In [[2764]], the Thirty-fifth was assigned to [[LVI Corps (Star League)|LVI Corps]], a part of the [[19th Army (Star League)|Nineteenth Army]], and was stationed on [[Laconis]] in the [[Periphery Military Region]]. At the time, the world was undergoing a massive influx of immigrants. Unlike most SLDF units in the [[Taurian Concordat]], the Thirty-fifth had a positive reputation after its commanding officer assigned her engineering, combat, and support units to help the planetary government rebuild the capital city after a hurricane destroyed it in [[2759]].<ref name=fmsldf225/>
