'''LI Corps''' (or the Fifty-First Corps) was one of the seventy-two Corps that made up the [[Star League Defense Force]]. LI Corps was a larger Corps; prior to the collapse of the [[Star League]] it consisted of 6 [[division|divisions]] and 4 independent [[regiment]]s.<ref name="SLp144">''The Star League'', p. 144</ref>

==History==
In [[2764]] LI Corps was part of the [[10th Army (Star League)|10th Army]], assigned to District 1 of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Military Region]]. They were stationed along the border between the [[Terran Hegemony]] and [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. That region hadn't seen conflict in fifty years and the SLDF High Command didn't expect that to change any time soon. As a result, deployment to the LI Corps was popular with those SLDF personnel with families. As a result, the Corps command staff scheduled extensive wargames to maintain their combat edge.<ref name=fmsldf144>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 144</ref>

When the simmering violence and rebellion building in the [[Periphery]] erupted with the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]] and subsequent Periphery-wide uprising in [[2765]] LI Corps was deployed into District 2 of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Military Region|LCMR]], along with [[XLIX Corps (Star League)|XLIX Corps]] and elements of [[XXVII Corps (Star League)|XXVII Corps]], to backfill for units deployed into the [[Periphery Military Region]].<ref name="SLp144"/>

LI Corps took heavy damage in the grueling [[Hegemony Campaign]], losing two-thirds of the Corps' effective combat strength. Only two of the six divisions survived: the George S. Patton Division and the 27<sup>th</sup> Royal Mechanized Infantry Division, and only one of the independent regiments, the 59<sup>th</sup> Royal Light Horse.<ref name="SLp144"/>

When [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] led the bulk of the surviving [[Star League Defense Force|SLDF]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]] all of the surviving elements of LI Corps followed him.<ref name="SLp144"/>
