==History==
In [[2764]] XLII Corps was part of the [[12th Army (Star League)|12th Army]], assigned to District 2 of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Military Region]]. While deployed there, they protected the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] from the [[Rim Worlds League]], [[Draconis Combine]], and independent [[Periphery]] forces. The Forty-second deployed their forces so that a brigade was stationed on a division's base world, while the rest of the division's forces operated in regimental sized formations. This allowed them to respond quickly to any enemy action.<ref name=FMSLDFp152>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 152</ref>

XLI Corps took very heavy losses in the Periphery Uprising and by [[2766]] had been reduced to a quarter of the original combat strength of the Corps. The surviving elements of the much-reduced XLII Corps then fought through the [[Hegemony Campaign]], surviving to see the end of the conflict.<ref name="SLp145"/>
