The Marik Militia [[brigade]] was formed in the early [[twenty-third century]] as the primary offensive and defensive brigade of the newly-formed [[Free Worlds League]]. The '''Fifth Marik Militia''' would serve the League for centuries. Like the other regiments of the brigade, the Fifth was dedicated to serving and defending the people of the League, rather than serving the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]], a distinction that separated the Militia from other federal formations such as the [[Atrean Dragoons]] and [[Free Worlds Guards]].<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp10">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 10: "Marik Militia"</ref>

The Fifth Marik Militia fought alongside the [[First Marik Militia|First]], [[Third Marik Militia|Third]] and [[Fourth Marik Militia]] in the [[Reunification War]] as a part of the Marik Auxiliary Corps assigned to support the [[Star League Defense Force]] [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]] during the invasion of the [[Magistracy of Canopus]]. VII Corps was the largest of the corps at the time, and was commanded by [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Marion Marik]]; the Marik Auxiliary Corps was commanded by [[General]] [[Ian Marik]], and while VII Corps took the lead on many of the planetary campaigns, elements of the Marik Auxiliary Corps were present on almost every campaign of the war between the [[Star League]] and the Magistracy. The Fifth were no exception to this, seeing service in no less than five planetary conquests.<ref name="H:RWp148">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 148: "Magistracy Of Canopus Front(Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp149">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 149: "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp95">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 95: "SLDF Task Force Canopus"</ref>

The invasion of [[Gouderak]] was the first combat action against the Magistracy following the declaration of war, and by the time the Fifth had left their garrison world of [[Cole Harbour]] and joined the [[Second Oriente Hussars]] in reinforcing the VII Corps' [[Fifty-fifth Brigade]] in June [[2577]], the Fifty-fifth had already seized the world, sweeping aside the limited resistance offered by the single company of [['Mechs]] from the [[First Canopian Light Horse]] assigned as a garrison. The Fifty-fifth had already discovered another problem that would plague the SLDF campaign; Gouderak lacked the resources to support an SLDF garrison of any size, making it impossible for the occupying force to simply live off the land as had originally been planned, and similar problems would be encountered on other worlds.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp97">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 97: "Gouderak (June 2577)"</ref>

In [[2578]], the Fifth was assigned to the operation against [[Payvand]]. One of three former [[Free Worlds League]] worlds which had defected to the Magistracy in the 2550s, Payvand was a heavily industrialized world even at the time of the Reunification War, and when the SLDF task force invaded in July there was a significant level of resistance despite the lack of MAF units on the world.  Although four regiments from the FWLM had been assigned to the invasion of Payvand - the Fifth, alongside the Fourth Marik Militia, the Second Oriente Hussars and the [[Juggernaut (Free Worlds League)|Juggernaut regiment]] of the [[Stewart Dragoons]] - the Marik forces didn't get to make a major contribution. All four were [['Mech]] formations, assigned alongside the [[Thirty-fifth Royal CAAN Marine Regiment]] to support the VII Corps' [[Fifty-seventh Brigade]], and the level of resistance was such that the Fifty-seventh was forced to occupy both the city of New Barcelona and the PayMax Industrialplex, one of the very few occasions in the Magistracy campaign where the terms of the [[Ares Conventions]] were breached. Despite the need to operate in urban areas because of the local resistance, the Captain-General ordered that 'Mech troops must not operate in urban areas on Payvand, leaving the Fifty-seventh Brigade's infantry regiments to clear buildings, stage riot control operations and deal with the urban guerrilla resistance. Although Payvand was declared to have been pacified by late November [[2578]] and the planetary governor had already begun the process of requesting readmission to the Free Worlds League, resistance to the SLDF garrison would rumble on until [[2580]].<ref name="H:RWp100">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 100: "Ruschegg, Payvand and Scheuerheck (July-December 2578)"</ref>

====Eleusis====
−
The battle for the Magistracy world of [[Eleusis]] was expected to be more difficult than the majority of the previous planetary campaigns wagered by the SLDF task force due to the eight assorted regiments of defending forces expected to be on the planet, but the MAF upped the stakes considerably; the VII Corps' [[Fifty-seventh Brigade]] and the [[Sixty-first Royal Brigade]] were assigned to conquer the world, with the [[401st Independent Regiment]], the Thirty-fifth Royal CAAN Marine Regiment, the Fifth Marik Militia and the [[First Fusiliers of Oriente|First Fusiliers of Oriente Brigade]] providing support. Unknown to VII Corps the MAF had played an elaborate shell game, moving regiments around and between planets, and had increased the defending force from eight regiments to twenty-two, including four [[BattleMech]] regiments - three of which were from the elite [[Chasseurs á Cheval]], the premier Magistracy 'Mech unit. The MAF had sabotaged the computer records at the system cargo waystations and recharge station, giving the SLDF no information on traffic on the system and no intelligence on the forces gathered on the planet; the MAF Navy had also stationed an [[aerospace fighter]] carrier in the system at a covert location, and the MAF AeroSpace squadrons waited until the SLDF DropShips were halfway through their burn to the planet before striking at the SLDF transport ships, savaging more than twenty vessels before being driven off. A large portion of the landing troops were effectively trapped in-system, and arrived on the planet only to find that a predicted two-week campaign for control of the planet would instead take four months as [[Colonel]] [[Ann-Britt McMillan]] led the defending forces on an extended cat and mouse game that let them inflict more damage on the SLDF strike force than they received in return, only finally giving up control of the world when ordered to retreat by the [[Magestrix]].<ref name="H:RWp100+">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 100–101: "Eleusis, Obrenovac and Bethnolog (March 2579-January 2580)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp150">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 150: "Magistracy of Canopus Front (Jump-Off-2582)"</ref>

The performance of the Fifth on Tetski is overshadowed by that of their sister regiment, the First Marik Militia. The heavily industrialized world of [[Tetski]] was the site of one of the more important battles of the SLDF campaign against the Magistracy. In the [[twenty-sixth century]], Tetski was one of the most rimward Magistracy colonies, and the site of some of the most extensive [[BattleMech]] repair facilities in the nation. As an important cog in the MAF war machine, battalions and regiments of Canopian troops were regularly rotated through Tetski and the system was one of the few worlds other than Canopus to merit a permanent naval [[WarShip]] picket. The First landed a week ahead of the other invading forces and fought a highly mobile campaign to draw the defending [[Third Canopian Light Horse]] away from their prepared defenses. The Fifth jumped in-system alongside the VII Corps' [[Fifty-eighth Brigade]] and the [[Third Fusiliers of Oriente|Third Fusiliers of Oriente Brigade]] as a combined SLDF and FWLM [[WarShip]] flotilla tore through the defending Magistracy WarShips.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp150"/><ref name="H:RWp101">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 101–102: "Tetski (September-November 2582)"</ref>

The Third Light Horse made a cross-country race towards the capital city of Tokhai, arriving inside the city defenses just as the 'Mechs of the [[Fifty-eighth Brigade]] entered the atmosphere. Unable to catch the Third Light Horse out in the open, the task force was faced with a siege against a determined foe with access to significant resources. It took three weeks for the assembled forces to push their way into the city, but even when the task force had seized the industrial, economic and political centers of the city, the Third Light Horse refused to surrender. Instead, the Canopians fought until every man was down, inflicting heavy casualties on both sides. The loss of Tetski and the facilities there was a heavy blow to the MAF war effort.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp101"/>

The battle for [[Cate's Hold]] was the last major campaign for the Fifth Marik Militia during the war with the Magistracy, and would likely have been fought considerably earlier had an error on the part of an [[HCID]] clerk come to light sooner; Cate's Hold had been built up to be a supply and repair base and was supporting the last surviving MAF Navy vessels, and became a priority target for the SLDF task force in April [[2587]]. The Fifty-seventh Brigade and the [[Sixty-third Royal Brigade]] formed the bulk of the force tasked with conquering Cate's Hold, with the [[403rd Independent Regiment]] and the Fifth Marik Militia providing support. The [[Second Canopian Fusiliers]] had retreated to Cate's Hold after being forced from [[Lockton]] by the Fifty-seventh and had been joined by [[Samuelson's Slaughterers]]; both units fought the invading SLDF troops until they were effectively destroyed in one of the toughest campaigns of war's closing stages.<ref name="H:RWp149"/><ref name="H:RWp151">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 151: "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp105">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 105: "Mopping Up (2584-2588)"</ref>
