Unit Description
The VII Corps (or Seventh Corps) was one of the first corps organized at the foundation of the Star League Defense Force. Prior to the collapse of the Star League it consisted of 6 divisions and 7 independent regiments.[1]
History
In 2764 the Seventh Corps was part of the 8th Army, assigned to the First District of the Free Worlds League Military Region. However, in 2765 an uprising occurred in the Periphery, requiring a large portion of the SLDF mobilized to put down the rebellion. The Seventh's units were moved into the Second Destrict, filling in gaps left by other units sent to the fighting. However, the uprising had all been an elaborate plot by Stefan Amaris to accomplish his conquest of the Terran Hegemony.
The Seventh would take part in Aleksandr Kerensky's campaign to reconquer the Terran Hegemony from Amaris, but in the process suffered heavy losses. Of those units which survived, only three would join Kerensky's Operation Exodus, with the rest disbanding or joining other military forces.
