History
Established in 1645 AN as a formation of the Imperial Armed Forces of the Great Jing Dynasty. As a part of the Fourth Field Army it would participate in the invasion of Floria during the War of Lost Brothers. During the Post-Chidao Troubles the Corps remained allied to the Imperial Court as a part of the Gunbatsu Clique. The unpopular union with Cakaristan demoralised the Jingdaoese Community and rendered the Corps ineffective during the Second Kildarian Revolution.
With the reorganisation and restoration of the Dutchy of Kildare at the end of the Decade of Inharmonious Regrets the Corps is listed as a part of the Hondonese Banner Army within the Feudatory Host of Kildare.
