The Arcadia Militia is the small provincial planetary defense force of the world Arcadia in the Lyran Commonwealth.[1]
History[edit]
During the Free Worlds League's attack on Arcadia in September 3068, a lance from the mercenary unit Donovan's Dark Devils engaged a lance of 'Mechs from the planetary militia near Summerville.[1]
Meanwhile the rest of the mercenary attacked the maglev train carrying the militia's dependents to the safety of Summerville's shelters and destroyed the train during the fighting. Most observers believe this was done intentionally.[1]
The final assault against the Militia was a disaster for the mercenaries. They found unbridled fury and the Militia tore through them. Only the unit's DropShip was able to retreat, with Captain Donovan killed during the battle.[2]
But as Kirkpatrick's Invaders withdraw, there were left in an untenable position, and they were unable to stand against the remaining regular Marik forces and thus surrendered.[2]
