	In [[2764]] LXVIII Corps was part of the [[18th Army (Star League)|18th Army]] assigned to the [[Outworlds Alliance]] [[Territorial State]]. Garrisoning three of the Outworlds' outer rim provinces, the Corps faced multiple unique challenges. The three provinces were only recently settled, and a lot of the infrastructure found in other older colonies and systems was missing. The Sixty-Eighth Corps' component units provided security for the [[Department of Mega-Engineering]] detachments that were terraforming those new systems. The Corps headquarters was established on [[Baliggora]].<ref name=fmsldfp216>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 216</ref>		In [[2764]] LXVIII Corps was part of the [[18th Army (Star League)|18th Army]] assigned to the [[Outworlds Alliance]] [[Territorial State]].

The Swamp Fox Division took heavy enough losses in the conflict that by [[2766]] the division had been disbanded.<ref name="SLp156"/> Compared to the damage inflicted on LXVIII Corps during the Periphery Uprising, the [[Hegemony Campaign]] inflicted relatively light losses with the Black Watch Division and the 205^th Light Horse Regiment ultimately being disbanded as a result of heavy casualties but no other units lost. When [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] led the bulk of the [[Star League Defense Force|SLDF]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]] the larger units in LXVIII Corps followed. The Yorii Division, the 157^th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division and the bulk of the 147^th Mechanized Infantry Division followed Kerensky, although elements of the 147^th joined the [[Capellan Confederation]]. The 74^th Royal Dragoon Regiment was the only independent unit within LXVIII Corps to join the Exodus; the remaining independent units remained behind, with the 199^th Light Horse regiment joining the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the 258^th Hussar Regiment joining the [[Capellan Confederation]] and both the 361^st Dragoon Regiment and the 963^rd Independent Aero Wing joining the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name="SLp156"/> The fate of two of the independent regiments within LXVIII Corps is currently unknown; both the 89^th Dragoon Regiment and the 231^st Striker Regiment are known to have survived the Hegemony Campaign, but nothing more is known.<ref name="SLp156"/> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the LXVIII Corps''' |- |} ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Composition History== ===2764=== :'''Divisions''' :* [[315th BattleMech Division]]<ref name=fmsldfp217>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 217</ref> :* [[318th BattleMech Division]]<ref name=fmsldfp217/> :* [[48th Infantry Division]]<ref name=fmsldfp217/> :* [[135th Mechanized Infantry Division]]<ref name=fmsldfp217/> :* [[147th Mechanized Infantry Division]]<ref name=fmsldfp217/> :* [[149th Mechanized Infantry Division]]<ref name=fmsldfp217/> :* [[157th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division]]<ref name=fmsldfp217/> :'''Independent Regiments''' :* [[199th Light Horse Regiment]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> :* [[200th Royal Light Horse Regiment]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> :* [[205th Light Horse Regiment]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> :* [[258th Hussar Regiment]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> :* [[74th Royal Dragoon Regiment]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> :* [[89th Dragoon Regiment]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> :* [[361st Dragoon Regiment]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> :* [[228th Striker Regiment]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> :* [[231st Striker Regiment]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> :* [[963rd Independent Aero Wing]]<ref name=fmsldfp216/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[The Star League]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: SLDF]]'' [[Category:Star League Defense Force Corps|Corps, 0068th]]
