Unit Description

XXVI Corps (or the Twenty-Sixth Corps) was one of the seventy-two Corps that made up the Star League Defense Force. XXVI Corps was one of the smaller Corps; prior to the collapse of the Star League it consisted of 4 divisions and 3 independent regiments. [1]

History

In 2764 XXVI Corps was part of the 10th Army, assigned to District 3 of the Free Worlds League 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 XXVI Corps was deployed into the Periphery Military Region along with the rest of the 10th Army.[1]

The resulting combat and terrorist actions within the Periphery Military Region inflicted significant damage on XXVI Corps, with the 372nd BattleMech Division lost in action along with the 75th Light Horse. XXVI Corps went on to fight in the Hegemony Campaign, losing the 190th Jump Infantry Division during the 22-year conflict.[1]

The bulk of the surviving combat units within XXVI Corps followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus, with the exception of the 9th Royal CAAN Marine Regiment; the final fate of the 9th is unknown, with no record of the unit after the Periphery Uprising.[1]
