The Star League Defense Forces 9th Army was assigned to operations within the Free Worlds League Military Region.[1]

History

In 2764 the Ninth Army was assigned to the Second District of the Free Worlds League region, with their headquarters on Chalouba. However, in response to the New Vandenberg Uprising of 2765, the entire army was redeployed to the Periphery to fight against the rebellion. Many of the Ninth's units were destroyed in the fighting, which had been secretly orchestrated by Stefan Amaris to accomplish his takeover of the Terran Hegemony. The remnants of the Ninth Army would fight in the resulting Hegemony Campaign and suffer heavy casualties by the time Terra was liberated. Of the few units which would survive to 2784, 9 would join Operation Exodus, with the rest either disbanding or joining other Great House armies.

Notes

The designation for the XVIII Corps is used twice in The Star League sourcebook, once for a Corps within the 9th Army, and once for a Corps within the 17th Army. This is most likely a typo or error, as the units forming the two Corps are different.[1][2]
