XII Corps (Urcea)

The XII Corps is a of the Urcean Royal and Imperial Army. It is a major formation of the Far Western Command and it is currently engaged in occupation duties of Varshan as part of the League of Nations' mission there.

XII Corps was established as part of the reorganization of the army in the decade following the '97 Rising, and included a number of "Legitimist" units involved in that conflict which had been integrated into the army. It saw little action until the onset of the Second Great War, during which time it was deployed to Burgundie in the first months of the war to help defend the country against Derian nationalist forces. During its defensive mission there, the Corps became closely associated with Burgundie and its people, becoming well respected and liked among the Burgoignesc people. This defensive mission made a permanent impact on the character of the Corps, leading to it receiving both its nickname ("Burgoignesc Buddies") as well as its current insignia and badge. When Burgundie requested assistance from Urcea in Operation Kipling, XII Corps was specifically designated for deployment there due to the historic connection between it and the Burgoignesc people.

After Operation Kipling, XII Corps was redeployed to Talionia for a time. Its headquarters remained there until the Assumption Accords, after which time it moved to Southmarch where it would remain until the Final War of the Deluge. As part of Urcea's increased commitment in Crona, XII Corps was redeployed to Quetzenkel, serving in a defensive capacity on the Quetzenkel front. Following Urcean victories elsewhere against Varshan and a general weakening of its military capacity, XII Corps participated in Operation Pullman and the Fall of Anzo. Since participating in the fall of Varshan, XII Corps has been stationed in the country as part of the League of Nations occupation force.
