Lieutenant General '''Helmut La Rou''' was XO of the [[Star League Defense Force]]'s [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] as of [[2764]].<ref name=FMSLDF>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 158</ref>

==History==
A native of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], and rising star within the SLDF, as of 2764 La Rou was basically performing the job of his disengaged commander [[Major General]] [[Aja Brynn]]. As at that stage Brynn's retirement was expected with 2 years, La Rou was already seeking to rebuild the [[Corps]]' command staff in his own image, as well as reaching out to various [[Star League]] academies in order to obtain the services of talented young officers. Another strategy employed by La Rou was setting up the [[Nineteenth Hussar Regiment]] as an advanced cadre unit, which he hoped to use to lift the capabilities of the Corps as a whole if he formally assumes command of the VI Corps.

This attempt to renew the Corps' senior officers was however a struggle, as the existing crop were long associates of Major General Brynn, yes-men also approaching the end of their careers.<ref name=FMSLDF></ref>
