Unit Description
LI Corps (or the Fifty-First Corps) was one of the seventy-two Corps that made up the Star League Defense Force. LI Corps was a larger Corps; prior to the collapse of the Star League it consisted of 6 divisions and 4 independent regiments. [1]
History
In 2764 LI Corps was part of the 10th Army, assigned to District 1 of the Lyran Commonwealth 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 LI Corps was deployed into District 2 of the LCMR, along with XLIX Corps and elements of XXVII Corps, to backfill for units deployed into the Periphery Military Region.[1]
LI Corps took heavy damage in the gruelling Hegemony Campaign, losing two-thirds of the Corps' effective combat strength. Only two of the six divisions survived: the George S. Patton Division and the 27th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division, and only one of the independent regiments, the 59th Royal Light Horse.[1]
When General Aleksandr Kerensky led the bulk of the surviving SLDF on the Exodus all of the surviving elements of LI Corps followed him.[1]
