==History==
 
==History==
In [[2764]] XXVII Corps was part of the [[11th Army (Star League)|11th Army]], assigned to District 1 of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Military Region]]. This region was relatively calm and stable, but the subordinate commands of the XXVII Corps were often used as reinforcements for active conflicts. These redeployments, along with participation in extensive training exercises like [[Operation KOBALD]], allowed the Twenty-seventh Corps units to retain their high skill levels.<ref name=FMSLDFp140>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 140</ref>

In [[2764]] XXVII Corps was part of the [[11th Army (Star League)|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]] XXVII Corps was deployed into Districts 2 and 3 of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Military Region|LCMR]], along with the rest of the 11th Army, to backfill for units deployed into the [[Periphery Military Region]].<ref name="SLp144"/>

XXVII Corps fought in the twelve-year [[Hegemony Campaign]], losing four divisions in combat - the 3rd Infantry, 55th Mechanized Infantry, 92nd Jump Infantry and the 413th [[BattleMech]] - along with three of the independent regiments. The Corps also lost the Michigan 61st to disbandment after it suffered heavy losses.<ref name="SLp144"/>
 
 
 
Of the units that survived the campaign, the 129th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 188th Royal Independent Aero Wing followed [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]]. The 346th Heavy Tank Regiment, an intact sub-unit of the disbanded Michigan 61st, joined the [[Free Worlds League]] rather than join the Exodus. Of the two surviving regiments that had been independent regiments within XXVII Corps, the 23rd Heavy Assault Regiment chose to join the [[Federated Suns]], while the 11th Royal Heavy Assault Regiment was one of the very few [[Star League Defense Force Royal Divisions|SLDF Royal units]] to remain in the [[Inner Sphere]], signing on with the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].<ref name="SLp144"/>
