Overview

The Periphery Military Region was created to organize all SLDF forces that were located in the Periphery.[1] It corresponded to the borders of the Taurian Concordat, Magistracy of Canopus, Rim Worlds Republic, and Outworlds Alliance. It was further subdivided into a Taurian Military Region, Magistracy Military Region, Rim Worlds Military Region, and Outworlds Military Region, whose borders matched those of the appropriate nation.[2] This meant that unlike the other SLDF Military Regions, there was no division into smaller Districts. Each nation was instead assigned an Army whose general reported to the SLDF High Command.

All SLDF naval assets in the Periphery Military Regions were overseen by a Vice Admiral.[3]

During the Reunification War and prior to the Amaris Civil War, many of the SLDF's units were assigned to the Periphery Military Region. In most cases these units were heavily damaged or destroyed. This damage made them far more vulnerable during the campaign to re-take Terra from Stephan Amaris.
