The Star League Defense Forces 7th Army was assigned to operations within the Capellan Confederation Military Region.[1]

History
Commanded by the Army Headquarters on Sadurni, the 7th Army was one of two light Armies within the SLDF; both the 7th and its sister Army, the 6th 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 7th Army saw little combat during the Star League era, being responsible for the Confederation's border with the Free Worlds League; that 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. The 7th expected to be deployed into the Magistracy of Canopus, but instead found itself being deployed into the Taurian Concordat alongside the 6th Army; the resulting campaign would see the 7th lose five Divisions and an Independent Regiment in combat, with a sixth Division subsequently being disbanded. While this damage was relatively moderate compared to the overall size of the 7th Army, the bulk of the casualties were inflicted on LVIII Corps, which was effectively destroyed.[2]
Officers
In 2765 the Commanding Officer of the 7th Army was General Nguyen Huong.[2]
