==History==
In [[2764]] XIII Corps was part of the [[10th Army (Star League)|10th Army]], assigned to District 3 of the [[Free Worlds League Military Region]]. Their specific operations area covered the Free Worlds League's border with the Capellan Confederation and the [[Duchy of Andurien]]. The Thirteenth was headquartered on [[Cirebon]] in the Duchy, and they were frequently required to participate in peacekeeping operations between the Confederation and the Duchy. Despite this, they were able to do the job and frequently coordinated exercises with [[IV Corps (Star League)|IV]] and [[LII Corps (Star League)|LII Corps]], two units that would work alongside the Thirteenth in case of a major conflict between the League and the Confederation.<ref name=fmsldfp128>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 128</ref>

In [[2764]] XIII Corps was part of the [[10th Army (Star League)|10th Army]], assigned to District 3 of the [[Free Worlds League Military Region]]. When the simmering violence and rebellion building in the [[Periphery]] erupted with the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]] and subsequent Periphery-wide uprising in [[2765]] XIII Corps was deployed into the [[Periphery Military Region]] along with the rest of the 10th Army.<ref name="SLp143"/>

The resulting combat and terrorist actions within the Periphery Military Region effectively destroyed XIII Corps; all four divisions were destroyed, and one of the two independent regiments, the [[237th Hussar Regiment]], defected and joined the rebels. By [[2766]] only one independent regiment remained as a coherent fighting unit within XIII Corps, the [[11th Dragoon Regiment]].<ref name="SLp143"/>
