Overview
The Star League Defense Forces 12th Army was assigned to operations within the Lyran Commonwealth Military Region.[1]
History
The Headquarters of the 12th Army was located from Deia, from which the 12th Army was deployed throughout the border region between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Rim Worlds Republic. As a result of this assignment, the 12th saw a lot of action during the Third Hidden War while engaged in "bandit hunting".[2]
When the Periphery Uprising demanded the deployment of additional SLDF forces into the Periphery, the 12th was one of the Armies selected to move as reinforcements, due to how quiet the border with the Rim Worlds Republic appeared to be. The 12th deployed into the Magistracy of Canopus and spent two years engaged in operations there; the 12th took relatively moderate damage during the Periphery campaign, losing six Divisions and an Independent Regiment to combat losses and a seventh Division to disbandment, but the bulk of these casualties were concentrated within XLII Corps. As a result, XLII Corps was subsequently merged with II Corps, reducing the 12th Army to a three-Corps formation.[2]
Officers
In 2765 the Commanding Officer of the 12th Army was General Eliud Felischhauer.[2]
