Unit Description
XXXVI Corps (or the Thirty-Sixth Corps) was one of the seventy-two Corps that made up the Star League Defense Force. Prior to the collapse of the Star League XXXVI Corps was a large corps consisting of 9 divisions and 1 independent regiment.[1]
History
In 2764 XXXVI Corps was part of the 16th Army assigned to District 3 of the Draconis Combine 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 XXXVI Corps was deployed into into the Periphery Military Region along with the rest of the 16th Army.[1]
XXXVI Corps took heavy casualties during the Periphery Uprising losing four divisions outright, while the Thorin Division was so heavily damaged that it had to be disbanded, leaving XXXVI Corps without a BattleMech division. The Periphery also claimed the only independent regiment in XXXVI Corps, the 40th Dragoon Regiment. The Hegemony Campaign was no kinder; all three remaining mechanized infantry divisions were lost, leaving the 59th Jump Infantry Division as the sole surviving unit of XXXVI Corps.[1]
The 59th chose to follow General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus in 2784.[1]
