The Star League Defense Forces Eleventh Army was assigned to operations within the Lyran Commonwealth Military Region.[3]

History[edit]

Deployed along the Lyran Commonwealth/Terran Hegemony border, the Eleventh Army didn't face a great deal of conflict prior to the Periphery Uprising. The small borders shared with the Commonwealth's neighbors (the Draconis Combine and Free Worlds League) combined with its location far away from the Periphery, meant that the Eleventh didn't see much combat. As a result this army was used for units that needed training or to recover from heavy combat. The Eleventh shared a headquarters with Army Group Steiner, ensuring that information needed by the SLDF was available in one place. The Eleventh was also tasked with providing support for the Twelfth and Thirteenth Armies in the event they would be called up to the Periphery border.[4]

The Eleventh Army became responsible for the entire of the Commonwealth when the Twelfth and Thirteenth Armies were deployed into the Periphery in response to the Uprising. The Eleventh Army was already oddly structured for an SLDF Army, being officially constructed along the Standard Defensive Army model but with twice as many Independent Regiments as called for in the model; the structure of the Eleventh changed even further when twenty-nine Regiments from the First Army were redeployed to augment the Eleventh as its area of operations grew with the departure of the Twelfth and Thirteenth.[5]
