When the simmering violence and rebellion building in the [[Periphery]] erupted with the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]] and subsequent Periphery-wide uprising in [[2765]] XLV Corps were swept up in the violence along with the rest of the 18th Army.<ref name="SLp156"/>

XLV Corps was badly mauled during the Periphery conflict, with four divisions, four independent regiments and the independent aero wing all destroyed during [[2765]]. In addition to those units destroyed in 2765, the 247<sup>th</sup> Heavy Assault Regiment took heavy losses, and was disbanded in [[2766]].<ref name="SLp156"/>

By the end of the [[Hegemony Campaign]] XLV Corps was a shadow of its former self; the Flanders Division had been disbanded due to heavy losses, while the Democrats of Brazil had been destroyed along with the 150<sup>th</sup> Hussar Regiment and the 587<sup>th</sup> Heavy Assault Regiment. While it's known that the Tobruk Division survived the campaign, the final fate of the division is unknown. Two of the surviving independent regiments, the 279<sup>th</sup> Light Horse and the 128<sup>th</sup> Hussar followed [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] when he led the bulk of the [[Star League Defense Force|SLDF]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]] in [[2784]]. The third surviving regiment, the 396<sup>th</sup>, remained in the [[Inner Sphere]] and joined the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name="SLp156"/>
