History

Formation

The 34th Marik Militia was formed in 3057.

Operation Guerrero

During Operation Guerrero the 34th Marik Militia captured Pollux.[1] There they faced off against a regiment of infantry and armor.[2]

Operation Bulldog

The 34th didn't participate in Operation Bulldog.

Jihad

In 3067 they were headquartered on Amity.[3] The 34th Marik Militia was part of Operation Broken Fist, the defense of the Free Worlds League against invading forces from the Lyran Commonwealth's Skye and Bolan Provinces.[4] By 3079 they had overcome their inexperience and become a stalwart defense unit. Splitting into two smaller commands, they garrisoned the Tamarind District worlds Epsilon and Nockatunga.[5]

Officers

As of 3059 the commanding officer was Colonel William Adams.[6]

Tactics

The 34th is too new to have any tactical specialties.[6]
