The Star League Defense Forces 1st Army was assigned to operations within the Terran Military Region.[1]
History
In 2764 the First Army was the sole force assigned to guard the Terran Hegemony, with their headquarters on Terra and Mars. In response to the New Vandenberg Uprising of 2765, X Corps and XXI Corps were reassigned to other regions as part of the military response. To fill in the gap left by their absence, units of the Rim Worlds Republic Military were brought in to replace the reassigned units. However, this had been part of an elaborate plot by Stefan Amaris to overthrow House Cameron and assume control of the Star League, and on December 26, 2766, he launched his surprise attack. Nearly the entire I Corps was destroyed in the opening hours of the coup; many units were wiped out through nuclear bombardment, though a few would survive for the next few years as guerrilla fighters. The rest of First Army, stationed outside the Terran region, would take part in its reconquest from Amaris, though at great loss of life. Of the initial 25 divisions and regiments assigned to the First Army, 13 would survive to 2784, with 7 of them joining Operation Exodus and the rest either disbanding or joining other Great House armies.[1][2]
