact]].  Forces deployed there were devastated in the conflict.<ref>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 50 Esprit De Corps - II Corp, regiment units was mauled in St. Ives, nearly disbanding the brigade.</ref>

In [[3066]], Hyades Light Infantry, along with other Corps were deployed to the FedSuns' [[Pleiades Cluster]] after the discovery of a route through the Cluster allowed for an assault against [[Taurus]].  The task force invading the Cluster initially took control of most of its worlds. However a powerful counterattack at direction [[Capellan March]] Lord, Duke [[George Hasek II|George Hasek]] devastated the II Corp last combat regiment, the Hyades Light Infantry.<ref>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 68</ref> Survivors were absorbed into the Taurian Guards.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', pp. 192-193 The Pleiades Crusade/Taurian Guards - II Corp unit devastated after ad hoc invasion of FedSuns.</ref>
