The '''IX Corps''' (or Ninth Corps) was a corps of the [[Star League Defense Force]]. Prior to the collapse of the [[Star League]] it consisted of 6 [[division]]s and 2 independent [[regiment]]s.<ref>''The Star League'', p. 150</ref><ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', pp. 48-49</ref>
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
In [[2764]], IX Corps was part of the [[2nd Army (Star League)|Second Army]], assigned to the [[Federated Suns Military Region]]. Stationed along the border between the [[Federated Suns]] and [[Draconis Combine]], the Ninth Corps had been heavily involved in pirate hunting and bandit suppression operations in their area of responsibility. As a result, they were one of the most skilled units in the Second Army. The Ninth Corps was headquartered on [[Schedar]], and their divisions frequently rotated through the SLDF logistical centers at [[Mirach]], [[Schedar]], and [[Elbar]], so they were able to quickly resupply and rearm. In addition, the Ninth Corps ordered its component Divisions to use machines that could accept parts from the Federated Suns. This allowed the units to draw on local sources for supply, and increased the local economy as well.<ref name=FM:SLDFp48>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 48</ref>

However, in [[2765]] an [[New Vandenberg Uprising|uprising]] occurred in the [[Periphery]], requiring the corps' repositioning to fill in gaps left by other units sent to fight. IX Corps's units were redeployed to the Second District, taking the place of [[3rd Army (Star League)|Third Army]] units. However, the uprising had been secretly orchestrated by [[Stefan Amaris]] to accomplish his [[Amaris Civil War|takeover]] of the [[Terran Hegemony]].

IX Corps would take part in [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]'s campaign to retake the Hegemony from Amaris, but in the process suffered heavy fighting. Only three units would survive to join Kerensky in [[Operation Exodus]].<ref name=SLp150/>
