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]
The relentless pace of Lyran assaults on worlds protected by the Thirty-Fourth eventually led to disaster. In 3080 the Thirty-Fourth was soundly defeated at Epsilon, suffering severe losses before they could escape to the friendly system of Promised Land. Shortly thereafter, the Free Worlds League was disbanded. This shocking event, coupled with the unit's losses, drove morale to an all-time low. For the next five years, any rumor of a deployment to a front line sparked numerous desertions.[6]
Officers
As of 3059 to 3067 the commanding officer was Colonel William Adams.[2][3]
As of 3085 the commanding officer is Colonel Rumi Vyse[7]
Tactics
The 34th is too new to have any tactical specialties.[2]
