Army Group Epsilon was an Army group of the Army of the Syaran Republic during the Siduri War. The Army Group Epsilon was formed in 1935 followed the dissolution of Army Group Delta and served on the Quenminese Front for the duration of it's existence, under the command of Field Marshal Zdravko Merakovski.
Formed from the remains of Army Group Delta, Epsilon was composed of five field armies, three Syaran and two Allamunnic. Fielding a total of 41 divisions, it was the largest and most powerful land force fielded by the Inner Sphere during the conflict. The Army Group's fortunes fluctuated throughout the war, nearly annihilating two Common Axis armies during Operation Rhipsaspia, but suffered crippling losses during Operation Kunai Grass. Epsilon succesfully repulsed the Common Axis from Allamunnika in the fall of 1936, but a second invasion failed in early 1937. A Common Axis invasion of Allamunnika in the late spring of 1937 destroyed the Syaran Fourth Army and Allamunnic Third Army, effectively rendering the Army Group combat ineffective. The Army Group was dissolved following Allamunnika's withdrawal from the Inner Sphere in June 1937.
