−	The Thirty-fourth Marik Militia was one of a dozen regiments of the [[Marik Militia]] to be raised in the period between the eruption of the [[Amaris Civil War]] in [[2765]]<ref name="FR:2765p10">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 10: "Marik Militia"</ref> and the onset of the [[First Succession War]] in [[2786]],<ref name="FSWp138"/> and when the [[Free Worlds League]] annexed a number of [[Terran Hegemony]] worlds in [[2785]] the Thirty-fourth was assigned as the garrison for [[Denebola]], along with a pair of ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvettes to serve as a naval picket for the system. The relatively light garrison was a result of how heavily deployed the [[Free Worlds League Military]] was - a result of the combined stresses of heavy fighting on the border with the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the ongoing annexation of former Hegemony worlds, and the invasion of the [[Capellan Confederation]].<ref name="FSWp29">''First Succession War'', p. 29: "Lyran Commonwealth Gains"</ref>	+	The '''Thirty-fourth Marik Militia''' was a newly-formed unit when the [[First Succession War]] began, and when the [[Free Worlds League]] annexed a number of [[Terran Hegemony]] worlds in [[2785]] the Thirty-fourth was assigned as the garrison for [[Denebola]], along with a pair of ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvettes to serve as a naval picket for the system.

	The Thirty-fourth took up residence in the battered facilities that had once been the home base of the [[Star League Defense Force]] [[282nd Mechanized Infantry Division]], and were soon sparring with pro-Hegemony guerrillas active on Denebola, losing a company of [[BattleMech]]s to the guerrillas by [[2786]]. The Lyran Commonwealth invaded Denebola in [[2786]], deploying the [[Fourteenth Lyran Guards]] as the invasion force, accompanied by a naval escort consisting of a pair of ''[[Commonwealth (WarShip class)|Commonwealth]]''-class light cruisers, the [[LCS Odessa|LCS ''Odessa'']] and [[LCS Porrima|LCS ''Porrima'']]. Despite being outgunned, the [[Francisco|FWLS ''Francisco'']] and her sister ship gamely attempted to attack the Lyran invasion force, only for the opening volley of laser and missile fire from the ''Odessa'' to destroy the ''Francisco'' outright - at which point her sister ship fled the Denebola system, leaving the Thirty-fourth to attempt to resist the invasion without naval support.<ref name="FSWp29"/>		The Thirty-fourth took up residence in the battered facilities that had once been the home base of the [[Star League Defense Force]] [[282nd Mechanized Infantry Division]], and were soon sparring with pro-Hegemony guerrillas active on Denebola, losing a company of [[BattleMech]]s to the guerrillas by [[2786]].
