History
Commanded by the Army Headquarters on Sadurni, the 6th Army was one of two light Armies within the SLDF; both the 6th and its sister Army, the 7th Army, were structured as light Armies with just three corps, a reflection of the densely-packed but relatively small area of space covered by the Capellan Confederation compared to the other Star League member states.[2]
The 6th Army was responsible for the border between the Capellan Confederation and the Federated Suns, and had been forced to sit by and watch as the two states fought a border war from 2760 until 2762. That inaction changed when the Periphery Uprising began, with both the 6th and 7th Armies being called forward as reinforcements for the battered SLDF Armies within the Periphery. Both the 6th and 7th Armies were deployed into the Taurian Concordat, with the 6th responsible for spearheading the various SLDF assaults in the anti-spinward region of the Concordat. The 6th Army lost seven Divisions in combat with an eighth disbanded; this represented more than half the combat strength of the 6th Army, with XXXVIII Corps effectively destroyed as a formation and LXIII Corps taking significant losses.[2]
Officers
In 2765 the Commanding Officer of the 6th Army was General Janeth Apostolaki.[2]
