Unit Description
XXXII Corps (or the Thirty-Second Corps) was one of the seventy-two Corps that made up the Star League Defense Force. XXXII Corps was a large Corps; prior to the collapse of the Star League it consisted of 7 divisions, 4 independent regiments and an independent aero wing.[1]
History
In 2764 XXXII Corps was part of the 14th Army, assigned to District 1 of the Draconis Combine Military Region; despite being a large Corps, it was the smallest Corps within the 14th Army. When the simmering violence and rebellion building in the Periphery erupted with the New Vandenberg Uprising and subsequent Periphery-wide uprising in 2765 XXXII Corps was deployed into Districts 2 and 3 of the DCMR, along with the rest of the 14th Army, to backfill for units deployed into the Periphery Military Region.[1]
The 12-year long Hegemony Campaign inflicted heavy losses on XXXII Corps; five of the seven divisions within the Corps were destroyed, along with two of the four independent regiments and the independent aero wing, leaving the Corps operating at less than a third of its pre-war combat strength.[1]
When General Aleksandr Kerensky led the bulk of the surviving SLDF on the Exodus, the majority of the units within XXXII Corps followed him; only the 3rd French Infantry Regiment chose to remain behind, joining the Capellan Confederation[1]
