Unit Description
The XIX Corps (or Nineteenth Corps) was a corps of the Star League Defense Force. Prior to the collapse of the Star League it consisted of 6 divisions and 7 independent regiments.[1]
History
In 2764 the Nineteenth Corps was part of the 8th Army, assigned to the First District of the Free Worlds League Military Region. However, in 2765 an uprising occurred in the Periphery, requiring a large portion of the SLDF mobilized to put down the rebellion. The Ninteenth's units were moved into the Second Destrict, filling in gaps left by other units sent to the fighting. However, the uprising had all been an elaborate plot by Stefan Amaris to accomplish his conquest of the Terran Hegemony.
The Ninteenth would take part in Aleksandr Kerensky's campaign to reconquer the Terran Hegemony from Amaris, but was nearly destroyed in the fighting. Only one unit, the 131st, would survive to take part in Kerensky's Operation Exodus.
