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<sup>th</sup> 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<sup>th</sup> Royal Mechanized Infantry Division and the bulk of the 147<sup>th</sup> Mechanized Infantry Division followed Kerensky, although elements of the 147<sup>th</sup> joined the [[Capellan Confederation]]. The 74<sup>th</sup> Royal Dragoon Regiment was the only independent unit within LXVIII Corps to join the Exodus; the remaining independent units remained behind, with the 199<sup>th</sup> Light Horse regiment joining the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the 258<sup>th</sup> Hussar Regiment joining the [[Capellan Confederation]] and both the 361<sup>st</sup> Dragoon Regiment and the 963<sup>rd</sup> Independent Aero Wing joining the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name="SLp156"/>
